What To Expect

Uncover the darker side of Ancient Rome on this ghost-filled walking tour through the city’s bloodstained past.

From the assassination of Julius Caesar to haunted imperial palaces and cursed streets, you’ll explore the stories history books prefer to forget.

Hear of emperors murdered by their own guards, empresses executed in scandal, and traitors left to rot on the Gemonian Steps.

Walk through the old Suburra — once home to brothels and riots — and end with a chilling view of the Colosseum, where death became public entertainment.

Led by expert storytellers, this tour blends real history with eerie legends from Roman writers and ancient accounts. It’s not about costumes or gimmicks — just strange tales, violent ends, and the lingering presence of the past.

If you’re looking for a Rome ghost tour that’s smart, spooky, and steeped in truth, this is it.
