Highlights & Description

Highlights

  • Explore the Capuchin Crypt - over 3,700 skeletons, no subtlety.
  • Ghosts, murderers, and guides who know where the bodies are buried.
  • Rome’s famous sights - minus the sugarcoating.
  • Small groups (max 10). Close enough to feel the shivers.
  • No costumes. No fakery. Just death, scandal, and all the chilling stories.

Description

Some people decorate with flowers. The Capuchins preferred bones.

Step inside a chapel where 3,700 skeletons have been carefully - and unsettlingly - arranged into patterns that feel a little too intentional. Skulls grin from the walls. Vertebrae form rosettes. Time ticks away on a clock made entirely of bones. It’s art. It’s devotion. It’s a very direct message.

We start here, among the dead, where beauty and discomfort quietly collide.

Then it’s out into the streets as night closes in - but Rome doesn’t get less strange after dark.

You’ll hear about a doomed love story that refuses to fade near the Trevi Fountain. A noblewoman whose handprint may still linger centuries after her death. A butcher’s shop tied less to sausages and more to the missing persons list. And we’ll stand where a wartime massacre left scars that the city still carries.

We'll visit some of Rome’s most iconic sites. The Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona - they’re on every postcard. But we'll show you what most guidebooks and tours leave out - the ghosts, betrayals, and quiet tragedies still clinging to the stones.

No gimmicks. No cheap scares. No one leaping out with a rubber axe. Just true stories, uneasy silences, and the kind of guide who knows exactly where Rome keeps its secrets.

If you’re looking for the neat, romantic version of the city, stay on the postcards. If you want the stories that never really ended - you’ll fit right in.

Good to know before you go
  • This tour runs rain or shine - ghosts aren’t picky about the weather.
  • In the Capuchin Crypt, shoulders and knees must be covered. Modesty is required; the skeletons insist. If you forget, coverings can be bought on site for €1 - a small price to avoid eternal side-eye.
