Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, was born sometime between 1428 and 1431, probably in Sighişaora, Transylvania. His patronymic, ‘Dracul’, means Dragon, derived from the membership of his father, Vlad II Dracul, in the Order of the Dragon, an order of chivalry for the defence of Christianity in Eastern Europe against the Ottomans, so the young Vlad became known as Dracula, or “son of Dragon”. The exact date, cause, and location of Vlad’s death is unknown, but is believed to have taken place between October and December 1476, when he disappeared in battle. It is known, however, that his head was taken to Constantinople as a trophy. His daughter Maria was meanwhile brought to the Neapolitan court, whose ruling family was allied with her own family, where she was adopted and eventually married to a Neapolitan nobleman.

We had a fantastic tour...

We had a fantastic tour of Bucharest with our private guide Radu. His wealth of knowledge of Bucharest and all of Romania was incredible. He shared so much history about the city. He was friendly and he answered all our questions. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bucharest!

Bogdan was great! He is very knowledgable, accommodating & punctual. The vehicle was clean. It was a long day and we never felt rushed. He made an effort to let us know that he was there for us and shared some hidden treasures. It was a most wonderful experience! We highly recommend him.

Bucharest Ghosts Stories and Mythology

Carmen_C, Aug 2026

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!

Constanta and the Black Sea Private Tour from Bucharest

Michael_S, Aug 2026

Wonderful adventure!

This private tour of the seaside resort of Constanta was phenomenal. My guide, Claudiu, was friendly and knowledgeable. He brought me to the local mosque where I climbed the minaret, explained the various historical sites, including the casino. Then we had a wonderful lunch at a Greek restaurant. By the end of the excursion, I felt I had made a new friend in Claudiu. I highly recommend this experience.

The history of Bucharest by Ed the Historian!

What a wonderful way to see Bucharest and learn about its long complex history. Our guide Ed is a suma cum laude history graduate and his knowledge of the history of this beautiful city was exceptional! The tour lasted around three hours, we biked about 10km and travelled through 3000 years of Romanian history, from battles over the city with the turks and the romans, to Vlad the Impaler and the history of the city from a commerce perspective on the silk road. Ed was super friendly and open, had an answer to all the questions and as a first generation “free” Romanian, you could tell he was passionate about what he was doing! We would highly recommend this tour!! There was a small miss communication between viator and the Company on which tour we were taking, but it all worked out in the end. The only improvement on the tour would be to give the tour guides a tablet. Ed showed us some videos from the history of the country and city and it would have been nice to see it on a bigger screen!

A 6 starts tour.

Our guide, Alinn is very knowlegble. He explained in detail each place that we visited. He also did not rush us and allow us to take photos in each place that we stopped. The experience exceeded our expectation and more.There was not one question unanswered. We are traveling over 50 years and we never encountered such an amazing guide that let us feel like friends .He deserves 6 stars. Excelent

Dracula Castle, Peles Castle & Brasov-Private Tour from Bucharest

Gary_R, Jul 2026

Wild weather and great trip to Transylvania.

Radu was our driver and gave us great tour. He took us to the main attractions and let us decide how long to take at each site. We had time to walk around on our own. We had a wild thunder storm in the afternoon that blocked the main road from Brasov with a mudslide. Radu took us on another route through the countryside that most people don't see. He was very knowledgeable and friendly which made the day very enjoyable.

Wine Tasting in Bucharest

Beth_F, Jun 2026

Very enjoyable.

The host was charming and explained about the different indigenous grapes and the regions of the country where the vineyards were located. It helped that they had a map as well. Since all the tastings were in a single location, we didn’t have to walk to different locations and had time to relax and enjoy the wines and charcuterie. A good start to our time in Bucharest.

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Thomas_G, May 2026

A Brilliant experience with Claudiu

We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little underwhelming in comparison. Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back. There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

Life under Communism

Best tour guide we've had in years!

Cristine was a wonderful guide. Besides being very knowledgeable, her clarity of speaking English made the tour much better for me, as I am very hearing impaired and have some difficulty walking distances. When the tour stopped she always did so where I could sit or lean. Very few guides we've met (hundreds over the years) have been so accomodating. She is a remarkable guide.
