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

Step inside a chapel where 3,700 skeletons have been arranged into patterns so precise you start wondering how long they spent on the “bone clock” alone. Skulls grin from the walls. Vertebrae bloom into rosettes. It’s art. It’s devotion. It’s also the world’s most unsettling interior design choice.

We start here, among the dearly (and decoratively) departed. Then it’s out into the streets as night settles in, because Rome doesn’t exactly get less weird after dark.

Your guide will lead you through a side of the city you won’t find on a postcard:

• A doomed love story still haunting the Trevi Fountain
• A noblewoman whose ghostly handprint won’t scrub off, no matter how many centuries pass
• A butcher’s shop with more connection to the missing persons list than the menu
• The site of a wartime massacre that left scars you can still feel

Yes, we’ll pass the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona, but we’re here for the ghosts, the betrayals, and the quiet tragedies clinging to the stones.

No gimmicks. No rubber axes. No one leaping from behind a column yelling “boo” (unless it’s an accident). Just true stories, uneasy silences, and guides who know exactly where Rome hides the bodies - metaphorically speaking.

If you want the glossy, romantic version of the city, stick to the postcards. If you want the stories that never got their happily‑ever‑afters, 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.
