A Real and Authentic Tour of the Dracula legend

I only had a few days in Bucharest, so I booked this trip to get the "real" Dracula experience visiting some authentic sites involving Vlad Dracula. I had an absolutely wonderful time with the tour guide Claudia, who from the time I was picked up at my hotel to drop off gave me a full education on the history of Vlad Dracula including his father. This really gave me an appreciation for the sites visited, especially Poenari Fortress. There is a lot of driving from Bucharest but the sites are worth it. And like I said, Claudia was such a pleasure to talk to, so the full day went by quickly. I walked away with a greater appreciation for Romanian legend and even modern Romania's current socio and economic state. Note, we did stop a few times for toilets and snacks as well as one lunch stop at the base of the Poenari Fortress, so no need to bring a packed lunch if you want to wait. I will caution that the hike up to Poenari is about 1400 steps up and incline for the most part, so definitely be ready for this physical feature before signing up for this tour. Overall, give Claudia and her tour a shot, you won't regret it!
Fantastic outing!

What an amazing experience. Sebastian, was our contact and guide for the experience. From the moment we booked, Sebastian was in contact with us to go over the itinerary and kept in touch until the time of our tour. We even needed a special accomodation to align with our holiday plans and it was easily planned and managed. There was no hidden fees or gotchas. The morning we left he was already at the hotel and waiting. The vehicle was clean and it great condition with plenty of space. Going into our trip he made sure we were comfortable, and had adequate stops. While visiting the locations he was extremely knowledgeable, and gave plenty of history and facts with ease. We had no trouble with any language barriers and he made the day fantastic and memorable. Would definitely book his services again and highly recommend this company.
A nice day of history of Romania

The whole complex represents immense historical value for the nation. For fans like me then of the figure of Vlad the impaler and 'a place to visit absolutely. I also recommend to visit the attached park (with the busts of the other rulers) and still see the whole town of Targoviste. For Poenari Fortress you can read my specific review here: https://www.tripadvisor.it/Attraction_Review-g2554420-d565231-Reviews-Poienari_Castle-Arefu_Arges_County_Southern_Romania.html

The Royal court is amazing! Poenari Citadel is awe inspiring. Be ready to climb stairs. There is actually concrete stairs with railings for the walk. Highly recommend this tour.
