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.

Beats Expectations - Bogdan did an excellent job telling the local stories, adding in personal touches, and acknowledging the skepticism. We loved hearing about the local traditions and folklores. Great tour!

Nice after-hours activity - Was a very chill couple of hours listening and learning about interesting history not generally told or marketed to tourists. The guide Gabriela was very knowledgeable and answered every question very informative, even ones not about the subject at hand. Overall nice experience for the evenings after museums etc are closed.

Excellent tour about Bucharest’s dark folklore. Ask for Bogdan. - I chose this tour because folklore really interests me. My guide, Bogdan, really delivered on the description of the tour. It is clear that he is incredibly well versed in the culture, history, and folklore of Bucharest. He is a skilled raconteur with a wonderfully dry sense of humour. The tour had just the right balance of creepy and maybe possible.

Spooky (and skeptic-friendly) tour - I love ghost tours and my boyfriend does not but obliges me on going on them around the world. Gabriella was a wonderful guide and had a good balance of incorporating some ghost and scary stories for me while also balancing it with some history and cultural insights that my partner enjoyed. Gabriella did an excellent job of bringing some fun to the tour as well! The ghost tour was not at all corny and some of them can be so that was refreshing.
