Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this tour so affordable?
Romania has a lower cost of living than Western Europe. The price reflects local market rates while the quality of the experience is world-class.
Is Bran Castle really Dracula's castle?
Bram Stoker's description of Castle Dracula closely matches Bran, though there is no definitive historical link to Vlad the Impaler. The legend and the castle atmosphere are equally compelling.
