About This Activity

Rome's centro storico hides centuries of dark history between its monuments — this 1.5-hour evening walking tour visits the site of Beatrice Cenci's execution, the Bridge of Angels where a female pope's ghost is said to walk, and piazzas connected to Inquisition-era crimes. Tours depart at dusk in groups of max 12. Your guide delivers the history with theatrical storytelling in English. Suitable for ages 12 and up.

Seasonal note: Best in mild weather; operates year-round
