Description
Rome has a beautiful side. This isn’t it.
You’re here for ghosts, executions, and terrible people doing terrible things in nice piazzas, and we respect that. This is the original ghost tour of Rome: award-winning, widely imitated, but never equaled.
Led by expert storytellers (not actors in capes), you’ll wander Rome’s shadowy backstreets and discover the Eternal City’s hidden history - the bits too grim for school trips.
As night falls, we leave the postcard version of Rome behind and slip into the streets where the really good stories live. You’ll hear of a philosopher who got a little too clever for the church, a noblewoman who outlived popes and outsmarted everyone (except, possibly, death), a poisoner whose client list may have included half the city’s unhappy wives, and a 'magician' who charmed his way through Europe. Until he didn't.
We’ll visit haunted bridges, real execution sites, and churches with more scandal than sanctity. These are the places where Rome’s legends were born - and where some of them apparently never left.
This isn’t a night of jump scares and theatrics. It’s history with its gloves off - chilling, funny, and occasionally uncomfortably relatable. If you’ve ever wondered what lurks in Rome’s shadows after dark… it’s us. And we’ve got stories.
No gimmicks. No nonsense. No plastic ghost hunting gadgets. Just Rome's darkest stories, served with a smirk and a flicker of candlelight by expert storytellers.
Includes
A 2-hour guided tour of Rome’s most haunted, scandalous, and death-adjacent spots
Small group (max 15 guests) so you don’t disappear in the crowd - or the dark

Costumes, theatrics, or ghost-hunting nonsense - just storytelling, the way it should be
