Before you book

  • Meet the guide near the statue of General Fanti in Piazza San Marco. The walk goes by Santissima Annunziata, the Duomo, the streets around the Bargello and Piazza della Signoria, and ends at Ponte Vecchio; the listing gives no duration.
  • The stories include real murders, among them the Monster of Florence killings, as well as torture and superstition. The tour is not suitable for anyone under 18 or in pregnancy.
  • Only the themed walk is included, so no entry tickets. It is guided in English or Spanish; wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Since February 2025 Florence has banned voice amplifiers on guided walks and requires wireless headsets for groups of more than 8, the guide not counted.
