IntroductionVenice by night is a place of romance and mystery - and the ghosts of the past! This ghost walking tour takes you on a journey through the hidden Venice, and tells the tale of six intriguing ghost stories that will bring a chill to the night's air! In addition to hearing ghost stories and legends, you'll hear little-known facts about Venice and its history, and visit tucked-away backstreets well off the beaten track. Your adventure starts at the Rialto Bridge, from where you'll descend into the labyrinth of Venice, crossing sleeping canals and abandoned squares. In fact it will feel as if you have Venice to yourself, as the only sounds you'll hear will be the echoes of distant footsteps.
In between the ghost stories, you'll hear gruesome tales from Venice's past as you take a stroll along the narrow alleyway called the street of the Assassins, and learn of the murders that have taken place there. 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).
The walking tour also highlights architectural gems and follies lost in the backstreets of Venice, including the delightful Bovolo staircase built for a wealthy Venetian at a time when many Venetians still traveled around the city on horseback. The elaborate spiral staircase enabled the wealthy nobleman to ride his horse up to his private apartments within his palace.
After following a winding route through Venice's labyrinth of backstreets, the tour finishes near the Rialto Bridge, where you'll enjoy a fine view of the main bridge over the Grand Canal.

Obviously cannòt promise anyone will see ghosts! The stories were interesting and the guide was entertaining. This tour takes you off the beaten path and you`ld never see these parts of Venice without going on the tour! Well worth it! 2011-10-10 Tom C , Loved it!! Have you ever been down a narrow street in Venice with no lights at night? I have...now. Lots of info, history and stories. 2011-10-06 Amanda W , Australia This was a BRILLIANT tour! Our guide was lovely, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the more gruesome history of Venice! It was a wonderful evening, we learned lots and loved every minute of it! One of the most fascinating things we did during our stay, we saw places we'd never seen before and would have quite happily walked further to learn more! Would recommend it to everyone - great experience!! :o)) 2011-10-04 L J H , I really enjoyed this tour! It was fun and I learned some interesting facts. I was a little worried at first about not being able to hear the guide because she did not hand out audio sets but we had no trouble hearing her at all. I can't remember the guides name but she was a tall, blonde woman who was very nice and made a great recommendation during the tour of a movie about Venice's most famous courtesan. I definitely recommend this tour! 2011-09-27 Jennifer W , Best value for money in Venice!! Great tour guide!! 2011-09-13 vic r , I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour because I got to see parts of Venice that I wouldn't ordinarily see and heard a lot of good stories. I'm glad that I got to see Marco Polo's house which I never would have found on my own. The tour guide was excellent and I would highly recommend this tour. 2011-09-12 Frederick P , We loved this tour. As we travel around the world, we do this type of tour in every city we can. It really gives you some interesting understand of the culture and history of each area. 2011-09-11 ALAN M , USA
