Normally I’m not one to write reviews, but this was an excellent tour with an excellent guide. Ion was very knowledgeable of Vlad Tepes, the history of his times, and knowledgeable of pretty much any and every question My girlfriend and I could throw at him. He was a wealth of information and we were grateful to have him as a guide. The sites themselves are essentially ruins, but if you love history like I do then that should matter very little. I was captivated throughout the whole trip. I would definitely recommend to anyone in search of the REAL Dracula.

I have been traveling extensively in Europe for two and half years now. I have taken several tours and this was by far the best tour I have been on. This was all due to our tour guide. Nedea was informative, patient, humorous, accommodating and highly intelligent in addition to being extremely charming! My colleagues/friends and I had a wonderful time and Nedea made our weekend in Bucharest a very memorable experience. Multumesc, Nedea.
