Bernadette was great, we were worried about crowd size seeing it was likely to sell out being on a Saturday and not being able to hear the guide. The points where they talk to you don't really relate to the stories but still good to see the views from Buda and see the castle ground at night. Would definetly go on a tour again in a different city that Mysterium offers.

The Vampire Tour was absolutely excellent! Joe, our guide, was incredibly entertaining and brought the stories to life with his wit, humor, and deep knowledge of the supernatural history of the area. His storytelling skills were top-notch, perfectly blending eerie tales with fun facts. The tour was well-paced, with just the right amount of spookiness and charm. It was evident that Joe genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm was infectious. Whether you're a fan of vampire lore or just looking for a unique way to explore the city, this tour is a must! Highly recommended!
