Overview
With over 2000 years of history, it’s no wonder that Rome is one of the most haunted places in Europe. On this Rome Ghost Tour, you’ll join a small group of curious thrill-seekers and set out to uncover the stories that refuse to stay buried.
Equipped with your interactive Ghost Hunter Kit, you won’t just listen, you’ll learn how to recognise the signs and follow the clues to spot a ghost before it spots you.
Your local guide will take you on a haunted walk of Rome's historic centre, stopping at places most people hurry past: a chapel decorated with human bones, a bridge once used to display the dead, and corners of the city where things didn’t end well… for anyone.
Along the way, you’ll hear tales of murder, mystery, and revenge brought to life with vivid storytelling and eerie videos that'll make the past feel a little too close for comfort.
Survive the night, and you’ll be rewarded with a Certificate of Survival. If you make it to the end of course.
