This was a very cool...

This was a very cool experience! Our guide took us to great spots and told the stories in very captivating ways. We even got to use these ghost tools as a hands on experience. Not a lot of walking, very nice. Thank you

Shopping near Trevi is amazing. I've been there 11 times and this year will be 12. Stay at Harry's Bar Trevi. Best 5 star next to Trevi

Excelent night walk in Rome

This walk is amazing. Our gide, Karin told excitingly gruesome stories and showed us spots in Rome, which otherwise we would not notice.

We have done haunted...

We have done haunted tours in other cities and they are hit-or-miss. This was definitely a hit! Our guide, Ali, was very informative and engaging. Whether you believe in paranormal things or not - a good haunted tour should still be exciting with historical information and macabre stories. This tour definitely fit the bill. Totally recommend for anyone who enjoys spooky stories and unique historical anecdotes. From a practical standpoint, the tour was easy to find, great communication from the company and guide, and the walk was very doable. Thanks, Ali - we had a fantastic time!!

One of my highlights

Myself and my fiancée loved this! We made the booking at the last minute whilst waiting for our flight and we are so glad that we did. We were greeted by Karen and informed that we were the only ones on this tour which was a really positive surprise for us, normally tours cancel if the experience is not filled! Karen was a great storyteller and took us on an enjoyable walking tour across some locations and had either an interesting piece of history or horror to divulge, but all of it linking to each other! This experience is great for those who love history, walking, and morbid tales of the dead. It was one of two major highlights of the trip for us and we would love to do it again!

Haunted Rome was so cool!!!

Karen was hands down the BEST tour guide we’ve had so far, truly deserving of the highest recommendation! From the moment we met her, she was kind, caring, and incredibly engaging. She didn’t just guide us through the haunted side of Rome, she brought every story to life in such a fun and captivating way. What really stood out was how helpful she was beyond the tour itself. Karen happily shared tips, history, and recommendations about all of Rome, not just the haunted spots, which made the whole experience even more valuable. If you’re lucky enough to get Karen as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable night. Absolutely loved every second!
