Highlights
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

5Amazing tour and guide
Rares our tour guide was incredible, really took the time to explain everything to us and told us some incredible stories about the history of the city and explained about a lot of things that we didn't even know. He was an amazing person in general and took the time to get to know us. We can't thank you enough for tonight and will 100% recommend you to our friends 😊
5Romanian mythology with a spooky bits
This was a worthwhile experience to learn about Romanian mythology and backstories of some local buildings. Definitely entertaining! The only thing I found the stories were a bit lengthy at time. Maybe split the longer stories into smaller pieces and change locations? Otherwise, I totally loved it!
4Great tour of the local area with myths and legends
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!
5Romanian myths and legends
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.
5Great experience
Denis was an enthusiastic tour guide. He told os loads of interesting stories and took us to many cool places. Would definitely recommend
5Romania already has...
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!

About Bucharest
Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.
The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.
Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
