Description

As the sun sets and the crowds disappear, explore the city's dark and mysterious past through this Venice Legends, Anecdotes, and Ghost Stories tour. Led by an expert ghost-hunter guide, you'll wander through narrow passageways, haunted alleys, and hidden corners, delving into chilling ghost stories and legends from Venice's history.

The entire experience lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Travelers who have booked this night tour before have rated their experience an average of 3.9 out of 5 stars in 811 reviews.

Hear eerie tales, including that of Biasio, the child-killing medieval butcher of Venice, whose gruesome deeds continue to haunt the city's streets. Explore stories of ancient cemeteries concealed beneath the cobblestone pathways and ponder the intriguing legends of menacing sea creatures lurking in the Venetian canals. Depending on water levels, venture into a hidden passageway where forbidden lovers once met by torchlight.

This tour will take you to stunning travel destinations like Riva del Carbon, Bovolo Staircase (Scala Contarini del Bovolo), and Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto). During your adventure, you’ll see top attractions like Rio Tera' dei Assassini.

Riva del Carbon is an atmospheric waterfront said to be haunted by long-lost souls who met their tragic fates in its waters. Rio Tera' dei Assassini, or "Street of the Assassins," is known for its sinister history as a haven for secret meetings and unresolved mysteries.

Beneath the iconic Rialto Bridge, where a centuries-old marketplace once thrived, sounds of ancient deals and businesses that had gone wrong can still be heard at night. The Bovolo Staircase, famous for its spiral staircase, is believed to be visited by ghostly figures sharing old tales.

Finally, let your imagination roam free in the mysterious Calle dei Assassini, once a favored haunt for hardened criminals and the backdrop of many dark deeds. Afterward, your guide will lead you back to the Rialto Bridge area, from where you can continue to explore the city on your own – if you dare!

As you navigate through the mysterious corners of the city, you'll enjoy entertaining commentary from a ghostly-minded guide. This trip and excursion is offered in English.
