Venedig: Ghosts and Legends Evening Private Walking Tour

The ghost tour never happened and the company still has not refunded me my money. Beware! I would not recommend them to anyone.

Isabelle is a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed the discovery of Venice with her! We learnt a lot about the city and its history. We recommend the visit!

Alex was absolutely amazing! He was passionate about the stories he was telling and did this in an incredibly immersive way. We relived the stories right where they supposed to have happened. The legends were told in the most interesting and humourous way to lighten the mood after the darkest and most horrific stories. During the walk to the locations he sprinkled it with recent and ancient history. We learned a lot about the way locals live here as well. This wxperience was absolutely perfect and we would redo this any time! Absolutely worth booking this with Alex!

Manuela was AMAZING!! She’s a native of Venice and is from multiple generations going back hundreds of years in Venice. She knows everything about the city, tells engaging stories, historical and personal experiences and kept all of us, including our teen boys fully engaged in every way. She’s funny, animated and clearly loves her job. She also has a YouTube channel & produces videos about visiting Venice and Italy. It was exactly what we were looking for and would highly recommend this tour and Manuela! She has 7 gondoliers in her family! You don’t get more Venetian than that! She took us to her favorite gelato place, recommended non-touristy restaurants & parts of the city to visit, explained the architecture, how Venice began and it’s importance on the Silk Road, Marco Polo’s family, etc. we saw so much of the city in such a short period of time but never felt rushed. I can’t say enough!! Manuela is the best!!!

Very knowledgeable tour guide. Great stories and historical information. Lots of photos were taken and we had a good time.

For an ancient city, we heard remarkably few ghost stories or even creepy myths. It was more of an evening walking tour of Venice with a few (not particularly interesting stories that lacked suspense). The guide was nice enough but - after having taken ghost tours in a number of other cities - we found this one disappointing. In short, if you're looking for a real ghost tour, don't pick this tour. If you want a pleasant enough evening stroll, this works.

We had a fantastic experience on Venice on this tour. Our guide, Giovanna, met us at our hotel, and we agreed on a route that allowed us to see the most of Venice without seeing places we had already been. She asked about our particular interests and tailored the talk to them. She was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer every question we asked, including some on more recent history (second World War). As to the tour itself - we’ll, you can’t really go wrong with sightseeing Venice! It was fun to learn some of the ghost stories and superstitions, and Giovanna pointed out details I certainly would not have noticed. But the tour was much more, and I learned how the city came to be originally, and some of the very interesting things about the architecture that I had been noticing were explained. She also very kindly provided us with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations for the rest of our visit. I would book again with Eyes of Rome in a heartbeat.
