Better than great - A wonderful walking excursion through Venice. The “ghost stories” were well-researched and presented in a highly engaging manner. Our guide was better than great.

Fun evening - but, not spooky - I enjoyed the legends & stories. The trip was a nice length for evening. I do suggest tweaking the name, as I believe some people were looking for something more "spooky". Please be prepared that very rapid walking is needed to accommodate the anecdotes told (while standing still) and the distance covered from place to place. I am thankful that the narrative wasn't done while walking; as I am somewhat hard of hearing I wouldn't have been able to hear if the stories had been on the go. So much time & material was covered that I was surprised at the end to discover we had stayed within the timeline. And special thanks for the guide who verified that everyone knew how to get back where they were going from the end point. Nicely done, lovely guide.

Great time - Had a great time with the family. Our guide was really informative. She knew a lot about Venice. Not scary, lots of folklore stories, which are very interesting. Easy walk.

Good tour - Fun tour. More legends than ghosts/hauntings. Only complaint was that our tour guide showed up at the meeting point a minute before the tour was scheduled to begin. Thought we were in the wrong spot. Then as soon as the tour finished she walked off, didn’t even stay for anyone in the group to tip her.

Good tour, spooky and mystical enough for me - Good value...other reviews here seemed disappointed that there were no ghosts, but the stories and legends involve apparitions and visions...I think they were well spooky and just fine. Our guide communicated in English well and was very enthusiastic ...nobody in my group was disappointed

Not quite below average but closer to average. - Our guide Claudia was very nice but we found it difficult to hear her. Not necessarily her fault, the crowds were very loud. It was more a tour of the macabre than an actual ghost tour. I was expecting to hear more about hauntings then gruesome history.

Not a ghost tour - Nice guide who gave us some interesting facts but these were generally historical with not a single mention of any ghosts!

Poor - We thought we had a last minute booking through a helpful online chat. We were given either a tour that didn’t exist, or the wrong departure point. We couldn’t find the tour and ended up rushing around trying to find them with no avail.

Very overpriced - This was awful. I felt really sorry for the tour guide. I don't know if if it was her first time but could hardly hear her, there were no ghost stories. As her English wasn't great we didn't understand a lot of what she was trying to say. Really expensive for what it is, felt very ripped off. Had much better ghost tours in other cities for less than half the price. It was so bad I'm considering trying to get my money back .

Terrible communications - We followed the instructions as per tickets on where to meet but no one turned up, I called the number, no response and have messaged the company for an explanation but again no response. On further research after we missed the tour, we discovered that we were given the wrong meeting point on our tickets, leaving us very disappointed, wasted money and the tour company cannot even be bothered to respond to my messages.
