Exploring Venetian Darkness: Tales from a Private Ghost Tour
In between the Ghost Stories, you'll hear other gruesome tales from Venice's past, including stories about an old prison where the poor in-mates lived in rat-infested cells that flooded during high tide. We'll take a stroll along the narrow alleyway called the street of the Assassins to recount the murders that have taken place there, as well as exploring an old campo that used to home one of the numerous cemeteries in Venice. You'll also explore a secret passageway, one of the few surviving that were used by the inhabitants of palaces to flee from the authorities (subject to water-levels).

Our Private Venice Ghost walking tours also include architectural gems, and follies lost in the back-streets of Venice that will include the delightful Bovolo staircase built for a wealthy Venetian at a time when many Venetians still travelled around the city on horse-back. The elaborate staircase enabled the wealthy nobleman to ride his horse up to his private apartments within his palace.

Following a winding route through the labyrinth of back-streets, you'll enjoy a very intimate experience of the Hidden Venice with your own personal family friendly guide: an enchanting route with many surprises along the way. Our Private Venice Ghost walking tours finish near the Rialto bridge where you'll enjoy a fine view of the main bridge over the Grand Canal.
