What you can expect

Rome has many secrets, but none like the one we’re about to investigate.

Designed to be enjoyed in any weather, this immersive walking tour moves between open piazzas and cool, atmospheric churches, offering shade, shelter, and even places to sit along the way. Whether under the blazing Roman sun or escaping sudden rain, you’ll explore comfortably while diving deep into one of Rome’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

This is the storey of Caravaggio: a revolutionary painter whose troubled life was as intense as his art — and whose death remains shrouded in mystery.

Explore iconic Roman locations and hidden corners connected to the life of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, whose revolutionary paintings transformed Western art — and whose turbulent life ended in unexplained circumstances. Along the way, your expert guide will reveal how street fights, powerful patrons, rival artists, and criminal enemies shaped both his career and his fate.

This immersive experience goes beyond traditional art history. Through historical evidence, eyewitness accounts, and modern theories, you’ll examine the circumstances surrounding Caravaggio’s final days and the unanswered questions about his death.

Ideal for travellers seeking unique cultural experiences in Rome, this walking tour blends art, history, and true crime into a compelling narrative set in the heart of the Eternal City.

Please dress appropriately for church entry. Truth is not always pretty—but it’s worth discovering.

It's a tip-based tour. The guides work on the ‘Pay-What-You-Want’ tour model which means they work for your tips alone. At the end of the experience you can give your guide what you think the tour was worth. Usually, the tip is between 10€ and 50$.
