About this trip

Divinely selected places have secrets and mysteries within them that cannot be explained. They are found around the world in the most obscure corners. Hand-picked extraordinary places have been curated so that you can divulge into their wonder. With awe, we will then explore them … together. 


Mysterious Adventures Tours is proud to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Romania, in celebrating the birth dates of two Vampiric Masters ... Bram Stoker and Vlad Tepes III (The Impaler), both born on November 8th! 


“I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome …  to my house.
Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula


Almost entirely due to Dracula, Romania has long been associated with horror and darkness. Just the name Transylvania conjures up an image of romantic darkness. Deep valleys, beautiful mountains, and a legacy of death. If any country is haunted, Romania is. Imagine tracing the steps of Vlad Tepes III Drăculea, The Impaler. 


On this tour, we dedicate our explorations and honor Bram Stoker (The Author) and Vlad Tepes III (The Impaler), both born on the same day of November 8th. 


James Annitto, whose demonology and paranormal investigation skill will take this experience to another level, will guide you through this magical trip! Our group will start in Transylvania and follow secret trails of Romania. Be introduced to Romania’s most historically haunted, many a significant part of Vlad's journey through his life.

It was a fantastic trip. I went with my husband and the rest of our trivia team, and we had a blast meeting everything, eating delicious food and wine, and touring gorgeous location after gorgeous location while learning about the history and hearing spooky stories. We especially enjoyed the dinner and party inside Bran Castle. It was probably the most fun we've ever had. We also really enjoyed our fireside Halloween with mulled wine and snacks and spooky stories. Our local guide Vlad was perfection. Sarah was a friendly face, problem-solver, and she made sure communications were clear, and everything ran smoothly. We enjoyed Aaron's insights about the paranormal and had fun at our first investigation. I highly recommend this tour!

I can not begin to describe this Greece Tour. It was so much more than I ever thought possible!! The ancient ruins, to the people, the energy and beauty of what we got to experience. What I was not expecting was how spiritual this tour became for me. I would return in a heartbeat! If you get the opportunity to go to Greece with Maria’s Mysterious Adventures Tours in the future, you will not be disappointed. I feel like I left a part of me back there. Maria, you truly outdid yourself! Thank you isn't enough to express how I feel!

What a wonderful vacation a true magical experience!!!!! The connections, the spirituality - truly life changing. In addition, the travel experiences, all the places we got to see and experience. A HUGE shout out to Maria and her team, and especially her Greek team (Dimetra, Helena and Katherine) that put so much thought and intention into everything. Every day I was blown away by the history, culture and stories for Greece! Our hosts: Grant and Reanna Wilson were SO genuine and involved. They were a part of ALL our adventures. Hands on and with us every step of the way. Their kindness and generosity added to the experience. I loved every second and went on this tour of Greece not knowing what to expect - I left with over 20+ new friends that I know will be friends forever. I’m forever changed - if you’re on the fence of making a decision to go on one of these tours, don’t wait - BOOK!!! You will love it.

Greece was a life changing experience for me and my fellow travels. Mysterious Adventure Tours went above and beyond in the planning of this trip. From the knowledgeable tour guides to the historical places, we saw. Would highly recommend this trip for next year.

Honestly, I don't think there are enough words to describe the joy I felt on this trip. This trip has set the standard high for the rest of the trips to come. I definitely would have wanted to spend more time in Transylvania, especially in Bran, and more than one night in the Hoia Baciu forest and Corvin castle. Maybe even spend the night in the forest. :) Seeing Nevermore was an awesome treat for our first time in the Carpathians. I am hoping that the next time this trip comes up that Vlad Tepes' castle is open for us to investigate. I would have loved to have gone higher and further into the Carpathian mountains - further near the summit. The bed and breakfast in Bran - Villa Siana - was the chef's kiss. I wish we could have spent more time there just to sit by the fireside and share more stories. What can I say about Katrina and Vlad? Again, I'm an articulate person, but I can't think of what to say that would encompass their passion and generosity they shared this entire trip. I REALLY WANT TO SEE KATRINA BE OUR TOUR GUIDE AGAIN IN IRELAND NEXT YEAR. (hint, hint, wink, wink) She was so sweet, and had to put up with those of us (namely, ME) who wanted to linger a little longer to soak in the experience. Vlad was phenomenal, intelligent, knowledgeable, fun, exciting, encouraging... I wish he could go to Ireland with us, too. I think the only disappointment I had was the experience at Bran castle. It felt too much like we were being shoved through an attraction at Disneyland. I know that it is a popular attraction around Halloween, especially with the party going on. I was under the impression that the dinner and party would be in the castle and not outside of it. At least that's the impression I got from the description. The food was phenomenal. I didn't bring back enough chocolate or palinka! Thank you all for this memorable trip and the new travel family I have. Heather PS. Our bus driver had some mad ninja driving skills for the places he took that bus and how he could turn it around. And I do miss having Alle in our faces with the his camera. IT felt like having a personal photographer around. It would be nice if he came to Ireland as well.
