Overview

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
