Brilliant spooky tour with a lovely guide - Gabriela was a fantastic guide to the occult side of Bucharest. She was funny, bubbly and really knowledgeable and kept my teenage kids engrossed even though they were tired. She was a wonderful storyteller. On her recommendation, we also visited the cemetery that was slightly out of the city, too. I really recommend this tour to anyone interested in a bit of secret history, you won’t regret it.

Lots of interesting tales and legends about Romania - It was a fun and interesting tour. We walked around Bucharest with our guide while whe shared stories about legends and superstitions. She took time for us to share our own experiences. There were a total of eight people from various countries on the tour.

Gruesome history - Bogdan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Gave us a very interesting insight into the history of Bucharest and some of Romania's more gruesome traditions. We had a very interesting walk around the city and listened to stories of ghosts and hauntings. Would thoroughly recommend

Ali 5* Tour Guide - By far the best walking tour I have ever been on! It was just myself & my partner due to bad weather so it was very private. Ali our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & you could tell she had real passion for the history of Romania and its traditions. It was great being able to ask her lots of questions (my boyfriend being a history teacher he had quite a few). Nothing was a bother for Ali who was very happy to chat about the similar/different traditions found in Ireland/UK. We had visited the Museum of Communism earlier in the day so it felt like this tour was an enhancement on what we had learnt there. It was the perfect amount of spooky without being too much. I took a picture at one of the spots which seems to have a face in the window. At the end of the tour, Ali even walked with us back to the start spot & provided us with a restaurant recommendation. 5* would definitely do this tour again if in Bucharest.

Spooky and interesting - Our guide, Ali, made this a truly memorable experience. Her knowledge of ghosts, witches, rituals and killers was second to none. She wove her own Romanian cultural experiences into the stories which made them real and relatable. Despite the snow being knee deep the tour still went ahead, the snow made the experience magical.
