Additional Information
Join us on this journey as we unveil the concealed aspects of Florence, enthralling you with tales of specters, assassinations, deceptions, and peculiarities that diverge from the common narratives of the city. Have you caught wind of the Monster of Florence, among the most savage serial murderers in history? Does your curiosity stretch to Florentine superstitions, plots, inexplicabilities, saints, miracles, or forms of punishment? If so, this exploration is designed for you. We issue a caution that some subjects may distress certain sensitivities and may not be apt for individuals under 18. Accompany us and unearth the facets of Florence that remain absent from tourist manuals, so disturbing, grim, and agitating that it may keep you awake at night. ha ha ha

Great tour - Amazing guide, really interesting tour with fun facts and unknown facts about the city. We went around some of the back alleys and small streets that connect to larger and more popular sights. It helped see the city in a new light and get to know more about its history and people.

Perfect evening tour. - Francesca was knowledgeable, kind and entertaining. She made the stories of Florence come to life. It was such a pleasure to walk down the street today with a friend who moved here and tell some
Of the stories even she did not know. We learned so much and it made us love this beautiful city even more.

Highly recommend if you have a free evening - Went to this with another solo traveller and we had Francesca guiding us. She was very lovely and knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions we had and made sure she spoke to everyone. Just under 2 hours and very interesting, well worth it.

Fantastic tour with Francesca - The tour goes by all the major landmarks but includes stories you wouldn't normally hear on a city tour! Highly recommended to see a more mysterious side of the city, especially with tourguide Francesca!

Haunting tales of Florence's past - We loved the tour thanks to Angela's gift for storytelling which really brought Florence's dark part to life!! Our group was big but Angela was careful to make sure that we could all hear. To be honest, I thought that two hours would be quite a long time, but the stories were so engrossing that it went by far too quickly! Grazie mille Angela!!

Great Not-So-Scary Tour for Tips. - Excellent tour for tips. Neat way to see Florence at night. Church near the starting point is also a must see…more ornate inside than most others we saw in our four days, including St Croce. And it was free but closing as the tour started.
