Ali 5* Tour Guide - By far the best walking tour I have ever been on! It was just myself & my partner due to bad weather so it was very private. Ali our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & you could tell she had real passion for the history of Romania and its traditions. It was great being able to ask her lots of questions (my boyfriend being a history teacher he had quite a few). Nothing was a bother for Ali who was very happy to chat about the similar/different traditions found in Ireland/UK. We had visited the Museum of Communism earlier in the day so it felt like this tour was an enhancement on what we had learnt there. It was the perfect amount of spooky without being too much. I took a picture at one of the spots which seems to have a face in the window. At the end of the tour, Ali even walked with us back to the start spot & provided us with a restaurant recommendation. 5* would definitely do this tour again if in Bucharest.

A truly memorable experience - Ali took us on a mystical adventure in the beautiful snowy city. We listened to fascinating stories about strigoi, compared common superstitions and visited some spooky sites. I highly recommend this activity! It was great fun!

Spooky and interesting - Our guide, Ali, made this a truly memorable experience. Her knowledge of ghosts, witches, rituals and killers was second to none. She wove her own Romanian cultural experiences into the stories which made them real and relatable. Despite the snow being knee deep the tour still went ahead, the snow made the experience magical.

Cold and Thrilling - It was Cold and the moon was Shining bright - the stories Gabriela told were cold thrilling with warm flare of passion in the way she told the stores. Great time! Cold! Yet worth it ! It was our pleasure and learning about Romanian history in detail that Gabriela provided -brought the fear, cringe and curiousity that left us hungry for more information on Romania. Thank you Gabriella! 😌

Wonderful. - Ally, our guide was wonderful. The rain was relentless, but this did not distract her from her detailed and knowledgable stories. We learnt about vampyres, witches and tormented spirits. She also described more recent historical events under communism, which were fascinating. Would thoroughly recommend this tour with this guide. We enjoyed it so much, we didn’t realise we were soaked to the skin until it had finished!!

Intriguing and lovely - We enjoyed every bit of this. We were lucky enough to have an experience with no other guests, making it a very amiable evening. Gabriela was definitely knowledgeable and her passion and story-telling abilities are very infectious. She can have anyone intrigued for the entire time she's talking. It did not feel like a cold 2,5 hours due to this and it was just a lovely evening.

Costume - Ali the guide was fantastic- however the advert said the guide would be in costume… which was false. I am sad about this because it ruined the experience for me
