I did the ghost and legends tour with Tudor on a rainy cold night. Despite the weather, the group was in good spirits, eager to hear stories about ghosts, demons, witches, and vampires.
Tudor is a very knowledgeable guide who tailors the tours to the tastes of the group, drawing from rich knowledge about all things supernatural and explaining Romanian traditions and beliefs incredibly well.
A brilliant spooky tour that led us past fascinating places and maybe a little too close to haunted buildings.

Got good meeting info on the day. Tudor was a good, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Stop and talked at various places about local folklore, witches, vampires etc. More factual and less gimmicky than other tours. Still interesting way to spend a couple of hours or so.

I have probably been on a dozen ghost tours in various cities and this tour was the best one that I have ever been on. Our guide, Tudor, was absolutely amazing and a fantastic storyteller. He was able to tie in stories and landmarks from stops at the very beginning of the tour to the legends told at the end of the tour. These full-circle moments were so cool and it makes you appreciate how unique Romanian folklore and myths are.

This was the best ghost tour I’ve ever been on! Tudor did an absolutely incredible job. He is a wonderful storyteller, and found a way to engage with everyone on the tour. He is kind, considerate, and obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I would recommend everyone to join this tour, and I would love to do it again! Thank you, Tudor!

Tudor did a great job giving us some background on Romanian funeral traditions before taking us to a series of interesting locations with cool stories. I had a good time. Thank you, Tudor!
Amy_P, Feb 2026
We had a great time on the tour. Our guide is knowledgeable with local history, and told us tons of very interesting stories and personal tidbits relating to Romania spiritual and cultural practices. I definitely recommend this tour.
Erin_G, Jan 2026
I really enjoyed learning about the folklore in the Romanian culture and additionally, the traditions surrounding their funeral practices. Tudor was an excellent guide and is so knowledgeable about all of the mythological beings. My favourite part was definitely the stories related to the 3 houses (Devil's house, Poltergeist house and Cat's House) super creepy

Bogdan was amazing, he was fascinating, funny and we were completely hooked the whole tour!......

3 1/2 stars, rounded up.
A disappointing ratio of walking to talking; most of the sites visited were irrelevant to the stories and not particularly interesting. The stories themselves were well-told.
Nichola_T, Dec 2025
If you love all things spooky and unusual, this is for you! Our guide Rareș was fantastic: so knowledgable and told the stories in such an interesting way. Would absolutely recommend, but wrap up warm if you go in the winter like we did!
Damian_B, Dec 2025
If you want a history of Romanian cultural stories and myths, this is definitely the one to do. If you want to learn more about the history of vampires, ghosts, witches, this is the tour for you.
Hansel_T, Nov 2025
Tudor was a great storyteller. He educated is about real vampires with a recent news story in the early 2000s. The last story about the boarding school sent me chills.
Christy_C, Nov 2025
Ali was an amazing tour guide! She was full of incredibly facts about Romanian culture. She had personal stories from her family that were intriguing and so unusual! The mix of religion and superstition in Romania is fascinating!
We went to areas of the city that we never would’ve ventured into without a tour guide. We learned how to ward off the evil eye, and to spot someone that has been transformed into an evil spirit!
We enjoyed it so much that we’ve been telling everyone about our tour
It was spooky fun!
MICHAEL_K, Nov 2025
Excellent tour about Romanian ghost and witchcraft tradition. Lots of interesting stories, some abandonet buildings and places
Victoria_h, Nov 2025
Really interesting insight, not just into ghosts and mythology but into how Romania treats death, ghosts, witches and vampires. Excellent and engaging.

Gabriela is a great tour guide. Lots of stories with a personal touch. She was funny and definitely knew her history.
Emma_B, Oct 2025
Bogdan was very knowledgeable and a great guide, provided us with historical/ scientific facts as well as the supernatural explanation. Have come away with a good film list recommendation!
