Charming gothic stories and way more!

Giuseppe_M, May 2023

Me and my partner loved the tour that Gabbi gave us! It was full of interesting stories alongside a clear and detailed description of the background and basis of the Romanian folklore. She also replied to every curiosity that we had and showed us the important details in some less known part of the city. Definitively recommended to be fascinated about a deserving culture such as the Romanian one! Mulțumesc Gabbi!!!

Enjoyable tour

Stella_C, May 2023

Had a great ghost tour. Our tour guide Bianca was very knowledgeable, full of information. The knowledge she passed on is still with me and I’m finding myself researching the ghosts she told us about which to me shows she made an impact. Would definitely recommend.

Alternative tour to learn history through ghost stories

Erik_S, May 2023

The guide was great and shared many stories. I think the stories could be a litttle more refined to be told in a scarier way. Other than that it was perfect.

Wonderfully spooky tour!

Renae_S, May 2023

My tour was given by Bianca who was fabulous! She was patient, knowledgeable, helpful and a wonderful storyteller. The tour featured a variety of tales including ghost stories, local religious beliefs and connotations, vampire legend, witching history and more. The locations were creepy and interesting and Bianca taught us about Romania's history too so this is a great tour to learn about Bucharest, no matter your beliefs. Really recommend! Thanks so much Bianca!

Perfect

It was very fascinating to hear about exorcisms, ghosts, vampires and visit some haunted houses (didn't go inside, obviously). Our guide Gabi was soooo good. She was very informative, answered all our questions about history and culture of Romania. She made this walking tour worth it! Highy Recommended!

Very nice tour

Ian_F, Oct 2019

The guide made this tours with her (i unfortunately cannot remember her name) stories, both historical and personal. She was able to tie everything in together regarding communism, spirits, and dracula. Bucharest can be a very creep place at night and this tour lets you experience it away from the tourist sites.

SPOOKarest!

Andrew J, Sep 2019

I joined this tour straight from arriving in Bucharest for the first time. It was a sublime intro. Our guide Valentina took us to some spooky parts of the city and told her tales enthusiastically in perfect English. Bucharest is a very atmospheric city with its mad mix of architecture including several horror movie-worthy old houses. The tour made great use of vibe and location. Afterwards, Valentina was happy to chat and give tips on other tourist activities.

Great tour!

Marie R, Sep 2019

The tour guide was excellent very accommodating as we arrived a little late and were just a party of two. She is very knowledgeable lots of detail including superstition, folklore and haunted houses - highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour ++++

Cheryl_T, Jul 2019

Very interesting tour. Our guide Katalina was very knowledgeable and really knows how to tell a story. The tour is not just about the supernatural but also incorporates true historal facts about Bucharest and offers insights as to how certain legends and traditions were born. Would definitely recommend this short tour for anyone visting Bucharest. Alot of information in a short time!

Great and fun

JeanPierre_S, Jul 2019

We took the tour last night and it was very nice and cool. I am romanian but I can assure you that I learned a few things myself.... Pretty awesome. The walk around the city was great. You will pretty much for sure, learn some new things about romanians and our culture. I really think it is worth it. Enjoy!!!

Great
