Fun spooky stories you won’t hear on any other tour! Thanks Ben!

5.00We had an excellent time on our tour, Ben was our guide for both, and I learned so many spooky stories and facts walking through Rome, things we passed by multiple times on the trip and didn’t even notice! The crypt was so fascinating and beautiful, not at all what I expected. We aware; if you book the combo tour it is a lot of walking, so make sure you’re prepared for that. They do sell them separately too if you don’t think you can walk that long, our tour finished after 10pm. We loved it though!
Spook + History

5.00Such a fun way to kick off our first night in Rome! The guide, Arielle, was a fantastic story teller and so knowledgeable. The tour was a great combo of spook and city history. We got a little lost on our way to the tour, and she kindly caught us up once we connected with the group. Definitely suggest leaving WAY before you think you need to in Rome, just for everything.
A Hauntingly Memorable Night in Rome

5.00The Combination Capuchin Crypts and Ghost storytelling tour in Rome was an unforgettable experience and a completely unique way to see the city after dark. Our guide, Mary, was exceptional. She brought Rome to life in a way that felt immersive, atmospheric, and genuinely captivating. Her storytelling was the highlight of the entire tour—she had a way of weaving history, mystery, and just the right amount of suspense to keep everyone fully engaged from start to finish. Visiting the Capuchin Crypts was both fascinating and haunting, and Mary provided thoughtful context that made the experience even more meaningful. As we moved through the city, her ghost stories added an extra layer of intrigue, making familiar streets feel mysterious and full of hidden history. If you’re looking for something beyond the typical sightseeing tour, this is absolutely worth it. Mary’s storytelling alone makes it a must-do experience in Rome
Awesome tour and very...

5.00Awesome tour and very informative! Felt like we saw so much a of the city and learned so much. Ben has so much knowledge of the city and gave us plenty of recommendations for outside of the tour. Do keep in mind if you do the combo tour it is ~4 hours of walking, so dress comfortably, but totally worth it!
Loved it! In all it’s horrible character

5.00Ariel was a true delight as a guide for our catacombs tour. Knowledgeable and plenty of anecdotes! She is worth taking the tour all over again. Ben led our tour of ghosts and horribleness. A great wit, and much information about the evils of men in Ancient Rome.

5.00Hello dear team, I would like to thank you very much for yesterday's tour. And special praise goes to my tour guide, who provided first aid immediately when a man was hit by a car before we started the tour. The tour guide reacted excellently in this situation. Overall, she was a great companion for the entire tour. I am always amazed at how much knowledge and information the guides have. As for the tour itself, I can only say: WOW! The many impressions and facts about what I saw kept me busy for quite a while afterwards. I can really recommend this tour to every visitor to Rome. Thank you very much for this great opportunity. Best regards Susann

5.00Such a fun and creative way to see the city. And the Capuchin Monks-wow! We loved both our guides… they shared such unique details that most people would likely never know. And they did it with a personal touch. Thank you!
Memorable experience

5.00An amazing experience for our party, 1 adult and 2 teenagers. Our guide, Arielle, was knowledgable and funny, the tour was interactive , captivating the attention of the youngsters. Many “AHA” moments. Need to mention that with larger groups/tours/companies, the guide is not allowed in the Capuchin crypt, so the experience is so much more valuable then an audioguide. We are happy that we chose the Combo tour as they “complimented” each other with dark stories . It was the best part of our short trip to Rome and the one that most certainly will remain in the kids memory l. As for the adult… well, 4th time in Rome and it was very nice to find out less known facts about this incredible town and its history. Definitely worth the tour! Not to mention the support from customer care with ticket, reservation. Congrats and many thanks I recommend booking directly from their website
