One of the best ways to meet people in a new city is to grab a drink together, and few city serve up more iconic drinks than Rome. Whether you’re travelling solo or with a group, for a long vacation or a short city break – our Rome Tipsy Tour is for you!

This Is Not Your Typical Bar Crawl of Rome.

This unique nightlife experience combines all our favourite elements of travel: discovering new places, being immersed in different cultures, meeting fun people, and trying out a range of delicious drinks! It’s not a run-of-the-mill bar crawl. It’s a sociable tour that gives you a real taste of with Rome’s sights, stories, and signature drinks in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with fun, local hosts. We also welcome sober travellers who want to join for a social experience but who want to forgo a hangover, so we’ll have non-alcoholic options available as well!

The Original Tipsy Tour of Rome

You’ll meet your guide and group at Piazza Madonna dei Monti, where we’ll break the ice with a warm Italian welcome – aka, a refreshing glass of local wine. After saying cheers—salute—we’ll head into Monti, an uber-trendy district filled with quirky bars and cobblestoned streets, and plenty to unpack. In ancient Rome, Monti was known as a suburra – the red-light district of Rome where prostitutes plied their trade and gangsters once roamed. As we wander through the cobblestone streets your guide will tell you scandalous stories of sex and bloodshed that you won’t hear on your typical walking tour. 


After so much scandal, you’ll surely need a drink. So at our first stop on the Rome Tipsy Tour you’ll get an extra stiff one. The spotlight will be on Carpano Classico a venerable vermouth with a curious story! Unravel the history of the man who made it – Antonio Benedetto Carpano – back in 1786 whilst sharing some sips with your newfound friends.


We’ll keep the night going with some more saucy stories before trying a classic Italian Spritz. Indulge in the bitter flavours of Aperol or Campari Spritz while enjoying dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing—apart from getting tipsy of course!

Our final stop is Rome’s most iconic road, the Via dei Fori Imperiali, leading down to the Colosseum. The views of the ancient city are best enjoyed after dark with an ice-cold Limoncello – trust us. Sip away as your guide tells shocking stories of the power-hungry Roman emperors who once ruled the known world.


At 11 p.m., the Tipsy Tour officially ends, but the night out begins! We will continue drinking with our new friends at some of Rome’s most popular bars!


Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We promise to make your night in Rome one you’ll never forget! Skip a boring walking tour, and come get tipsy with us.

Piazza Madonna dei Monti

The Tipsy Tour’s first stop at Piazza Madonna dei Monti immerses you in the heart of Roman life. Surrounded by charming cobblestone streets, you’ll savour wine like a local, sharing laughter and stories with your newfound friends.

Carpano Classico

Carpano Classico was created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano, an Italian distiller, in 1786. He skillfully mixed a variety of botanicals to create something beautiful and enduring. As you enjoy your glass, we’ll take a page from Benedetto’s book and mix too. Together we’ll mix and mingle with one another to create pure, Roman magic. See what we did there? While you sip you’ll learn how to say “salute!” like a proper Italian, you’ll hear the fascinating (and disturbing) story of Emperor Nero and his strange relationship with his mother Agrippina.

Spritz o’clock!

Take part in a true Italian tradition – an evening spritz (other traditions include terrible driving, excessive hand-waving, and wearing sunglasses even after dark.) We’ll visit a bar in the heart of Monti – a trendy, student-centred neighbourhood today but the dark underbelly of ancient Rome – full of brothels, gang hideouts, and home to a certain Julius Caesar.

Limoncello

It’s known as Limoncello to us, but to the Italians, it’s called “Mother’s Milk”. This sweet, sugary after-dinner digestif is best enjoyed with a view of the ancient city after dark. As you sip your drink, your guide will wow you with tales of Emperors and power struggles that you won’t hear on a normal walking tour.

All Roads Lead to Bars

Where the tipsy tour ends, the night out begins! We’ll finish our itinerary and conveniently find ourselves situated in Rome’s historic centre – ready and raring to take advantage of the Eternal City that never sleeps.
