Description

**AirBnB Award Winning Tour**

Step into Rome’s darker past on the city’s original and award-winning ghost tour. This isn’t about gimmicks or jump scares — it’s about true stories of murder, betrayal, and restless spirits told by professional storytellers who know how to bring the Eternal City’s shadows to life.

As night falls, we’ll leave the crowds behind and explore the eerie backstreets of central Rome. Hear the tragic tale of philosopher Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake in Campo de’ Fiori. Learn how a powerful noblewoman still haunts Vatican legends - and Rome's streets. And discover the sinister secrets of poisoners, mystics, and restless popes who never quite left this world.

We’ll visit a chilling church filled with macabre sculptures and uncover centuries of scandal hiding behind the city’s beauty. From haunted bridges to execution sites, you’ll get a new perspective on Rome — one the history books often leave out.

Led by expert guides with a sharp wit and a love of the morbid, this tour is perfect for fans of true crime, ghost stories, and the villain’s side of history. If you’re looking for something different — something real — join us for a night you won’t forget.
