Juliana
Joe was friendly, kind and an amazing story teller. He knew how to keep the audience captivated and together, since it was a walking tour, and he even made telling ghost / vampire stories funny. The only thing I would do differently is end with Dracula and then with his amazing summary linking all the stories to present day. In any case, it was really great and for those who like to be told stories, this was definitely a hit! It was a unique activity on our itinerary.

Starting point of the tour
Your tour starts from the meeting point at the Kilometre Zero Stone, which is located at the bottom of the Buda castle hill, by the funicular entrance (Clark Adam Square), a few meters away from the Chain Bridge (Buda side). If you wish not to walk up the hill, you can consider taking the funicular and meeting the group on top of the hill; in this case please inform us in advance.
