3.Buda Castle District Vampires and Myths Night Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,830 reviews · 110 minutes - 2 hours · from $23

Explore Buda Castle at night with a costumed guide, hearing tales of Dracula, Elizabeth Báthory, folklore, and dark Budapest history.

“Absolutely loved this tour. The guide, Bernadette, was fantastic and really played her role as a vampire! The walk begins at the bottom of the Fisherman's Basilica hill and heads up to the Basilica itself, so if your planning on seeing that area at night wait until then as there are plenty of gorgeous photo opportunities along the way. There are no places to stop for the toilet or drinks along the way, worth baring in mind. As for the actual tour, it was full of brilliant tales and stories to take away. Fully recommend this to anyone looking for an evening of something different in Budapest.”

Viator did not notify us of this so having booked the trip back in October we feel short changed on our arrival to be told we only get a 30% discount when we book a river trip.”

“Susan was our guide. We had three other visitors with us. Two were from Scotland and one from South Africa. We're American. It was nice to meet them and share our travel experiences with each other. We were picked up and driven about 20 minutes outside the city. We got a nice history lesson of the area from Susan then stopped at our first winery. This is a small family owned operation and the owner could not have been nicer. ALL of the wines were very good.
