Something different to do in Rome - I wouldn't say we are hard core history buffs, but we really liked hearing the history behind the stories and the buildings on this tour. We walked across the bridge to get to the meeting point and after the tour had a whole new appreciation of the bridge. Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you. Our tour guide was funny and sassy, which we appreciated. You won't see anything scary. You will just hear about some crazy stories (folklore??) of events in the past and how today's Rome had adopted these tails into the modern day. If you are looking for something to do for a couple hours in the evening that isn't the typical touristy stuff, do this tour.

Great stories. The women’s prison story is haunting, - Elvira was our guide. Prompt and attentive. Good story teller. I found the story of the women’s prison quite haunting. Certainly worth a bit of your time. We were able to get a cab at the end of the tour with no problem.

There was so much history... - There was so much history that we learned! I’ve been on many ghost tours, but I never got the background information for the stories like I did on this tour. It was very interesting, and I highly recommend.

Outstanding Tour and Guide!! - Starting from Castel Sant’Angelo our guide Clara led us on a fantastic tour of the darker side of Rome with some really interesting and grim stories of some of the more bloody events! Clara was amazing - extremely knowledgeable and very personable, the tour passed by so quickly and I think this was due to how engaging she was! My daughter loved her so much she decided to walk most of the way with Clara and not us. Can’t recommend this tour enough - enjoyed by Mum and Dad but especially our nine year old!!

More than a Ghost Tour - Our guide Sama was exceptional! A gifted storyteller with deep knowledge of Rome, drawing on her expertise as an art history scholar to add new dimensions to her ghost stories. The best part was Sama's knowledge of the little details of the Roman streets that are so easily overlooked by the casual tourist. Would highly recommend.

Family visit. - Pretty good tour, the kids enjoyed it. The host spoke good English and was pleasant. I'd recommend it for sure. Wear comfortable shoes because it is a long walk.
