Full description
Starting in Campo San Bartolomeo, this 1.5-hour walking tour takes you to the hidden corners of Venice. A qualified guide will lead you through winding streets and eerie squares and tell you tales of mystery, murder and superstition. This tour covers areas of Venice after dark including hidden squares and darkened alleys, that otherwise you might not have the courage to visit. Walk through the Castello district as you learn about Venetian doges and noblemen. Hear about unrequited love, the ghostly sounds outside the Malibran Theater and tales of tragic deaths. Head to Campo San Giovanni and Paolo, and then walk along the foreboding Fondamenta Nuova, across from a cemetery. Hear the story of the unburied child, said to be seen in the murky lagoon. The tour ends in the Cannaregio district.

Our guide spoke very clear English and was a fantastic story teller! She really took you along the journey and the stories had many twists and turns. It was very nice that she took you to locations that directly related to the stories and told you some of the contextual history as well. One of the better ghost tours I’ve been on!

It was raining the entire time we had our tour, but our tour guide was great at getting the stories he needed to the point. He was really honest and told us the truth and then the myth/legend behind each story. As old as Venice is, there doesn’t seem to be many ghostly sightings that still happen (or any that can be told about) Either way- this was an informative tour!

Graciella was battling a raging storm as she explained the spooky side of Venice to around 20 people in our group, Despite the terrible conditions the tour was fun and the information that Graciella gave us was based on fact (or factual folklore!). We visited various locations where various things had occurred to cause a ghostly presence. Graciella was always able to be heard which was amazing in the weather. Avery enjoyable 90 minutes.
