3.00Tour guide was very sweet and communicated very well, was helpful and funny…but the tour is more of history and explanation of venice architecture than its is a ghost tour.

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.
