About this tour
As evening settles over the Eternal City, Rome’s bridges, piazzas, and narrow streets take on a darker mood. On this 90-minute Rome Ghost Tour, hear stories of spirits said to linger where heretics and witches were executed, murdered, or burned alive. Your guide brings the city’s eerie history to life, with tales connected to Julius Caesar, Emperor Nero, and some of Rome’s most notorious popes.
Follow your guide through the after-dark atmosphere and try ghost hunting yourself with dowsing rods provided for the experience. A group of 15 people or fewer keeps the walk intimate and helps set the scene for the stories. Meet at Ponte Sant’Angelo, in front of Castel Sant’Angelo, and look for the MORE OF ROME sign. Check-in starts 15 minutes before departure, so arrive on time.
Discover a different side of the city on this Rome Ghost Tour, and bring your curiosity for an evening of chilling tales and hands-on ghost hunting.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.69 from 700 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.1.
