Tour Details

As the sun sets over Rome a new city comes to light – a city of legends and mystery, where thousands of years have left a story behind every stone. Having survived the Middle Ages and the Inquisition, the stories Rome has to tell are far from the average bedtime tale. Fraught with murder, execution and haunting, these tales will give you the chills. Join a nighttime adventure that leaves no stone unturned.

You'll be told all about the unseen history behind the buildings of central Rome. With the company of an expert, English-speaking storyteller, you’ll traverse the Tiber and wander through piazzas. You’ll see the house of the most notorious (and empathetic) murderer ever to work in the Eternal City and visit the bridge that – legend has it – is haunted by the ghost of the female Pope.
