Additional Information

Embark on a journey to Bucharest’s eerie side. Near the Old Town and even amidst the nighttime revelries, peculiar occurrences are not uncommon. Keep alert, as unanticipated ‘local spirits’ may accompany us on this exploration. Having been settled for over two millennia, countless events of death, homicide, enigmas have taken place within the city’s bounds, and if you listen carefully, you can discern the whispers of the uncanny nearly everywhere. This voyage takes you to spook-ridden dwellings and locales, sharing pertinent tales of Bucharest’s past. Don’t be afraid, as delightful tales of deities, benevolent specters, and other mysteries also constitute Bucharest’s narrative. Oh, and we couldn’t overlook Dracula, whose profound links with the city and its history render him an ever-present figure.

Ghost and vampires evening tour Bucharest - The evening ghost and vampire tour was very cool. We even had some streetlight effects at some point! A lot of stories also had a link with the communism which was very interesting. Our guide (Ali) was great and she even gave us some nice tips for other places to visit (Bellu cemetary). The tour takes you to some of the less common places in Bucharest so thats pretty cool too.

Amazing tour! - What a great tour this was! Even tough I'm a local I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt tons of new things about my city and culture. Bogdan was a great guide with amazing storytelling abilities which made this tours so memorable and enjoyable. It's also during the evening so it's perfect to avoid the heat during the day plus it's a good opportunity to enjoy after the tour ends, the outdoor nightlife of Bucharest. Highly recommend!
