This was a neat off the beaten path tour that had a lot of cool stories. We got to see some areas we wouldn’t have otherwise seen and hear some neat stories. It was nice to be in the evening outside of the heat of the day.

Our guide was great, and we explored Rome like never before. Streets and piazzas that you would normally walk right past, we stopped at to learn the vast and dark history of.

This tour was very lively, fun, and quite informative! Our guide Antonio had a great energy and enthusiasm that added to the positivity of our experience. He had great stories and was able to answer any and all questions we had. We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rome looking for a cool experience.

Great story teller. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Motivated to learn and read more. I would do this again or at least check out the locations more carefully on my own.

Our guide Maham was fantastic! She brought Rome's dark history to life with captivating storytelling. Walking through Castel Sant'Angelo and across Ponte Sant'Angelo at night was genuinely spine-tingling.
Maham perfectly balanced spooky stories with historical facts, and the interactive elements made it engaging throughout. The 8:30 PM start was perfect for atmospheric darkness.
Whether you're a skeptic or believer, this tour shows you a completely different side of Rome. Highly recommend - and ask for Maham as your guide!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

This was the most unique tour I’ve ever experienced. My 11 year old son and I enjoyed Antonio’s tales of Rome. History is one of my favorite subjects, I’ve taken many historical tours in Rome over the years and I still learned a lot on this one. My son adored Antonio and chatted with him as we went from stop to stop. Antonio showed immense kindness interacting with a very curious child that some could have been annoyed by. And if he was annoyed, he did not show it. Without question, I would choose another tour that he led.
It wasn’t all ghost stories but a collection of tales that took place in the early days of Rome. We walked around to various buildings that have been repurposed, are remarkable in some way and have a curious history. We walked around 3000 steps (according to my Apple Watch) in two hours with no significant inclines or declines. Throughout the night, we received references to research more about the subjects of the tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your son enjoyed such a unique evening with Antonio. It’s lovely to hear his kindness and engaging storytelling made the experience so special, and that you both learned something new. We truly appreciate your kind words!
traci_c, Apr 2026
The best tour! Our guide Mayham was great. The tour walks you in areas you'd probably not go to and shares the tales. Nothing to scary if you have kids along. Definitely would recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Maham and discovering parts of Rome you might not otherwise visit. It’s wonderful to hear the stories were fun for all ages. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Tracy_O, Apr 2026
More of a night time history tour than a ghost tour. My 15 year old was actually bored. Disappointed
Hellen_D, Apr 2026
Our guide (Dominique) was very knowledgeable, friendly and chatty, the walk was very interesting and informative. I’d have given 5 stars if it had included more ghost stories, I’d say it was more about legends and crime stories than it was about ghosts.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Dominique and appreciated her knowledge and friendly style. We also value your feedback and will keep it in mind as we improve the experience. Hope to welcome you again soon!
Tricia_M, Apr 2026
Gruesome tales of historical Rome. A truly captivating and educational tour by our tour guide. A young man (Simon I believe. If not, apologies.) who took us on a dark journey through the streets of this intoxicating city with tales of death, deception, execution and witches but to name a few. Stories that leave a lasting impression!
