Highlights
  • Campo de’ Fiori - Our meeting point is Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s most famous piazzas. Nowadays it’s known for lively bars and restaurants but many people have died on its very grounds, making it the perfect place to start our spooky adventure!

  • Piazza Farnese - This square was once a hotspot for lavish parties hosted by the city’s wealthy elite…but with fortune comes a price.

  • Via del Mascherone & Vicolo dei Venti - Learn about the madonelles or “little madonnas” sprinkled along our route and their history as crime-stopping statues.

  • Ponte Sisto - Ponte Sisto is the oldest bridge in Rome and harbours a gruesome past involving tragic accidents, power struggles, theft and of course, suspicious deaths.

  • Fontana del Mascherone - Whatever you do, don’t drink from Rome’s deadliest fountain.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte - This 17th century church is decorated in human remains and serves as a reminder for all those who visit that death lurks at every corner.

  • Via di Monserrato - Find out why this apartment block is one of the most haunted places in Rome.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli - Hear the scandalous stories surrounding this Spanish church, which are worthy of a telenovela.

  • Via Giulia - This iconic building was once a former beauty shop which tells the story of when cosmetics can kill.

  • Via dell’Arco dei Banchi - A charming house on an unsuspecting street tells the chilling story of Rome’s most infamous executioner “Mastro Titta.”

  • Castel Sant’Angelo - This bridge used to expose the bodies of the executed as a warning to sinners. Nowadays it’s surrounded by statues of angels and tells the story of the Cenci family and how they met their fatal end.

Excellent Tour - This tour was awesome. I am a big fan of history/ghost/crime tours, and what better place to do one of these than Rome. Diletta was our guide and she was awesome. Very knowledgeable, funny, and spoke clearly and in fluent English (although I practiced my Italian with her a couple times too). I really enjoyed this tour and I will recommend it to anyone looking for a fun walking tour in Rome.

Great storytime around Rome - Great value. The guide Vanessa was great! Not a ghost tour. More of a history tour of stories around Rome. Guide was very knowledgable about Rome. She showed us around and was 5 star guide.

Great start to our trip - Loved it. We did this tour on our 1st night in Rome. Our guide Clara was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, engaging and funny. It’s not really a ghost tour, but we learnt a lot of the history and characters of Rome. Would recommend

Spooky Evening in Rome - Great evening in Rome. Bruce was an excellent guide. He did an excellent job of recreating the ghostly stories surrounding Rome. At one point i was genuinely spooked and was looking over my shoulder!! I recommend this tour for a different and unique experience in Rome.
