In this tour we’ll show you the hidden side of Florence, with stories of ghosts, murders, betrayals and curiosities that go beyond the typical history of the city. Have you ever heard about the Monster of Florence, one of the bloodiest serial killers ever? Are you curious about florentine superstitions, conspiracies, unexplained things, saints, miracles or tortures? If so, this is the tour for you. We just warn that some topics may hurt some sensitivities and may not be suitable for a public under 18. Come with us and discover the side of Florence that doesn’t appear in tourist guides, so disturbing, lurid and unsettling that will make you have a sleepless night. ha ha ha

Ghost tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful experience to tour Florence with some great tour guides. Lots to learn and see. Educating and of course, spooky!

Antonio was a great guide.

Published on Jan, 2025

Antonio was very clear as used a small amplifier so we could all hear him . He told us some spooky tales as he took us around central Florence. He also gave interesting stories about the architecture. It was a good tour just long enough & not too tiring

Michele's got a real talent for storytelling. He took us back to Renaissance Florence and made the whole Medici saga feel real. The way he explained how this powerful family shaped art, politics, and banking kept everyone interested.
