Itinerary
We begin in one of Rome's most famous piazzas, Campo de' Fiori. Now known for its lively bars and gastronomic scene, it was once an execution site making it the perfect place to start our spooky adventure!
Hear about the lavish parties that were hosted in this square by the wealthy elite and learn the legend of its secret passageway.
Several madonelles or “little madonnas' decorate our route and we’ll learn about how they once worked to stop crime.
Ponte Sisto is not only famous for being the oldest bridge in Rome, it also has a gruesome past that involved tragic accidents, power struggles, theft and of course, suspicious deaths.
You’re not supposed to drink from the fountains in Rome but if you dare drink from this one, it will have deadly consequences.
This 17th century church is made from human bones and reminds visitors that death is closer than we think.
This is one of the most haunted apartment blocks in the city and was once the site of one the worst prison in Rome’s history.
This Spanish church in the heart of Rome has a scandalous story worthy of a telenovela.
At this former beauty shop you’ll learn a story of when cosmetics can kill.
This quaint house was the childhood home of “Mastro Titta”, one of Rome’s most famous executioners.
The bridge now surrounded by statues of angels was once used to expose the bodies of the executed as a warning to sinners. Here you’ll listen to the story of the Cenci family and how they met their fatal end.

Great walk in an area of Rome we had not discovered. Our guide had great stories and tied a lot of history to her ghost stories.
Great tour! Not so much about haunting a but certainly the darker side of Rome’s history. CSENGE is knowledgeable and friendly. Don’t hesitate to book!
Amazing experience! Was really interesting. Change is reall professional in her business. Amazing experience! Was really interesting. Change is reall professional in her business.
A great add on to my Rome experience and nice to do a walking tour at night with more of a niche historical spin. My guide was well informed & friendly. She had many fun facts about the buildings we walked through and even gave us a few “spot the” activities
We had the most amazing experience on our private ghost tour. Learned so much about the city, its darker history, and Meham also answered all of our questions about the tour and some helpful tips on Rome. Would definitely recommend!
Joseph was awesome, great history lessons I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Again hopefully you get Joseph as the guide.
Very interesting tour walking around various locations, was a great way to spend new year eve. Antonio was very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable
Wonderful tour. Very fun! The guide was knowledgeable and gave the history of Rome you won’t find on the mainstream tours.
Dominica was lovely! Great tour and interesting sites we likely would never have seen. Glad we booked it.
I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Dominica made the experience both interesting and easy-going, keeping the atmosphere fun. A great way to see the city from a different perspective—I’d definitely recommend it!
Sarah was amazing!!! She was so interesting and detailed. Would definitely recommend! She also had pictures of everyone she was referencing. Bravo!!
Our tour guide was very informative on her presentation and made the experience so enjoyable would highly recommend
Very informational for topics covered. Just wasn’t what we personally thought it was going to be. Our guide was very knowledgeable and energetic so I would have given her 5 stars. Gave 3 only based on the advertising and because I hoped for more.
This was great tour very interesting stories about the dark side of Rome and history our guide was amazing!
Super knowledgeable, super personable, very fun experience. It was my favorite tour in Rome. His name is Simon.
great tour would reccomend , very interesting and detailed and friendly tour guide great stops along the way
Maham was AMAZING!! Knowledgeable and fun, highly recommend. You’ll enjoy the nighttime ambiance and spooky stories.
Diletta is excellent guide, there was lots of interesting facts, lots of history. She has great sense of humor. Excellent tour.
Our guide Domenica was amazing!! She knew so much, and it seemed like she spent time outside the tour researching guests’ questions to better inform her future tours, which is very commendable. Walking around Rome at night was also very fun, but if you go in the winter, be prepared for the cold!!
Amazing your! Spooky fun and informative. A definite must when visiting Rome. Enjoy your visit and have fun!
Changa was great! Fabulous tour learned alot and saw alot of beauty! Would recommend this tour anytime you’re in Rome :)
Lovely experience, the dark stories were very interesting. Wear comfortable shoes for this tour. Would recommend.
Diletta was a great tour guide. We had an amazing time! Highly recommended for everyone looking for history and ghost stories!
Sarah was friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. Her love for the city came through in her presentation. Her stories brought otherwise innocuous parts of the city to life and the 2 hour tour flew by effortlessly. She modified parts of her stories for our 12 year old without losing any quality or entertainment. A wonderful way to spend the evening and see Rome. Highly recommend.
Our guide was super knowledgeable, caring and fun! We had a great evening and we would definitely recommend to others!!
Paula, for not being a native of Rome, had a fantastic knowledge of the subject matter. She was fab!
Spooky stories from a great guide! We really enjoyed our tour, Paula was awesome and we were entertained
Diletta delivered a great tour, full of dark stories and tragic circumstances. It was very interesting and my young teens found it interesting as well. Covered a wide range of stories that get the imagination going! My only negative comment is that at times it was very difficult to hear over the noise in some piazzas.
Our guide Csenge provided us with an evening of entertainment, history and fun. Would definitely recommend it to others visiting Rome
Thoroughly enjoy our tour of the Vatican museums today with Karl our tour guide He shared great knowledge through out the experience and covered all aspects greatly 👍
Paola was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about some of Rome’s darker history. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Chenga was wonderful and brought the darker side of Rome alive for us. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment and love the hidden places she revealed and the murky past. I have been to Rome many times but learnt so many new things. Highly recommended
All in all it was a fun experience. Our tour guide provided information about public executions that took place between the 14th-16th centuries beginning with Giordano Bruno and other interesting facts surrounding significant deaths in Rome. The only reason I didn’t give it a five is there were times during our walking tour it was too noisy to hear and not that it was her fault.
I unfortunately can’t recall our guides name but she was amazing. Superb English and a truly fantastic tour of some of the back streets of Rome. She pointed out things that we never would have noticed and told us some truly interesting stories about the places and people of Rome. A great experience and a must do when in Rome
Dalila was an AMAZING guide! She brought all of the stories she told to life and I loved that she also had pictures on her phone to help tell the stories. She had so much knowledge to share and I absolutely loved her vibe throughout the tour. Highly recommend and it was one of the best tour guides we've had.
Delilah was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and we had a great time. A couple freaky things happened when I was out with her. We saw a shadow in a room as well as a light turning off. A street Light dimmed when she talked. Just creepy stuff. I’d really like to go out again but to see interiors of these places and hear more ghost stories. Can’t wait for my next trip.
Amazing! Really interesting! Definitely recommend this tour, the guide was Knowledgeable and the stories were excellent
This was my second time on this tour. It was just as interesting, and spooky, as it was the first time. Our guide was so knowledgeable and kept us entranced for the full your.
The stories were interesting and fascinating, a lot if funny as well, really like it . A little short maybe.
The tour was long, so good value for money, and the host knew a lot of history which was impressive. However, after being at the Vatican and St. Peter’s this morning, and being practising catholics, we did find some of the stories about the church a little offensive. We expected a bit more ‘spook’ but overall it was good to get a different side of history of Roma and to see some places we might not have gone.
ici kenne Rom sehr gut, trotzdem gab es für mich Neues und interessantes zu hören und zu entdecken; die Führung war sehr gut und spannend gemacht - alles BESTENS !
EXCELENTE TOUR! Fui con mi hermana y nos encanto conocer secretos de roma! Acudi con mi hermana, el tour es en ingles, si no hablas ingles no vale la pena ir, pero fuera de eso nos gusto mucho!
