Old Town's mysteries, legends and superstitions

User rating ☆☆☆☆☆

Dracula. A labyrinth of interconnected tunnels underneath the city. Ghost stories. Plenty of skeletons hidden in plain sight. The plague. A very amorous prince. Kinky prostitutes. A king with a taste for the occult. The eternal horrible life of orphans. Crazy Balkan superstitions. All enriched with loads of historical information, fun facts and interesting observations, that will ensure you a great time during this tour. If you're bored of the same tour of a city center you probably had in any foreign city you've been to, than try this tour. Plus, our tour is great for kids. Or for your average not-interested-in-anything teen. The weird ideas, the oddity of other people`s beliefs and the superstitions of Romanians might just make it the perfect tour for your entire family.
