EXPERIENCE:

Legends and anecdotes from Venice’s Past & Present. Stroll through narrow passageways, cross sleepy canals and abandoned piazzas (campi) to discover that Venice by night is a city of romance and mystery.

During the Venice Ghost Walk you’ll hear some intriguing ghost stories that will bring a chill to the night air. Throughout these 90-minute Venice Ghost and Legends Walking Tours your knowledgeable and entertaining guides will also entertain you with ghost stories and legends about Venice and the Venetians themselves.

Mind your step, as you follow your guide on this Ghost Walking Tour of Venice as you don’t want to wake the dead! We’ll cross one cemetery hidden beneath the streets and campi of the modern-day city of Venice.

And as you navigate the labyrinth of Hidden Venice you’ll see numerous architectural gems lost in the backstreets of Venice that include the famous Bovolo staircase. Built by a wealthy Venetian, at a time when Venetians still travelled around the city on horse-back, this elaborate staircase enabled the nobleman to ride his horse up to his private apartments.

You’ll explore a secret passage-way, one of the few remaining ones left in the city. The lover of a noble Venetian lady used this passageway to gain access to her private apartments without the knowledge of her husband (access subject to water-levels).

With stories of rat-infested prison cells that flooded during high tide, and a stroll along the “Calle dei Assassini” there will be many other surprises along the way. The Tour ends close to the Rialto Bridge.
