Rome walking tour: sunset squares, moonlight, street food and private walks

The sunset walk, $49. A small-group walk led by a fully licensed guide, from Piazza Navona to the outside of the Pantheon, then the Trevi Fountain, ending at the Spanish Steps. Two hours, rated 4.9 on 811 reviews. The listing is clear that the Pantheon is seen from outside.

The moonlight walk, $33. A guided evening walk of the historic centre under the city lights, stopping at the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. Two and a half hours, rated 4.9 on 1,299 reviews, with a private option listed. It is the cheapest listing on this page and has more reviews than the sunset walk.

The difference is the hour and the route: the sunset walk covers four squares in daylight into dusk; the moonlight walk is later, longer and cheaper. Both are set beside the night golf carts and the night Vespa on the after-dark page.

Street food, $49. A walk through Trastevere and Campo de’ Fiori with a foodie guide, two and a half hours, the most reviewed walk on this page at 4,617 and rated 4.9. It belongs with the tastings and the pasta classes on the food walks page, but it is a walk first.

The seven-hour day, $166. Timed entry to the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum, time inside the Sistine Chapel, and a walk past the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain between them, with a choice of a group of 20 or of 10. Rated 4.7 on 664 reviews. It is the one walk here whose price covers entries; the listing does not show Free cancellation.

The family evening, $334. A private walk through the city centre after sunset with a guide who specialises in children, with activities along the way and a taste of pizza and gelato. Two and a half hours, rated 4.8 on 67 reviews, wheelchair access listed.

The private walk at $568 is three hours for your own group: the Pantheon, a gelato, and the underground ruins beneath the Trevi Fountain, which no other walk on this page goes down to. It is rated 4.9 on 63 reviews, a smaller sample than the shared walks, and the listing does not show Free cancellation.

For a private guide at a lower price, the moonlight walk at $33 lists a private option on the same centre route. The other private ways round the city, by golf cart, car and Vespa, are on the private tours page.

On price, a walk is the cheapest guided time on this site: the moonlight walk costs $33 for two and a half hours with a guide, less than the gelato golf cart at $44, and both are rated 4.8 or higher. The four shared walks on this page carry 7,391 reviews between them and none is rated below 4.7.

Where a walk is not the right purchase: if you want to be driven, the hop-on hop-off bus at $22 is cheaper still, though rated 4.1; and if you want to cover more ground in the same two hours, the golf carts and the bikes, from $35, do that with a guide.
