Haunted Rome was so cool!!! - Karen was hands down the BEST tour guide we’ve had so far, truly deserving of the highest recommendation! From the moment we met her, she was kind, caring, and incredibly engaging. She didn’t just guide us through the haunted side of Rome, she brought every story to life in such a fun and captivating way. What really stood out was how helpful she was beyond the tour itself. Karen happily shared tips, history, and recommendations about all of Rome, not just the haunted spots, which made the whole experience even more valuable. If you’re lucky enough to get Karen as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable night. Absolutely loved every second!

Fun and interesting - Our tour was a lot of fun. We happened to be the only ones, so we got a little more personalized experience. There was a fun little interactive bit as well, without spoiling. Our guide, Lara, was great and gave it a little of her own flair. I particularly liked that two of the historical figures she spoke about had a big effect on women's history in Rome. I'd say the price is quite reasonable and would recommend it to anyone.

We enjoyed this tour with... - We enjoyed this tour with Emma. ( who was delightful) It was just the right length and great to see some of Rome at night. More of a gruesome deaths tour than a ghost tour but a very pleasant way to wile away an evening

Jan 17th 2026 - Mario was a great guide, gave us time for questions and was very enthusiastic. My mistake that we almost joined the wrong group, meeting place is clear in from of the Castel Sant Angelo. Really enjoyed trying the dowsing rods, recommended if you're into the supernatural. Will be looking up all the stories we heard, great tour 😊

You can pass on this activity - We were told to be at the location 15 minutes prior to the tour starting. We were there 30min early. At 8 minutes prior to the tour still no sight of tour guide. When he did respond to my message on WhatsApp, no direct answer other than oh perfect. When we did find Mario he had bit of an attitude. No ghost and the 2 metal sticks were only brought out once and only worked when Mario was using them. Just really bad storytelling about abused women who killed the men abusing them. Tour was a waste of 50min and money.
