Along the way, you’ll hear tales of murder, mystery, and revenge brought to life with vivid storytelling and eerie videos that'll make the past feel a little too close for comfort. Survive the night, and you’ll be rewarded with a Certificate of Survival. If you make it to the end of course.

Great haunted for of old Rome
A great way to explore old Rome on our first night. Exploring ancient streets and learning about the haunts, serial killers and superstitions built into some of these old buildings. Ana was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. She kept my attention engaged with a scavenger hunt for Madonnellas. Thanks Ana!

Still sceptic
Great guide! Really into it. But I'm still sceptic haha! Sorry! It's a short walk with lots of information. Best to do it at night, obviously..

Thriller
Great and fun tour. Mahn was exceptional and very pretty. I could listen to her stories all night. I did have a little trouble hearing at different points during the tour.

We appreciate your feedback about the volume and will keep it in mind to help improve future tours. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €15 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 Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour 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 Rome is not rushed.
Is Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 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 Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
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 Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour 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 Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
Around 17 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour 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 Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
Included: Guided Haunted Walking Tour of historic sites; Immersive tour experience with paranormal video recreations; Certificate of Survival; Ghost-loving, local tour guide; and Interactive "Ghost Hunter Kit". Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
Our guide will be waiting at Campo de' Fiori, beneath the statue of Giordano Bruno, holding a yellow Carpe Diem Tours flag or sign. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
+
Across 49 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
What booking options are available for Haunted Rome: Eternal City Night Walking Tour?
