Tour description

Rome may be one of the world’s most beautiful cities — but when night falls, its darker side begins to whisper from the shadows. Behind the romantic facades lie stories of betrayal, execution, and chilling superstition. On this ghostly walking tour, you’ll meet the spirits of popes, emperors, heretics, and executioners whose lives ended in blood, fire, or mystery. 

 

We begin at the haunting Campo de’ Fiori, where the statue of Giordano Bruno stands watch — a brilliant thinker whose fate was sealed by the Inquisition. From there, we wind through Rome’s eeriest corners: 

🔹 Creep through forgotten medieval alleys 

🔹 Step into the secret world of a shadowy order of monks 

🔹 Discover the childhood home of a feared executioner 

🔹 Hear tales of a deadly perfume shop where beauty became fatal 

🔹 Stand at the gates of one of Rome’s most notorious prisons 

 

If you’re ready for the spine-chilling side of Roman history — packed with strange legends, dark secrets, and real horrors — this walk is for you. 

 

Not suitable for the faint of heart… or those who prefer their history sugar-coated.
