Venice by night is steeped in mystery and the ghosts of the past! This 1.5-hour evening ghost walking tour takes you on a journey to the city’s hidden corners, with a ghost-expert guide who recounts some spooky ghost stories and other legends as you walk. Recoil at gruesome facts about Biasio, the child-killing butcher of Venice; see from outside the beautiful and reputedly haunted Bovolo staircase; and hear strange and sinister tales about the Venice of old as you explore the shadowy squares and empty streets. Not for the faint-hearted!

It wasn’t a great tour. Nothing special about ghost stories. Very minimal ghost stories and very general tour. Very much below expectations.

Super fun start to our trip - Christina (I think that was her name, apologies on the spelling!) was awesome! We learned a ton - she was from Venice so honestly it was a great experience just to learn about the history of Venice in addition to the stories. Also, we ran into her again a few days after on a different tour and she recognized us in the courtyard - so you can tell the guides genuinely care about you having a great experience. Also, as advertised, DEFINITELY off the beaten path which was awesome. Most of the tour there was no one else around!

Overall this tour was just okay. The guide was very nice and engaging, and clearly knowledgeable. However, of the 90 min, we probably spent around 50-60 walking between points. None of the tales were particularly spooky, if that’s what you’re after. Additionally, I do not recommend going on a weekend evening. The crowds made it impossible to hear at times, as some of the chosen locations are in the most populous tourist areas (like st marks & Rialto bridge).

Storytelling not great and guide did not captivate the audience so made this tour a little tedious. Low energy and poor stories.

The tour was very insightful into the history of Venice. Our tour guide was very friendly and showed us all the cool and spooky places in Venice

Our tour guide Christina was enthusiastic. The tour felt a little disorganized (some of which was unavoidable as the high tides meant flooding in areas of the city which we had to work around) but we felt like the stories didn’t match many of the areas we walked on the tour and some were not detailed or even scary. It was an ok experience.

It was very boring and the guide was inept. We left after the first hour. She rambled on. It was mostly stories. I went on a ghost tourin Venice many years ago and it was fantastic. This was not

Tour guide was funny and eccentric and tried her best to get the group involved. Some of the stories were good, but the tour guide wasn’t a natural born story teller, so it was hard to understand the point or the climax of some of the stories. Plus, for a city that has such an eerie atmosphere, especially at night, there aren’t actually that many creepy ghost stories or legends. The tour felt padded out with generic history as opposed to the macabre.

We look forward to an entertaining guide, scary ghost stories and some history...not sure this did much of that. The guide did not tell us his name, so cannot state that. We did walk alot and the headphones worked.
Am also turned off by anti-Catholic side comments. Am sure there are many other groups that did even worse things all over Italy.

It was a nice to see some of the hidden streets and alleyways of Venice at night. Tour guide was hard to hear most of the time due to the business of the city. Tour was a bit chaotic getting going due to people being late and group not staying together.
