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.

What are people saying about Bucharest

Jennine_H, Sep 2026

Wonderful Day in Bulgaria

We really enjoyed our full day of sightseeing in Bulgaria. Claudiu picked us up at our hotel in Bucharest, and did an excellent job of showing us some of the top sites in Bulgaria and was very knowledgeable. His English was excellent, he was fun to speak with and shared fascinating insights into life and history in both Romania and Bulgaria. We highly recommend this tour and Claudiu in particular as a great tour guide!

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.

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!

Bucharest Ghosts Stories and Mythology

Georgiana_D, Aug 2026

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 ❤️.

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.

Had a fabulous day with our driver, Emanuel. He knew a lot of history and a lot of jokes! His English is excellent, so there was never any trouble communicating. The castles were amazing and well worth the trip out from Bucharest, as was the different scenery on the way.

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.

Guided Walking Tour of Historical Bucharest

Matthew_T, Oct 2025

Very knowledgeable and lots of fun

Alina was a verifiable fountain of knowledge regarding the architectural, cultural, and societal history of Bucharest, Romania, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and their relationship to Western Europe and the US. She's very personable, has a great sense of humor, who challenged what we've been taught about the region. I feel fortunate to having her as our guide.
