Peak weeks here are July, August and the days either side of Halloween, and the good ghost, legend and halloween tours go first. The 8 below are the ones to book, with current prices and what separates them.
A 3-hour Bucharest dark history walk to Bellu Cemetery, Revolution Square, and the stories behind communism, sex work, and a 1970s killer.
“Vlad is an excellent guide - so passionate, knowledgeable and caring. He presents fascinating facts and takes you to truly hidden gems. Highly recommend his tours if you prefer genuine knowledge over superficial talk. 10/10”
A small-group evening walk through Bucharest myths and ghost lore, with strigoi tales, exorcism stories, and free stops.
“Gabi was an absolutely fantastic host and this was a great activity for a group of friends to do in Bucharest. We can't recommend it enough.”
Haunted Bucharest walk with a live English guide, myth and vampire lore. 2.5 hours, $35, no haunted house entry, near National Theatre.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Tudor. He was very knowledgeable and told some great stories. We learnt a lot and had fun. Thank you so much! :)”
2-hour guided walk through Sighișoara UNESCO citadel, from Vlad’s birthplace to the clock tower, church on the hill, and towers.
“The walking tour was, simply, AMAZING! Best walking tour in Sighișoara and can't recommend it enough. A lovely, small, local company with two guides who are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to expertly teach you about the history of the citadel. Every question asked was answered, detours were made to answer specific questions for guests, and our guide was in no rush and even went over time to ensure we saw everything!! It was also incredibly sweet how all the locals knew each other as we walked around, our guide taking the time to say hello and vice versa. An absolute must if you want a truly in-depth tour…”
Walk Bucharest’s communist trail, from Unirii Square fountains to Palace of Parliament scale, then 1989 Revolution Squares with a private guide.
“Laura showed us the highlights of Bucharest, we had a great and fun experience. Starting at the center and the end at the Parliament with some good tips about local food”
A 3-hour Bucharest walk on Roma myths and truths, past an old slave market site, Cismigiu Park, and the Holocaust memorial.
“It was super interesting to get to know more about the history of Roma people in Bucharest and Romania. Mihail took a lot of time and communication was great. He also managed very well to educate about the topic without deepening the stereotypes, which I liked a lot. Since I didn't had time, I have not booked the workshop but I have seen the workshop and it looked fun as well. Best wishes and big thank you!”
A guided night walk in Hoia Baciu Forest near Cluj-Napoca, with ponchos and flashlights, folklore UFO stories, and a stop at Poiana Rotunda.
“The night tour through the Hoia Baciu forest was incredible! With the legends about the supernatural phenomena, this was exactly the tour we were looking for because it also touched on what could be explained, so it was a perfect blending of the two. Our tour guide Alex was amazing! The pace of the hike was perfect, even though I am out of shape. Somehow, Alex made walking through a dark forest in the middle of the night with a complete stranger not only safe, but actually peaceful and fun.”

“I've done similar tours to this in london, but this wasnt a patch on those. While it did show some interesting sights of the city I'd not seen before, I spent most of the time lost and looking at Google Maps for directions. Too often, clues would give direction like 'keep going', and you'd assume this to mean in a straight line, but I was lost and frustrated more than anything else. I'd also like to see an option built in to take short break of needed. I'm just grateful it wasnt expensive or I'd be asking for a refund.”
