The OG Rome Ghost Tour! - Fantastic tour!! Our guide was the founder of Dark Side City Tours and if it hadn't been our last night in Rome, we would have absolutely taken another one of his tours. The whole experience was filled with detailed, fascinating stories sprinkled with humor and haunting elements throughout. We recommended this to every other tourist we talked to!

Amazing tour - Ivana Stockholm is a legend herself! What a brilliant tour. She is so knowledgeable and engaging and really draws you back to Ancient Rome very much at ‘the crack of dawn!’ Fantastic tour, amazing facts, captivating stories. You’ll walk away humbled by this incredible city with a wealth of knowledge from a fantastic guide! Thank you Ivana!

Worth the money - Our guide Ivana was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable about the history of not only Rome but the not-so-savoury parts of the city’s history. She was also incredibly funny with very tasteful jokes.

Top notch facts and entertainment - This tour was both incredibly entertaining and also horrifying in the actually historical facts. The characters being spoken about were brought to life by our charismatic guide, Arielle Kalin.....10/10

Best way to end a holiday in Rome - This tour was outstanding, the tour guide Arielle has a huge knowledge of some of the lesser known (or darker) history of Rome. It wound through streets most tourists would never see. We can't think of a better way to wind up our trip to Rome than to take this tour. 10 out of 5 stars!
