Fantastic haunted tour with amazing guide - We really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Anna was wonderful, a fantastic storyteller who brought Venice’s history and legends to life. She took us to several hidden areas with incredible views that we would never have discovered on our own. The stories we learned were both fascinating and chilling, adding a whole new dimension to the city after dark. You can really feel her passion and deep connection as a true Venetian. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Venice!

We had the huge pleasure of attending this tour recently which was hosted by Anna (Celine Dion). - Spider-Man scares Anna …… After being greeted by our host Anna she proceeded to tell the gory secrets of the numerous murders that Venice has hidden from the world. Walking down narrow back streets, dimly lit alleyways Anna perfectly captures the mood of Venice after dark. She also shared her own personal fear - Spiders! If you want to see parts of Venice most people don’t see, then definitely book this tour, especially when the weather is cold and there is a risk of mist and fog in the air - thank you Anna, you certainly captured the mood perfectly !!

Venice Like You’ve Never Seen It – Spooky, Real, and Fascinating - If you’re visiting Venice for the first time, this tour is an absolute must. Our guide, Anna, was an incredible storyteller. She brought the city to life with six chilling ghost stories, each told right at the exact locations where they actually happened. That made the experience feel so real and immersive, not just stories but something you could almost see and feel. What made it even more fascinating was that she pointed out actual details and “evidence” at each site, which gave the stories an extra layer of mystery. You start to look at Venice in a completely different way after this tour. We loved every minute of it. It’s the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and a bit of thrill. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Venice, especially if you want to experience something beyond the usual tourist spots.

Tour Guide Anna Brought Stories Alive - My family of four with two sons ages 10 and 14 enjoyed this tour with Anna very much. Anna was perfection and really brought the stories alive as a life long Venetian. I would seek out future tours with her and highly recommend the tour!
