Halloween in the land of Dracula

Bram Stoker’s Dracula „The love never dies”. You will have the opportunity to discover where the legend of Dracula told by Bram Stoker comes from and go on the Prince’s footsteps in Romania.

For the first two monetary emissions, Vlad II used his emblem, the dragon, therefore, the Romanians whose word stock is mainly Latin, nicknamed him Dracul – Dracula (from Latin Draco – onis). In Romanian Drac means Devil. This nickname turned into surname for his descendants, Vlad III, his son being known as such. Vlad Tepes (the Impaller), being the son of Vlad Dracul, one of the most important landlords of Valachia, ruled Valachia from 1456 and nowadays he is known also as Price Dracula.

  • The "Halloweenest" costume and mask will again be rewarded, and those who could guess who the Count was - under his disguise - will receive a full tour, free, at choice. See, the problem is to survive this night (highly unlikely) and enjoy the prizes.

Что Говорят о нас

Это лишь краткое примечание, чтобы вы знали, насколько мы с женой, 10-летним сыном, наслаждались нашим 5-дневным путешествием по Трансильвании на прошлой неделе с г-жой Викторией Одобеску в качестве нашего гида. Поездка была замечательным опытом - во многом благодаря тщательному планированию, организации и креативности г-жи Одобеску.

Мы были на многих турах в прошлом, но этот был безусловно самым восхитительным и познавательным. Мы запомним это надолго. Госпожа Одобеску - непревзойденный профессионал и заслуживает признания. Я обязательно порекомендую вашу туристическую компанию друзьям и близким.

Кристина,

Спасибо за прекрасный отпуск. Твоё знание своей страны и языков невероятно. Я наслаждался каждой минутой! Наилучшие пожелания тебе и твоей семье, Боб.
