- Caffe Peru’ - Stop at a haunted square, where a couple of professional poisoners helped hundreds of women kill their husbands.
- Via Giulia - Walk down an ancient street built to allow the Pope to visit his mistresses in peace.
- Chiesa di Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte - Stop at the head church of the brotherhood of Death. This is the place where thousands of bodies collected from the streets of Rome were buried.
- Fontana del Mascherone - The exact place from which John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in the 1970s, and still haunted by his ghost.
- Piazza Farnese - Built by one of the filthiest families of Rome, Piazza Farnese and the palace are breathtakingly dark.

Interesting and fun - We booked the visit in English by mistake (mine), but the Guide was very good at involving everyone (the level of English required is quite low, not because the Guide is not capable though!). The journey was quite long and interesting and it was fun to share it with other tourists.

Great ghost/history tour - Our guide was very friendly and entertaining. We try to do ghost tours when we travel to hear great stories and folklore. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour by Sonia - Sonia was fantastic! Tons of great, intriguing, and disturbing historical facts. All woven into communicating with spirits. This is more of a historical tour (which is what I wanted). Also if you want the ghost part, you’ll be satisfied also. Just a great all around tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Would definitely go again! - Eloise did a fantastic job of giving the history in a really fun manner! Every stop had a ghostly element! We used dousing rods to talk to one of the ghosts! She had pictures and overall did an amazing job! Very enjoyable!!

Guillaume was a great guide! - Guillaume was very nice and informative. He was an excellent guide. He was very considerate of the clients, waiting a good amount of time for late comers while still introducing the group to the topic at hand. He also asked several times if everyone could hear. He was good at engaging clients and even made a game out of looking for the historical art and connected it to the stories. The stories were more dark history of the area and less ghost stories. All very informative and interesting.

Cool, but not haunted - Our guide was very enthusiastic and kind. The tour was interesting, learned a lot, but it really should not be called a haunted ghost tour. That is very misleading. It’s a great activity to do in the evening and offers cool stories you don’t usually hear on a regular tour, but haunted it is not.

Sorry what did you say? - Guide was enthusiastic but very softly spoken. He acknowledged this at the start and said to ask him to speak louder if needed, which someone did, but he continued to talk very quietly throughout in areas with a lot of background noise so it was difficult to hear a lot of what was said. Tour also finished around 30mins earlier than advertised.

Boring - This isn’t really a haunted tour.. mostly just talked about crime way back when. We did not go to any haunted places. It wasn’t that interesting.. I found myself spacing out and not following

Nice guide; boring tour and not “haunted” - Our guide was sweet. The tour is a joke. Nothing scary or really interesting about it. Just a 2 hour walk around a neighborhood at night stopping at a few churches. Saw nothing unusual or scary. Save the time and $$.
