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

A great walking tour of the local area with myths and legends of Romania. Our guide Bogdan had so much information to give us and seemed passionate about what he was sharing! Some of the homes/buildings were very eerie which really contributed to the atmosphere of the night. Do wear comfortable shoes as it’s about 2.5 hours of walking!
What a wonderful tour we really enjoyed it! Ali our guide was very informative and told her ‘ghostly’ tales with good humour to. We were never rushed and Ali always gave the opportunity for us to ask questions. The pick up instructions were clear and Ali made sure we all knew how to get back to our hotels. I would recommend this tour.
Denis was an enthusiastic tour guide. He told os loads of interesting stories and took us to many cool places. Would definitely recommend
Romania already has enough creepy history and spooky legends to keep you looking over your shoulder, but this tour brought all of it to life. 👻🇷🇴 Katy was an AMAZING storyteller — smart, knowledgeable, hilarious, and somehow made every story feel like we were actually there when it happened. You can tell she genuinely knows her stuff and knows exactly how to keep a group entertained. And whoever arranged the rain, perfectly timed flickering streetlights, and overall haunted Bucharest atmosphere deserves a raise. 😂 Clearly paid actors. 10/10 production value. If you’re visiting Bucharest and want something different from the typical sightseeing tour, DO THIS ONE. You’ll learn a ton about Romania’s darker, weirder history, laugh along the way, and possibly spend the rest of the night questioning every shadow you see. Absolutely worth it. 👻🖤 Would 100% recommend — especially if Katy is your guide!
Very interesting, I love learning about other cultures and beliefs. Who doesn’t love a good ghost story?! I enjoyed how a lot of it interlinked with the countries history. Elena was a brilliant tour guide, loved the quirky comments.
It was a very fun ghost tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and had great stories to tell us. We all enjoyed it.
This was quite a special experience that I highly recommend. The stories had a great impact and stayed with me, partly because of the well researched details of the stories, but mostly because Tudor is such a great storyteller. Thank you for an unforgettable evening ❤️.
It was thrilling getting to know about stories, traditions and myths of Romanian ghosts, superstitions and witchcraft. Our host, Ali, was patient and informative, most of all engaging. She welcomed every question and provided meticulous insights on the stories as she highlighted skillfully each aspect of the stories. Would recommend it definitely to everyone interested in spooky, scary, dark side of Romania.
Great Tour! Very spooky!!! 😊
Awesome tour; our guide Tudor had so much knowledge and so many stories to share, the atmosphere of the walk was great and really fitting with the ghosts and mythology theme, 10/10 would do again!
