WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
Rome Ghost Tour Highlights
A Rome ghosts and legends tour through burned philosophers, haunted bridges, poisoners, executioners, papal scandals, and the kind of Renaissance politics that make modern scandals look under-researched.
Campo de’ Fiori
Begin beneath the statue of Giordano Bruno, the philosopher burned alive by the Roman Inquisition. Lovely start. Very Rome.
Ponte Sisto
Hear the legend of La Papessa, the feared power broker of papal Rome whose ghost is said to race across the bridge in a flaming carriage.
Via Giulia
Discover the macabre church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte and Rome’s long obsession with death, burial, and restless souls.
The Borgias
Stories of poison, power, sex, murder, and Renaissance politics - basically Succession, but with more cardinals.
Giulia Tofana
Meet Rome’s legendary poisoner, whose deadly Aqua Tofana became the whispered solution to many unhappy marriages.
Mastro Titta
Enter the world of Rome’s most infamous executioner, the man who sent hundreds to their deaths and allegedly still haunts the city.
