Piazza Del Duomo
Standing beneath the towering Cupola del Brunelleschi, you’ll uncover the hidden side of Florence’s most iconic landmark. More than an architectural miracle, the dome is believed to be a cosmic machine, rich in esoteric and alchemical symbolism. Built without scaffolding, guided by secret geometry and proportions tied to the divine, it has long been whispered that Brunelleschi was not only an architect — but an initiate of occult knowledge. Some say the dome’s eight ribs echo the path of spiritual rebirth; others believe it hides encrypted messages, sigils, and stellar alignments. As twilight deepens over Piazza del Duomo, you’ll never look at it the same way again.

Via del Proconsolo
In this narrow Florentine street once frequented by apothecaries, you’ll hear the chilling tale of Antonia da Castello, a young herbalist accused of witchcraft in 1481. She was said to prepare unguenti del Diavolo — devil’s ointments — potent salves whispered to allow flight, summon spirits, or steal the soul of a sleeping man. Arrested by the Inquisition, Antonia confessed under torture to nighttime rituals, strange visions, and speaking with shadows. But some say her knowledge was ancient, not evil — passed down from wise women before her. As we walk past the old prison walls, her fate becomes a haunting echo of Florence’s obsession with control, purity… and fear of feminine power.
15 minutes here
Piazza della Signoria
Visit Piazza della Signoria and uncover the dramatic story of Girolamo Savonarola, the fiery Dominican friar who challenged the power, luxury, and corruption of Renaissance Florence. In the very square where he once preached to the crowds, learn how his rise and fall left a lasting mark on the city’s history.
15 minutes here
End the experience with a sweeter note with a traditional tasting of cantucci and Vin Santo, a classic Tuscan pairing that offers the perfect final contrast to the city’s darker history.

Gabriel did a really nice...
Gabriel did a really nice job telling us some lesser-known history about Florence and telling some spooky stories. He was very funny and we enjoyed our time with him!
via Viator
Meh - Ghosts and Crime Tour
The guide was kind and friendly - but this was hyped as a walking tour with lots of stories. There really weren't many stories and the ones we heard lacked any animation or the drama or interest that the history of Florence should inspire. The food & wine were good.
via Viator
Great tour with Gabriel!
Gabriel was a great guide through the streets and past of Florence. He was fun, knowledgeable and very knowledgeable! Great tour and worth the time!

Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine cost?
+
Prices start at €29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Ghost & Crime Tour: Legends Murders with Tastings & Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
