The tour was wonderful, but there was too much just plain historic information as opposed to legends and ghost stories. The tour guide was very good and knowledgeable on the information.

Overall a great tour. Enjoyed the stories, although, I expected it to be a little more spooky.

Very nice! Definitely saw and heard about places we wouldn't have known about or found on our own. Guide was excellent!

Tour was fun, it was good to see places in Venice at night which you would otherwise not go to.

The ghost tours are always fun. The guides are great. You can't go wrong with Viator!

I liked this one. It was more of a tour of the city with a few ghost stories along the way, but you walk along the canals and see streets that you would never see otherwise.

Our tour guide was great in that she was a very active and exciting storyteller. I just can't say the same about the stories. The tour starts at dusk, which is a perfect time to get you excited to be scared, but the stories are not scary at all. The tour was perfect for the few kids who were in the tour though. The best story was the last one regarding the Rialto bridge. You probably can read about it in a book, though, so I say save your money.

This is touted as a "ghost" walking tour. Yes, there are stories about what locals see or hear due to legends, but mostly it was a history tour with stories and local legends thrown in to make it more interesting. Although we got to go off the beaten path, and see areas of Venice no tourist would ever find, I was looking forward to seeing the stairs in the photograph depicting the tour, or going down the narrowest road in the world, but we didn't see those things. Our guide was great, but the overall size of the group on the tour was a little too big for my taste...20 people per group. I would recommend this tour, but don't go into it expecting a ghost tour.

The tour was cute but should be renamed "myths and legends." I would not really recommend it to anyone who is interested in ghost stories.

Not quite what we expected. Not really a ghost tour; more of a walk round some of the back streets with some nice stories.

The group was huge and the guide had a very soft voice, so I couldn't hear half of it.

I thought this was a ghost tour, it ended up being an extended history lesson type tour. I knew it would be short but we spent most of the time walking from one place to the next. Our tour guides accent was so strong most of us couldn't understand her. It was nice to see more thing off the tourist beaten path, and things you don't read about in books, but I wish there was more to it or it shouldn't be advertised as a ghost tour.

Tour guide needs a mike so all can hear. There was little ghost story telling. The route was nice.

The leader was in a rush to finish the tour and again it was at times difficult to hear considering the number.

In my opinion the Ghost Walking Tour was more of an orientation tour, but nevertheless it was still enjoyable, and the tour guide was very informative.
