True Crime / Horror history - I've attended the tour on June 9th 24 as a solo traveler first time in Rome. In the oversaturated market of toured guides the 'Rome Historical True Crime Tour' is a refreshing stand out. As a solo traveler I kept my eye on people and their attention during the tour, it was unusual to have everyone feel so engaged with the stories provided! Shoutout to Ariel who made the tour absolutely amazing! I share what I've learned with people interested in my experience in Rome!

This tour was so fun! - Not so much “true crime” but more of a “dark side”. I really enjoyed the information and our guide pointed out and shared landmarks we may have just walked past and not noticed. Our guide was enthusiastic and was willing to give us local tips and where to get the best gelato :)

Brothels, naughty popes and ghosts galore!! - Ben was full of great historical stories from the city. You can tell he loves Rome and history. It was a fun and interesting evening exploring a different part of the city we would have never seen without the tour.

Crime walk - Difficult to hear the guide because Rome is so loud. I would recommend giving the guide a microphone/lavalier. I would have liked to see some more landmarks on this tour.
