# Rome Night Walking Tour: Ghosts, Legends & Haunted Rome

**Guidekin's take:** A ghost walk with props: a ghost hunter kit, a certificate of survival and a guide who takes the chapel of human bones and the haunted squares as seriously as the jokes, rated 4.92 across 723 reviews. Kit, guide and the storytelling are included at €29 per person. A private after dark version exists, and it is not for small children.

**Ghosts at night:** For ghosts, book Rome Ghost Tour by Night: guide and ghost hunter kit, not for small children, rated 4.92 from 723 reviews at €29 per person. Trade-off: Not for small children. (last checked September 13, 2026)

## Overview

Explore the darker side of the Eternal City on a haunted walking tour by moonlight. After this tour, you’ll never see the city’s most famous squares, churches and bridges in the same way again. Armed with an interactive "Ghost Hunter Kit", you and a group of fellow thrill seekers will learn the secrets of how to spot Rome's most famous ghosts.

You'll follow an expert ghostie guide on a haunted route of Rome's historic centre, where you'll discover a chapel decorated with human bones, a bridge long lined with corpses, and other horrifying sights that will keep you up late at night. 

At each stop, an expert ghostie guide will tell you eerie tales of ghosts, ghastly murders, and chilling executions involving infamous popes, emperors, and even artists. We'll bring paranormal Rome to life through morbid storytelling and chilling video recreations, and when the tour's over, you'll receive a "certificate of survival"...if you survive, of course.
