A spooky experience

Published on Aug, 2024

The stories were interesting as well as spooky and set in venice at dusk you can just imagine it all happening. The guide brought everything to life with enthusiasm

Great tour and very nice guide

Published on Aug, 2024

We really liked this tour, it was well organised and Giulia was very sweet and knowledgable. The stories were sad, scary and also funny, and we saw many parts of Venice we had not seen before. Definitely recommend!

A nice way to visit and learn about the unknown parts of Venice

Published on Aug, 2024

Our tour guide was great and told us some great ghost stories. We visited some parts of Venice that we would have never known about.

Best Walking Ghost Tour!!

Published on Jul, 2024

This was honestly a fantastic experience. We were taken down lots of side streets which you would never think of exploring yourself. The stories about the plague and the plague islands was fascinating. The guide also told us about all the burial grounds scattered around Venice that churches are now build on top of. She also told us all about the abandoned palace and anyone who stayed there died a horrible death and that a girl haunts this palace. It is still abandoned to this da as no one will stay there. She told us stories about the baker boy and about the girls from wealthy families forced to become nuns so their fathers wouldn't have to give up their dowries. This was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on and I highly recommend. Thank you to our lovely guide. I unfortunately forget her name but she had blonde hair and wore glasses. She was just amazing.

Excellent
