After night falls on this atmospheric city, meet up with your guide near the famous Rialto Bridge. From there, journey through a labyrinth of narrow streets and deserted squares as your guide recounts tales of Venice’s haunted history. From the sacred to the profane, learn about the noble-blooded ghosts that wander the city’s grand palaces and the medieval child-killer Biasio, who was said to chop up little limbs and add them to his stews.

Stop by the beautiful Bovolo staircase—an architecturally impressive structure that conceals strange secrets in its spiraling stone archways. Learn about ancient cemeteries buried beneath the cobblestone streets and ponder the legends of fearsome sea creatures lurking in Venetian canals.

Step down to a secret passageway where forbidden lovers once met by torchlight (water levels permitting). Finally, let your imagination run wild in the shadowy Calle dei Assassini, once a popular haunt for hardened criminals and murderers and the site of many dark deeds.

Your guide leads you back to the Rialto Bridge area. From there, you are free to continue roaming the shadowy city on your own—if you dare!

Traveler Tips

  • "It was a walking tour so many sure you bring good shoes." See review
  • "they should definitely use a wireless sound system, like they do at museum tours, not because the tourguide is so quiet, but because of the noise around the area that drowns out the tourguide." See review

Fun ghost walk through Venice
Sean_S

This was an enjoyable evening in the streets of Venice, as much à history lesson about the ancient city of Venice as it was ghost stories. The guide is a native venitian and made the entire group, speaking multiple languages, feel welcome and included.

Cristina was a wonderful guide full of local history and the macabre. The adults and children in our group both enjoyed this tour. The back alleys and courtyards of Venice are off the beaten path and a delight to see outside the normal tourist experience.

Thank you so much Wendy for your lovely review of our ghost and legends tour with Cristina. I have already forwarded your feedback to her - thank you for appreciating her knowledge and dedication.

This tour is fun and very interesting. Christina took us into the dark and secret areas of Venice where most tourists never go. She had researched the legends and stories of Venice that she shared with us which added to the tours fun. Great way to see Venice at night. Perfect for couples or families with teens.

OUr guide was very pleasant and she had plenty of funny tales to tell but for most of it, we could have sat in a bar and be told them because 90% of the stories were about events that happened elsewhere, not about where we had just walked to.

This tour was informative and interesting but I would not consider it a ghost tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. expectation of it being a spooky ghost tour fell short. Maybe it needs to be relabled as a Dark venice tour ??
