Welcome to the dark side of Bucharest. Close to the Old Town and even in the place where you are having fun in the evening, there are strange things happening. Be aware, there might be some uninvited “locals" joining us for this tour. As this place was inhabited more than 2000 years ago, the city has been a witness to many deaths, murders, mysteries and, if you pay attention, you will hear the voice of the underworld almost everywhere. The tour tells stories of haunted houses and places and of the horror mythology or Romania, an inspiration for the vampires. Oh…let’s not forget Dracula, he also seems to be present here, given his very strong connection with the city and its past.
The tour includes stories from the guides knowledgeable in folklore, mythology and supernatural. They are not costumed and they are not actors performing scary scenes

Great ghost tour with knowledgeable guide

5.00I did the ghost and legends tour with Tudor on a rainy cold night. Despite the weather, the group was in good spirits, eager to hear stories about ghosts, demons, witches, and vampires. Tudor is a very knowledgeable guide who tailors the tours to the tastes of the group, drawing from rich knowledge about all things supernatural and explaining Romanian traditions and beliefs incredibly well. A brilliant spooky tour that led us past fascinating places and maybe a little too close to haunted buildings.
Stop and talked at various places about local folklore, witches, vampires etc. More factual and less gimmicky.

4.00Got good meeting info on the day. Tudor was a good, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Stop and talked at various places about local folklore, witches, vampires etc. More factual and less gimmicky than other tours. Still interesting way to spend a couple of hours or so.
The best ghost tour I’ve been on

5.00I have probably been on a dozen ghost tours in various cities and this tour was the best one that I have ever been on. Our guide, Tudor, was absolutely amazing and a fantastic storyteller. He was able to tie in stories and landmarks from stops at the very beginning of the tour to the legends told at the end of the tour. These full-circle moments were so cool and it makes you appreciate how unique Romanian folklore and myths are.

5.00This was the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on! Tudor did an absolutely incredible job. He is a wonderful storyteller, and found a way to engage with everyone on the tour. He is kind, considerate, and obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I would recommend everyone to join this tour, and I would love to do it again! Thank you, Tudor!
A fitting Friday the 13th experience!

5.00Tudor, our guide was excellent. Friendly and informative. We learned heads of the traditions here. He was also telling us about witches, vampires and Strigoi. We visited a few haunted places as well, which intrigued me the most. I’d go again, if /when I come back to Bucharest.
