Overview

With Mysterium Tours®, spend approx. 2-hours exploring the exterior of the Buda castle district by night and listen to gruesome historical facts and the bloody side of Hungarian history in the XV-XVII century, and learn the myths of Vlad Dracula and Elizabeth Báthory, once your Storyteller will reveal the despicable actions of these two mad figures, all along with vampire stories of the 19° century.

Away from the crowds of Pest, this informative and entertaining tour, guided by a professional actor in period costume, takes you to some of the charming, magical places of the city: the Buda castle courts.

Note that Mysterium Tours does NOT craft typical guided tours for tourists, these are immersive storytelling experiences about legends, histories, and tales not always associated with the building we stand in front of.

Joe was an amazing guide he is fantastic at delivering the stories of Hungary's past and the all the folklore and legends. He is very captivating to listen too and so funny as well! My friends and I had a wonderful time and want to thank Joe and La Vacanza Travel for such a great night.

Fabian told some pretty creepy stories. Our group had so much participation. Be advised you hike up to the castle and walk all over the grounds.

Learning about the development of the caves, the residents below, how long and deep the caves were & how they became bomb shelters during the war with shafts for ventilation. As we walked through the caves our guide pointed out specific locations above ground to orient us. This tour was fun, exciting & very unique. Would highly recommend.

Our storyteller, “Joe” was absolutely brilliant! He was professional, polite and very funny. As a storyteller myself, it was a joy to just stand back and watch (and listen! Most of all, listen) a fellow performer not only tell his vampiric tales with aplomb and knowledge. Joe also listened to every question and handled them with courtesy and friendliness. The tour starts from the Zero Kilometre Stone and goes up the stairs to the castle stopping outside Matthias Church. Joe did say that if you wanted or needed to you could use the funicular, which I thought was a very decent thing to do. None of our party needed to use it as we could all make the stairs, but this would useful to know for others who may need it in the future. I’ve been inspired to base my next podcast episode on one of the tales Joe told, and my wife now wants to make one of those goose-spirits so it can do everything around the house! A very fun evening and definitely should be on your ‘To do’ list in Budapest.
