Awesome tour and very...

Adele_P, Mar 2026
Awesome tour and very informative! Felt like we saw so much a of the city and learned so much. Ben has so much knowledge of the city and gave us plenty of recommendations for outside of the tour. Do keep in mind if you do the combo tour it is ~4 hours of walking, so dress comfortably, but totally worth it!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you, Adele! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Capuchin Crypts Tour & Rome’s Dark Side Ghost Tour. It can be a long walk, but then so is most worthwhile suffering. We’re delighted Ben could make those four hours feel worth it with plenty of history, a solid stretch of the city, and a few recommendations for after the tour. Rome does reward comfortable shoes, and a mild tolerance for bones, ghosts, and historical bad behaviour.

Delightfully Macabre

Echo_F, Nov 2025
We got to do this on Halloween and had a fantastic time! Ben seemed to know all the city's dirty little secrets.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you, Echo-Dawn! Halloween in Rome is the perfect time to uncover its dirty little secrets! We’re delighted you enjoyed spending the night with Ben and our two most delightfully macabre tours. The spirits were certainly in good company that evening…

Never a dull moment! We Loved it!

Patricia_R, Sep 2025
Such a fun and creative way to see the city. And the Capuchin Monks-wow! We loved both our guides… they shared such unique details that most people would likely never know. And they did it with a personal touch. Thank you!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you, Patricia! We’re delighted you braved both the bones of the Capuchin monks and the ghosts of Rome’s streets. Our guides do love sharing those eerie little details most tours politely skip over. So glad you enjoyed both halves of the combo - proof there’s never a dull moment when the dead are involved.

Ivana was an amazing...

Alexandria_K, Jul 2025
Ivana was an amazing guide. We learned so much about the dark history of Rome. She made it engaging for our teenagers, which is always a win!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you, Alexandria! If Ivana can keep teenagers entertained with tales of ghostly cardinals and bone-bedecked monks, we consider that a triumph worthy of a laurel wreath (or at least a haunted high-five). We’re thrilled your family enjoyed uncovering Rome’s darker corners on our Rome Ghost Tour and Capuchin Crypts tour. Come back soon - there’s always more mischief buried beneath the cobblestones.

Excellent!

Vanessa_B, May 2025
One of the best tours we did! Alethea had great stories and took excellent care of us. The time passed so quickly as she was an excellent storyteller!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks so much, Vanessa! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on the combo tour — the hours do tend to disappear when you’re being gently dragged through centuries of murder, bones, and ghost stories. Alethea has a real gift for making the dead feel disturbingly present. Hope we see you again soon… the crypts remember their favourites

Would do again

Lee_G, May 2025
The tours were a wonderful experience and knowledgeable guides. Both were personable and gave the information both humorously and professionally. The crypts were incredibly interesting and learning how they came to be was fascinating. If you have a couple of hours, this should definitely be on your schedule

Friendly and spooky!

Sanjay_M, Apr 2025
Ivana was a fantastic host full of great knowledge of the city and local area as well as the tour information. Great tour, great host. Friendly, fun informative and spooky!

Get to know the hidden history of Rome.

Y_F, Apr 2025
This tour was fantastic. The guide was funny and entertaining. He told us history from a completely different perspective. We did this tour toward the end of our trip, so we had already seen some of the sights on different tours. I’m so glad that we went again. We saw the sights through totally new eyes. It was so much cooler to learn the personal history and lesser known facts. The tour was really well organized and researched. We also saw a lot of completely new sights. I feel like this tour helped us get to know the historical people of Rome better than any others. If you only do one tour in Rome, make it this one!

Eerily Beautiful

MaureenE_M, Mar 2025
My Mom and I did these 2 tours with our tour guide Ben. It was so interesting and amazing. Ben was very knowledgeable on the tours. The bones were eerily beautiful and the ghost tour was crazy thinking about what happened to the people in his stories.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Maureen, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your mom had such an amazing time on both tours with Ben. He truly has a gift for bringing history to life, and we’re glad you found the stories as fascinating (and eerie!) as we do! The bones and the ghostly tales certainly make for an unforgettable experience. We appreciate you choosing to explore with us, and we’d love to welcome you on another adventure in the future! Best wishes, The Dark Side City Tours Team

Learned so much! I've...

Austin_A, Mar 2025
Learned so much! I've been to Rome close to 10 times, took a class on the history of the city, spent a summer there, and I still heard things I had never heard before. Very entertaining.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Austin, Thank you so much for your review! It’s fantastic to hear that even after so many visits to Rome and studying its history, you still discovered new stories with us. That’s exactly what we aim for—bringing to life the city’s hidden and lesser-known past in an engaging way. We’re so glad you found the tours entertaining as well, and we’d love to have you join us again for more untold tales of the Eternal City. Wishing you many more exciting adventures in Rome! Best, The Dark Side City Tours Team
