Guidekin's take

The original ghost tour of the city: dowsing rods to hunt for spirits, heretics and witches burned in the piazzas, the ghosts of Caesar and Nero and the crimes of the worst popes, in groups capped at fifteen for a séance feel.

Guide and rods are included at €29 per person, food and tips are not. Fully wheelchair accessible, and it runs in any weather.

In our comparison: #55 of 56 in Night Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
