Overview

The tour begins on foot at Rome’s St. Angelo Bridge, a site once used for public executions. From there, the group moves along Via dei Banchi Vecchi, a narrow and shadowed street known for its eerie atmosphere. The walk continues to Caffe Peru', a haunted square linked to professional poisoners who assisted women in murdering their husbands. Next is Via Giulia, a street historically built for papal visits to mistresses. The route includes a stop at Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte, the main church of the brotherhood of Death where many bodies collected from Rome’s streets were buried. Then the group visits Fontana del Mascherone, known as the kidnapping site of John Paul Getty III in the 1970s and said to be haunted. A 10-minute stop is made at Piazza Farnese, constructed by a family infamous in Rome for corruption, noted for its dark history and architecture. The final stop is Campo De' Fiori, where up to 15 minutes are spent at the square where thousands of witches and heretics were burned alive, with ghost stories shared by the guide. This walking tour lasts about 90 minutes and includes a guide who provides dowsing rods for ghost hunting along the route. The group size is limited to 15 people or fewer to maintain an intimate atmosphere. The guide shares true ghost stories about figures such as Julius Caesar, Emperor Nero, and notorious Popes. Communication is supported by providing the guide's name and contact number. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included.
