Highlights
  • Centro Storico - Your ghost tour of Rome will start with the dark tale of people executed for crimes they didn’t commit and the dungeons inside the Papal fortress.

The tour continues along the dark streets away from the tourist track, to the piazzas that witnessed some of the most horrible crimes in history. Walk around the residence of a serial killer who poisoned over 600 men and learn about an executioner who executed half a thousand people over a long, 65-year career.

Stop at the ancient prison where hundreds of women were tortured and executed and learn about the tools used to put people to death.

Walk the street built to allow Pope Julius to visit his mistresses in privacy, and see the head-church of the Brotherhood of Death.

Follow your passionate guide to the piazza without churches and from there to the place where thousands were burned alive.

A great way to hear about the brutal history of the city - Elvira our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and a good host. The tour was very interesting and a nice way to see some areas of the city that you might not otherwise see. The tour was full of stories of crimes and the brutal history of the city with a few ghost thrown in. Come expecting an entertaining tour with some great stories, but don’t expect to see any ghosts!

Really interesting - Bryan shared really interesting and horrible tales - it's no wonder there are so many ghosts in Rome!. We all used the diviner and I think we did connect to the spirit world. Bryan was a font of information and I now know why The Vatican is a city state. The meeting point was easy to find and it was a great way to spend an evening touring Rome.
