Why choose this Rome tour ?

Guided by captivating, award winning storytellers, offering a blend of the macabre and the magical, uncover the Eternal City through spine-chilling tales.

Begin your journey at the Capuchin Crypt, where the line between art and mortality blurs in a silent meditation on life and death. Find out why this place is home to over 3,700 skeletons, with bones decorating the walls and the ceilings.

As the twilight deepens, head to Rome’s historic center, where each cobblestone has a dark tale. Feel a ghostly aura near the Trevi Fountain, a tragic love entwined with eternal longing, and tread softly by the Pantheon, where a gruesome tale is said to have inspired the tale of Sweeney Todd.

Then, follow your guide through the site of a WWII event that shadows the city’s streets, hinting at the spectral handprint of a noblewoman with a tragic end. These stories, each a piece of Rome’s heart, are told with a reverence for the past and a flair for the dramatic.
