Join our Award Winning Rome Ghost Tour and explore the hidden history of the Eternal City. Led by expert storytellers, we’ll take you through alleys and piazzas where chilling tales of murder, betrayal, and restless spirits come to life. This is the original haunted tour of Rome — spooky, smart, and unforgettable.
Every city has a dark side — and in a place as ancient as Rome, it runs deep. On our Rome Ghost Tour, you’ll step into a world where ancient shadows come alive — where stories of vengeful spirits, chilling murders, and grisly executions unfold around every corner.
Join us for an atmospheric night walk through the eerie backstreets of the Eternal City. As you pass through hidden alleys, you’ll hear spine-tingling tales that expose Rome’s most sinister secrets. This is more than a walking tour — it’s a journey into the city’s haunted history, led by our award-winning storytelling guides.
As you make your way through the labyrinthine streets, you’ll encounter the tragic fate of Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake by the Inquisition; the ghostly legend of Donna Olimpia, a powerful woman whose influence haunted the Vatican; and the mysterious world of Alessandro Cagliostro, an alchemist and mystic shrouded in scandal.
You’ll visit an eerie church where macabre sculptures reflect a chilling obsession with death, and learn of Popes, poisoners, and other tales to send shivers down your spine.
This is the Rome Ghost Tour for those who want real stories, real chills — and a night they won’t forget.
We don’t wear capes or jump out from behind corners. What we offer is something far more powerful — a walk through the true, dark history of Rome, told by people who know how to bring it to life.
