Overview

When daylight fades, postcard Rome clocks off, and a far older, stranger city takes its place. Join the city’s original and award-winning Rome ghost tour through lamplit piazzas, twisting lanes and quiet corners where the past has an inconvenient habit of lingering. Led by an expert storyteller, you’ll enter a world of forbidden magic, papal scandal, public executions, deadly ambition and restless spirits. Behind grand façades lie stories Rome would probably prefer you didn’t hear: crimes that became legends, legends that may contain more truth than anyone expected, and several people who took death rather badly. In a small group of no more than 15, lose yourself in the atmosphere as familiar streets become darker, stranger and far more interesting. Expect suspense, vivid storytelling and sharp humour as haunted Rome slowly reveals itself. Come curious. Leave looking over your shoulder, and wondering what else may be walking home with you.

What’s included

  • Storytelling from professional guides (no gimmicks, no ghost-hunting apps)
  • Stops at execution sites, cursed alleys, and churches with unsettling décor choices
  • A 2-hour guided tour of Rome’s most haunted, scandalous, and death-adjacent spots
  • Chilling history, ghost stories, and moments of “Wait... that really happened?”
  • Small group (max 15 guests) so you don’t disappear in the crowd - or the dark

Not included

  • Food and drinks, though we do make a stop where you can grab both
  • Mercy for historical reputations. If they did it, we say it
  • Costumes, theatrics, or ghost-hunting nonsense - just storytelling, the way it should be
  • Transport to the meeting point or from the final destination. We couldn't hire a hearse.
