Step back in time on a fascinating journey through Romania’s complex history with this small group tour to Târgoviște, a city once at the heart of Wallachian power and later a defining site in the fall of communism.

Stop 1: The Former Military Garrison (Ceaușescu Execution Site)

Visit the stark and powerful location where Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu were tried and executed on December 25, 1989. The site includes the military tribunal room and the execution yard, preserved as part of a museum that offers a sobering look at the final days of Romania's communist regime. Your guide will provide historical context to help you understand the events leading up to this momentous turning point.

Stop 2: The Princely Court of Târgoviște.

Explore the remnants of a medieval stronghold that once served as the royal residence of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula). Discover the Chindia Tower, royal palace ruins, and orthodox churches that echo the grandeur of 15th-century Wallachia.

My tour guide George was an amazing guide for this. He gave so many interesting facts and historical knowledge of all the sites we visited. The military museum has much more history in it besides the trial and execution it was very good. I expected that to be the highlight for me but the old palace and tower somehow stole the show. Don’t miss out on this if you’re in Bucharest

The tour guide we had Sebastian lead absolutely fantastic ! Explained the entire story of Vlad the impaler to us in a way we could all easily understand. This is the real residence of Vlad ( not a tourist trap like Bran castle ) . We had a nice lunch together at a local restaurant and also seen the sight of where the former president Ceausceau and his his wife were executed . The entire story is fascinating and eye opening to the struggles romania has endured . Definitely take this tour if you’re visiting Romania !!! You won’t be disappointed!

As hotelier proffesionals is difficult to find good touring companies to work with and to be sure the guest's satisfaction is maximum. But they are doing a great job, with passion and enthusiasm. We checked this new tour to Targoviste, as the other tours to the Carpathians became hard to do seeing the huge holiday traffic. We've been surprised to see the royal court, citadel and church with so many hundreds of years of history and crazy stories, which Seastian was so happy to share. Also the last comunist dictator's execution place inside a military unit, was part of pur visits....a thrilling one. But that's the history... Great tour, great company! Keep it up!

The best tour ever....it's very good to find out the history of Dracula, but also everything about communism in Romania and also to see their execution place. Sebastian was a great guide. I highly recommend the tour.

Learning some history and seeing the small towns of Romania. Romania is a very beautiful country. My guide (Serban) was very friendly and helpful. He made an extra stop for me that wasn't on our itinerary. It was a great tour.
