Looking for something a little darker than the average Vatican tour? Our dark Rome Tours take you off the postcard path and into the shadows—where bones decorate chapels, ghosts linger near fountains, and emperors meet very messy ends. These aren’t stories you’ll find on plaques. From the haunted streets of the city centre to crypts lined with the dead, we’ll show you a side of Rome that refuses to stay buried.
Think less gelato, more ghosts. Our Dark Rome Tours explore the sinister, strange, and often forgotten stories of the Eternal City—from bone-lined crypts to haunted fountains and imperial executions.
Not in the jump-scare sense—but you may get goosebumps. Expect eerie stories, unsettling history, and the occasional chill down your spine. Don’t worry, we keep the truly terrifying bits tasteful.
That depends on the child. If they like skulls, ghosts, and stories about murder and revenge, they’ll love it. If they’re expecting Disney Rome, maybe not.
Absolutely not. Skeptics are welcome. We offer facts, legends, and expertly told tales. What you choose to believe—or not—is half the fun.
Most of our dark Rome tours run about 2 hours long, depending on the route and just how many ghosts we encounter along the way.
