8 Ghost & Legends Tours in Venice Worth Booking

1.Venice Ghost Stories, Legends and Anecdotes Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 846 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42Our pick

A small-group Venice night walk with ghost legends near Rialto, murder alley tales, and the Bovolo Staircase, in about 90 minutes.

“Overall this tour was just okay. The guide was very nice and engaging, and clearly knowledgeable. However, of the 90 min, we probably spent around 50-60 walking between points. None of the tales were particularly spooky, if that’s what you’re after. Additionally, I do not recommend going on a weekend evening. The crowds made it impossible to hear at times, as some of the chosen locations are in the most populous tourist areas (like st marks & Rialto bridge).”
