Dracula's Tomb and Mogosoaia Palace, Private Tour from Bucharest

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.

The Four Dark Obsessions of Wallachia | PrivateTour

Available in EN, FR or IT. Skip the Peleș and Bran crowds and discover the Wallachia most travelers never find. This private full-day tour from Bucharest visits four extraordinary sites, each built around an obsession darker and stranger than anything on the standard tourist trail. Stand where Vlad the Impaler actually ruled at Târgoviște's Princely Court — no Hollywood myth, just a medieval warlord who kept the Ottomans at bay through terror. At Hasdeu Castle in Câmpina, enter a 19th-century séance temple built by a grieving scholar desperate to reach his dead daughter. The Little Trianon of Florești reveals what Romanian aristocracy dreamed of before communism erased it all. Mogoșoaia Palace closes the day with Brâncovenesc lakeside beauty and a dynasty's violent Ottoman ending. Four sites, four centuries, four obsessions that shaped Wallachia. Entirely private — your group only, your pace, your questions. Hotel pickup and drop-off included from central Bucharest.

Great places to visit

Excellent small group trip with a friendly group of people. Matthew was a great guide. The Monestry and Palace were both worth the visit, but please take cash for entry to the Monestry and you will need to pay extra if you wish to take photos inside in both

Snagov and Mogosoaia Palace are a great combination tour

Emil the tour guide is EXCELLENT! He’s a local celebrity having appeared on a local TV show for many years. He really knows his history. Gabriel, the van driver, is an excellent driver. We did the private tour for just the 2 of us. Definitely the way to go. We even stopped at a local eatery and had had mici for lunch! Highly recommend this tour to get a great background on Vlad Tepes/Dracula.
