Helen was an excellent guide. She is extremely well informed about the locations and has a genuine interest in the history of the locations on the tour. She was very funny as well as quite polite and extraordinarily nice. She kept the whole tour humorous, entertaining, considerate, and above all made it a great experience to remember.

The tour really helped my son relax and look forward to our visit to Rome. The weird facts and stories were great. We noted many things throughout the rest of the week that were mentioned on the tour.

As the sun sets over Rome, a new city comes to light – a city of legends and mystery, where thousands of years have left a story behind every stone. Most travelers are familiar with the glory of Ancient Rome and the beauty of the Italian Renaissance, but during the Middle Ages and the Inquisition, a far more haunting history emerged. Fraught with murder, executions, and ghosts, the stories you will hear on this tour are not your average bedtime tales.
