Unusual things to do in Rome
You want an evening that is not another dinner and not another walking tour — something with a story in it, for two people or a small group of friends on a weekend away.
Why Rome works for this
Rome rewards being sent down streets you would never have chosen, which is most of what a good city mission does.
How the evening runs
An evening through the lanes around Piazza Navona and Trastevere, finishing near dinner.
Routes here run through Campo de' Fiori, the lanes of Trastevere and the streets around Piazza Navona. Hosting is available in English and Italian.
