    What you'll see and do

    1. Centro Storico

      Your ghost tour of Rome will start with the dark tale of people executed for crimes they didn’t commit and the dungeons inside the Papal fortress. The tour continues along the dark streets away from the tourist track, to the piazzas that witnessed some of the most horrible crimes in history. Walk around the residence of a serial killer who poisoned over 600 men and learn about an executioner who executed half a thousand people over a long, 65-year career. Stop at the ancient prison where hundreds of women were tortured and executed and learn about the tools used to put people to death. Walk the street built to allow Pope Julius to visit his mistresses in privacy, and see the head-church of the Brotherhood of Death. Follow your passionate guide to the piazza without churches and from there to the place where thousands were burned alive.

    Sometimes, the dead speak back.

    Couldn’t say enough great thinsgs about Rebecca and our tour. Having been on the Coleseum tour with our kids the day before everyone found this tour fun, interesting, SPOOKY!, and fresh. The mix of stories and history while walking astound the neighborhood was delightful. Definitely our favorite tour of the trip thus far. Rebecca also brought downing rods to speak to the departed.

    Fun ghost tour of Rome

    Fun and interesting ghost tour. Karen did a great job. The history, stories, divining of spirits, etc were very good, as was Karen’s English.

    So glad I went....even with sore feet!

    Rebecca was such a fun and informative guide. Although we had had a full day of sightseeing, Im glad my tired feet didn't stop me from going! What a great tour (and worth putting my sore feet through it!)

    Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

    How much does Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Rome is not rushed.

    Is Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 68 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk?

    +

    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 Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk?

    +

    Around 24 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 Rome 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 Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk 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 Rome 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 Rome?

    +

    Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. 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 Rome?

    +

    April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. 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 Rome?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk?

    Included: Local story-teller guide to keep you on the edge of your seat; Instant confirmation to give you peace of mind; To make communication easier, you will receive name and number of your guide; Dowsing rods to make your experience truly interactive; and Small-group (15 people or less) of like-minded travelers.

    +

    Meet your guide between the end of Ponte Sant’Angelo Bridge and Castel Sant’Angelo Castle. Your guide will be holding a “MORE OF ROME” sign. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Ghosts and Crimes of Rome Night Walk offered in?

    +
