Highlights

From local superstitions to centuries-old Venetian lore, this group walking tour offers chilling tales of betrayal, murder, and mystery. Join us and uncover the dark side of Venice’s legendary personalities and iconic landmarks. This tour begins at Calle Larga de l’Ascension, a prominent street in the renowned San Marco District, where you will meet your expert, local guide. From here, your guide will lead you to the Castello district, down dizzying streets and eerie alleyways, across spooky squares and along the creepy, barnacled piers of Venice’s myriad canals. As you traverse the Castello district and beyond, your guide will amuse you with bone-chilling anecdotes, local superstitions, and the grotesqueries of Venetian lore. Discover the ghostly secrets of the Malibran Theater. Learn the legend of the unburied child, whose spirit is said to haunt the murky, Venetian Lagoon—In the City of Masks, a cacophony of eternal wretchedness echoes through the streets and canals.

About Venice

Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.

The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.

Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
