Private Venice Ghost Tour: Unveiling Crime and Mystery by Night
During these nocturnal Venice ghost tour, you'll come to appreciate the city's allure of romance and mystery. Our Private Venice Ghost Walking Tours feature an itinerary that will take you on a journey through the hidden Venice where you will not only hear six intriguing ghost stories that will bring a chill to the night's air, but you'll also be entertained by legends about Venice and the Venetians themselves.

In addition to the ghost stories and legends, our Private Venice Ghost Walking Tours include an itinerary that will pass by many architectural treasures that are lost in the back-streets of the Hidden Venice. Your adventure will start at the Rialto bridge from where you'll descend into the labyrinth of the hidden Venice, crossing sleeping canals and abandoned “campi”, it will feel as if you have Venice to yourself as the only sounds you'll hear will be the echoes of distant footsteps.

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.
