Itinerary
We begin in Campo de' Fiori, one of Rome's most famous piazza's. Now known for its lively bars and restaurants it was once an execution site and is the perfect place to start our spooky adventure!
This beautiful square was a former party hub and is home to a scandalous legend involving a secret passageway and two popes.
Along our route we’ll discover several madonelles or “little madonnas” and we’ll learn about how they worked to stop crime.
The oldest bridge in Rome, Ponte Sisto has a gruesome past that involved tragic accidents, power struggles, theft and of course, suspicious deaths.
Unlike other fountains in Rome, this one bears a warning to all those who dare drink from it.
This 17th century church decorated in human remains from long ago reminds visitors that death is just around the corner.
Now a haunted apartment block, this was the site of one of the worst prisons in Rome’s history.
This Spanish church in the heart of Rome bears a saucy story worthy of a telenovela.
This former bar had an even earlier history as a beauty shop. Here you’ll learn about the story of when cosmetics can kill.
This seemingly quaint house once belonged to Rome’s most famous executioner “Mastro Titta”.
The bridge that was used to expose the bodies of the executed to be a warning to sinners is now surrounded by statues of angels and tells the story of the Cenci family and how they met their fatal end.

Such a fun and unique activity! We would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Rome. Definitely a must-do experience!
Atousa was a great guide with a very detailed history of the ghost events!
Interesting, insightful and enjoyable Tour. This is our third visit to Rome and it was great to discover lesser known history and areas we'd not yet been to. Ana was a fantastic guide. Highly recommend this tour for newbies and returners. There is a comfort break stop half way through too.
We really enjoyed our tour. The guide was informative and really friendly and enthusiastic. We learned a lot of history that you probably don't typically hear and it was a lot of fun.
Meeting place was perfect. The tour and guide were so good, lots of spooky tails. I have to say, the guide made this trip (Smit) was really informative, knew his stuff and entertained us all. Thank you Smit.
Maham was excellent, informative, charming and dynamic.
Great experience, she tells everything in detail, and is very expressive with her words! She is very kind, We had Maham
Me and my Husband found this tour last minute and we’re really glad we went! I love Dark History and this was perfect around Halloween Time! Our tour guide Atousa was the best, she took her time explaining and made everything really easy and fun to understand. Thanks for having us, we’d highly recommend :)

Amazing time, Dominica was very knowledgeable about her history and I learned so much! Love hearing about all the haunted areas! Will highly recommend to anyone else!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours walking around Rome with our knowledgable, friendly tour guide Csenge. She took us to 10 different stops (all within a very manageable walking radius). A fun way to see the city at night and learn about some lesser known Rome stories.
This was great fun and something different to do in Rome. The tour guide was informative and gave a lot of interesting facts about the district.
I loved Anna my tour guide. Very informative and shared her paranormal experiences she herself had encountered.
Small group (13) interesting and a easy walk with many stops to explain the history
I did this on my last night in Rome, and it didn’t disappoint. It was a fun way to see the city at night and we learned a lot of stories and facts about some of the way “punishments” were dealt back in the day! Our guide,, Smit, was super engaging and very passionate about the stories he shared. Highly recommend this tour!
We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide shared alot if information about the different places she took us to. We didn't have any ghost sightings but it was a busy night in Rome.
