About this tour
Stack two separate 2-hour evening walks through Rome's shadier chapters: the Capuchin Crypts with its 3,500 skeletal arrangements, and a ghost-focused ramble through backstreets tied to executions, poisonings and supernatural sightings. Book both and save, then choose to run them back-to-back with a break or across different nights. Entrance to the crypts included. Suitable for curious adults of any fitness level.
Highlights
- Capuchin Crypts: 3,500 skeletons arranged in deliberate patterns
- WWII history embedded in Rome's central streets
- Trevi Fountain reimagined through darker historical lens
- Ghost tales of a magician Count and executed scientist
- Female Pope legend haunting a medieval bridge
- Backstreet stories of poisoners and executioners
What to expect
Each tour runs two hours. The crypt walk takes you underground to see how Capuchin monks arranged bones into symbolic displays, with guides explaining the reasoning behind this 17th-century practice. The second outing happens at night, moving through quieter quarters whilst your guide recounts documented executions, unsolved deaths and persistent ghost reports tied to specific locations. Both tours involve steady walking on uneven ground. You'll navigate between stops at your own pace, with optional breaks for food or drink (at your own cost).
Good to know
Book both tours together for a discount, then confirm with the operator whether you want a single evening (with a 1-hour gap between tours) or separate nights. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Tips aren't expected but are welcome.
