Description
Discover the dark side of Rome on two guided walking tours conducted by knowledgeable and captivating storytellers. Be led into the heart of darkness, where the shadows of history dance with the flickering street lamps of Rome.
PLEASE NOTE: These tours are both 2 hours long, with the option to take both in the same evening with an hour break in between, or on separate evenings. Our team will be in touch when you book to find out your preference.
Delve into one of Rome’s most unique attractions at the Capuchin Crypts, home to an estimated 3,500 skeletons – some still standing and dressed, while some are recycled as decoration. Discover the hidden symbolism behind this rather macabre but fascinating spectacle. The tour then delves into the dark stories that linger in Rome’s city centre, from tragic Second World War events to the ghostly legends at some of Rome’s major highlights. You’ll discover the supposed inspiration for Sweeney Todd, and never look at the Trevi Fountain the same way again.
Next, embark on the dark side tour, a night-time stroll that could leave you chilled or amused, but definitely fascinated. Hear tales that include the execution of one of history’s best scientific minds, and try and spot the ghost of a Count who cavorted with Marie Antoinette.
Learn the incredible story of a woman known as ‘the female Pope’, who is said to haunt the bridge you’ll stand on. From the house of a notorious poisoner to a church with a rather macabre story to go with it’s grim decoration, explore the backstreets of the city, where you will discover the stories of a completely different side of Rome.
- These tours takes place rain or shine
- The tours can be taken on the same evening or on different days
- Please note in the Capuchin Crypts, shoulders and knees must be covered. If you do not have a covering, one can be purchased for €1 on site.
