Bucharest · DRACULA'S TOMB TOURS

Private day trip from Bucharest to Târgoviște and Curtea de Argeș, English guide, hotel pickup, flexible stops.
“Description in the 'Overview' mentioned ... "Visit Târgoviște Fortress, among the most significant medieval monuments in Romania, with this tour from Bucharest. You'll see the royal court of Vlad the Impaler, visit the Golești Museum and the Boyar Mansion, and head to the city of Curtea de Argeș to see one of the prettiest monasteries in the country." However none of that was covered. When tour operator was contacted, he suggested fault of Viator (Viator wrote the wrong) text. I felt cheated out. Whoever's fault it is ... tour operator or Viator ... it's not fair at all for a visitor.”

Small-group Bucharest day trip to Unirea Salt Mine, Casa Seciu winery lunch, and Snagov Monastery, including Dracula’s grave.
“Honestly think this was an overpriced tour with nothing included for the price. Only one big thing was the salt mine and that is only reason why giving it two stars. As far as our tour guide? Not happy! He barely spoke and most of the time, we would ask something just to engage in a conversation. Over 15yrs of using Viator tours and have to say this was the first time we encountered a tour guide who barely talked.”
