Drunken History Rome: Colosseum Terrace, Dinner & Cocktails (opens in a new tab)

81 3 h

Most Rome tours tell you about emperors and battles. This one tells you what they were doing after dark, drink in hand. You'll hear how sex shaped Roman society and just how far the emperors went: love affairs, power plays, brothels and forbidden desires history books leave out. Stop 1: A terrace with a view of the Colosseum (no entry). Welcome prosecco, a shot, and the first stories. Stop 2: A restaurant in Monti. Pasta, pizza and a drink while stories get bolder. Stop 3: A cocktail bar. The most outrageous story of the night, and a signature cocktail to close. Walking is minimal: you stand for the prosecco and shot, then sit for dinner and the final cocktail. Small group, adults only: most guests say it felt less like a tour and more like a night out with friends.
