Romania 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!

Must do! - 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.

Came for the stories, stayed for the gifted storyteller. - 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 ❤️.

One of a kind in the dark side of Romania - 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.

Romanian legands - The tour gave great insight to traditions, superstitions and cultural differences of the people of Romania. Our guide was so patient with the slower pace my 80 year old mother needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the night!

Ghosts in the city - The tour was interesting as it covers a different side of Romania culture. You learn a lot about spirits and witches I would have. Expected us to visit some places from the inside to make the experience concrete. It was mainly story telling tour in front of some areas in the city. The guide Tudor was really good at story telling and made the experience enjoyable I would recommend the experience for people interested in these type of stories. If you are not a fan of spirits, vampires and witches you might not like it.
