    Our guide (Dominique) was...

    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.

    Gruesome tales of historical Rome!

    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!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you found the tour captivating and memorable. It’s great to hear the stories left such a lasting impression—we truly appreciate your feedback!

    Great story telling about the darker side of Rome

    Keith_f, Mar 2026
    I would definitely recommend this tour. Maham our guide made this perhaps the best tour I've taken in 3 trips to Rome. She is a natural story teller, warm, and engaging. She gave us a challenge along the way which was quite fun, all the while sharing the darker side of Rome's history. Afterwards you'll view the Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge a bit differently. Cheers.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Keith, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Maham made this one of your best tours across three trips to Rome — that truly means a lot. 👻 Her storytelling, warmth, and fun challenges really do bring the darker side of Rome to life, and we love that you’ll never look at Ponte Sant’Angelo the same way again! Cheers, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience soon!

    We had a great time on this tour thanks to our fun and knowledgeable guide. We learned many spicy stories and saw Rome through a different lens. I wish our guide could stay with us for our entire stay in Rome.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thanks Shavon! So glad you had a great time on the haunted tour and enjoyed the fun, knowledgeable guide. 👻🏛️ Sounds like a spooky and memorable way to see Rome!

    Our tour guide was...

    Natalie_M, Feb 2026
    Our tour guide was amazing! My family has been to Rome many, many times and we have spent time in campo dei Fiori and never knew the history behind it. She was informative, interesting and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend this tour to everyone I know, but only with the exact same tour guide! I can’t remember her name but she was tall and had a great personality!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hi Natalie, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you discovered new stories about Rome and had such a great time with your guide. 👻 We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!

    Excellent tour

    Wendy_S, Feb 2026
    One of the best walking tours I've taken. Super interesting, packed with history, and entertaining without being campy. Youssef was a great guide.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hi Wendy! Thanks for the fantastic review — we’re so glad you enjoyed the spooky stories, rich history, and Youssef’s guidance. Awesome to hear it was one of your best walking tours!

    My teenagers loved it

    Aimee_C, Jan 2026
    I booked this tour for myself and two teenage daughters. It was really great! Our tour guide was really knowledgeable, walking us through the streets of Rome at night. There were so many things she explained and pointed out that I would never have noticed. It was more historical spooky stories rather than ghost stories. we were afraid it was going to be cheesy but it was not. It was nice to walk around after dinner exploring apart of the city not on your typical tour.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you, Aimee! We’re so glad you and your daughters enjoyed the haunted tour and discovered parts of Rome you wouldn’t normally see. Happy to hear it was both spooky and historically fascinating!

    Perfect walking tour

    Michelle_P, Jan 2026

    Nice but crowed group

    courtneyab82, Jan 2026
    Tour was okay, guide was extremely hard to hear and understand. I would recommend this company get headphones for guest to hear the guides as road noise and other guest aren’t always quite.

    Let me start by saying our guide Ana was awesome! Such great energy for such a fun (scary) tour! The tour was very interesting. We stopped at a number of places of historical importance to the city. Ghosts or not, the information makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up!! If you do this in the colder months, bundle up!!!
