Overview
Step into Rome’s darker side on a Private Ghost Tour moonlit where beauty fades and the stories get… unsettling.
Armed with your interactive Ghost Hunter Kit, you and your private group of fellow thrill-seekers won’t just hear about Rome’s most famous spirits, you’ll learn how to spot them.
Your passionate ghostie guide will let you in on local lore and take you on a haunted route through the historic centre, where you'll uncover a chapel lined with human bones, a bridge once displayed with corpses, and other haunted sights best experienced after dark.
At each stop, expect tales of ghostly encounters, gruesome murders, and brutal executions tied to infamous popes, emperors, and artists. With eerie storytelling and chilling video recreations, we'll bring Rome's dark past to life, and you'll never be able to see the city the same way again.
Make it to the end, and you’ll earn a Certificate of Survival. Assuming, of course… you make it.
