Rome Secrets, Legends & Dark History Tour with Tasty Bites
Provided by Viator - A Tripadvisor Company UK. Prices & availability set by the provider and may change.
Explore the hidden side of Rome on a walking tour that blends dark history, ghostly legends, and local flavors. Meet your guide at the Portico d’Ottavia, by the ruins under the sign "Hostaria" in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, where stories of mysticism, Kabbalah, and the legend of the Golem set the tone. Enjoy a stop for authentic Roman pizza before continuing to the Passetto del Biscione, a frescoed corridor once used for escapes and secret encounters, and learn the tale of the city’s “Madonnelle.” Visit Campo de’ Fiori to face the statue of Giordano Bruno, the heretic burned alive, then step inside the baroque church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte, adorned with skulls and bones. On Via Giulia, hear about Giulia Tofana, the poisoner who created “Aqua Tofana,” and pass through the Arco dei Banchi, a hidden passage linked to Vatican intrigues. Conclude with wine and local sweet biscuits before the chilling story of Mastro Titta at Ponte Sant’Angelo.
