- Caffe Peru’ - Stop at a haunted square, where a couple of professional poisoners helped hundreds of women kill their husbands.
- Via Giulia - Walk down an ancient street built to allow the Pope to visit his mistresses in peace.
- Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte - Stop at the head church of the brotherhood of Death. This is the place where thousands of bodies collected from the streets of Rome were buried.
- Fontana del Mascherone - The exact place from which John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in the 1970s, and still haunted by his ghost.
- Piazza Farnese - Built by one of the filthiest families of Rome, Piazza Farnese and the palace are breathtakingly dark.

Spooky and fun - Super interesting tour with a lot of history. More of a spooky story tour vs. ghost but did not disappoint! Our guide was engaging and one of the best ghost tours we’ve been on. Highly recommend as it’s a different way to see Rome vs. normal tourist attractions.

Engaging and entertaining tour, must do! - We absolutely loved this tour and cannot recommend it enough! Was full of great stories about little buildings we would have otherwise just walked past! Got more out of 5 minutes of this tour than we did out of much longer tours of key sites! Bryan is such a lovely guy and will keep you engaged and laughing the whole time. Please go on this tour! You won’t regret it!

Definitely Not Haunted - There was nothing haunted about this tour. It’s misleading to say it’s haunted. Perhaps change the description of the tour so that people know what they are getting

Meh. Average. I think it depends A LOT on the guide. - This COULD have been a really fun experience, filled with creepy stories while standing at the places where those events took place. But, our guide struggled a bit with English, and lacked the ability to really engage us. (Note to Viator: theatre students/actors would be perfect for this.)
It WAS a nice night for a walk, however, and the other tourists were very nice — and we saw some places we would not have otherwise. So, we all agree, we’d rate it a “C” overall.
