Scary and Educational (In a Good way!)

5.00Gory stories, great information and way more educational than we imagines. Genuinely enthusiastic host and leader. Nicely paced and lots of great sites and stories. You'll enjoy the information you won't hear on a normal tour.
Perfect way to end our family day!

5.00My group thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Flavia was super nice and engaging. She walked and an easy pace and showed us out of the way places with interesting historical lore. If you’d like to stroll the streets of Venice at night while being entertained, I highly recommend this activity.
Awesome stories, great guide

5.00Very exciting and entertaining ghost and murder mystery tour through Venice! Valentina was a very nice and friendly guide who led the tour with a lot of enthusiasm and humor. The stories, legends, and historical backgrounds were super interesting and engagingly told – one enjoyed listening the whole time. We particularly liked that she showed us some hidden places and corners that tourists would probably never discover otherwise. In addition to the spooky stories, we also learned a lot about past and present life in Venice, which made the tour even more varied. The mix of exciting, funny, and informative really pleased us, and we can definitely recommend the tour. Nevertheless, we must say that the price is, in our opinion, a bit too high. The tour lasted about 1.5 hours, and the price-performance ratio is not quite right here. Nonetheless, we had a great experience overall and would generally recommend the tour.
A wonderfuly different way to experience history in Venice

5.00We chose to take this tour on our first visit and, our first night in Venice. Serena was our fabulous local tour guide who had a great way of sharing information and engaging historical stories about people and the places that we visited. We were the only 2 travellers for this tour that night and so recognize that we were fortunate to have a more personalized experience. Serena took us to areas that we would not otherwise have seen and this actually helped us to feel more confident in later exploring the city independently. She also provided us with very helpful information about the city including how to navigate our way around Venice using the vaporettos. Overall, this was a highly memorable way for us to begin our stay in Venice. Thank you Serena! We would highly recommend both this tour guide and this tour as one to prioritize when visiting Venice.
Great tour. too expensive

4.00The tour was great. She took us to unique places and had fabulous stories to share, the kind you can't find in a tourbook. But the tour is expensive and it was only a little over an hour. If the price was much lower, this would warrant a 5 star.
Ana is so fun and funny!...

5.00Ana is so fun and funny! Her storytelling was also pretty great. I've done about 10 ghost tours across the US and this was easily top two
Great guide and great tour
