This spectral 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. 


Join us, if you have the courage, on this phantasmal journey through Venice at night. ï»¿
