Fantastic tour with an exceptional guide! - Joe was a fantastic tour guide! I was in genuine shock when he said it was approaching 10pm and the lights were going off, 2 hours passed so quickly due to his insightful and highly entertaining stories & style. I can't recommend the tours here enough.

‘Bloody’ Great Tour 🩸 - If you like your history on the macabre side I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Joe’s delivery, energy and enthusiasm kept us captivated throughout the walk. Filled with the bloody thirsty history of Hungary and plenty of ‘fun’ facts along the way! The walk around these areas by night is stunning and there are plenty of photo opportunities. Thank you Joe! 🧛🏻‍♂️🩸

Joe’s tour of the castle district and the tales and legends of its darker and bloodier past - Joe is a really theatrical character and is an amazing storyteller. His stories and passing on the bloodier tales were really interesting. He told us of the history of the Dracula family and how they were integrated into the Hungarian history was brilliant. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

Excellent! Super Indico - I LOVE the experience!!! John is an excellent storyteller, who involves you all the time. The tour has its scary stories, but they are all true and make a living part of the history of Hungary, Transylvania, Slovakia, among others. It's worth it
