Highlights
  • Campo de’ Fiori - We’ll meet in Campo de’ Fiori, one of Rome’s most famous piazzas. Although it’s well known for lively bars and restaurants, it was once the former site of executions making it the perfect place to begin our spooky adventure.

  • Piazza Farnese - Your guide will tell you about the wild and lavish parties that were once held in this square by the city’s wealthy elite, and the legend of its secret passageway.

  • Via del Mascherone & Vicolo dei Venti - Hear the history of the crime-stopping statues called madonelles or “little madonnas”.

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

  • Fontana del Mascherone - Rome’s deadliest fountain.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Orazione e morte - This 17th century church is made of human remains reminding those who visit that death is lurking at every corner.

  • Via di Monserrato - One of the most haunted places in Rome, this apartment block was once the site of the worst prison in the city’s history.

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

  • Via Giulia - This former beauty shop which tells the story of when cosmetics can kill.

  • Via dell’Arco dei Banchi - Hear the chilling story of Rome’s most infamous executioner “Mastro Titta”… in front of his childhood home.

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

An interesting and amazing tour to start your stay at Rome - Csenge our guide was not only very pretty but she is knowledgeable too. She makes the tour exciting by quizzing the group and that also helped us to remember everything of the tour even today.

Ghost Rome overpriced walk - Overpriced 90 min walk, sorry for the price given we can expect some more thrilling experience. Entrance to Colloseum by night plus dinner would be nice, story telling at this rate per hour is not fair

Never got to go. We went... - Never got to go. We went to the address to meet the guide and they never showed up. It was our first night in Rome and was looking forward to it. We arrived early and stayed late at the "meeting site" and no one ever showed up, very disappointing.
