Tour of Romania
The old towns of each city were wonderful from the old architecture to the small shops around the corner. I was slightly disappointed of not being able to see the princely court in Bucharest do to it being under reservation and not being able to go to the Poenari fortress due to the bear population. Future travelers be warned there is a lot of walking during this tour, with some over rough terrain and Romania is surrounded by mountains and rolling hills so you should be in relatively good shape for this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Mrs. Farmer, Thank you for your review! We value your feedback as it helps to improve our services for future tours. We are glad that you have enjoyed your time in Romania with us!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
In the footsteps of Count Dracula: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does In the footsteps of Count Dracula cost?
+
Prices start at $985 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does In the footsteps of Count Dracula take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is In the footsteps of Count Dracula worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule In the footsteps of Count Dracula?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is In the footsteps of Count Dracula suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book In the footsteps of Count Dracula?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does In the footsteps of Count Dracula start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
