Summer “Dracula Tour” to Transylvania begins today

[Chiller Chucky]

Today, the summer version of “Dracula Tour,” a “vampire vacation” to
Transylvania, makes its annual pilgrimage to the un-holy land. Dracula
and Vlad fans & followers will spend one week following in the
footsteps of Jonathan Harker from Bran Stoker’s “Dracula” novel,
exploring the history, the legends, the myths and the lore.



"DraculaTour” is billed as the only true fully-escorted “vampire
vacation” professionally organized by fans especially for fans.
Travelers experience the definitive vampire-themed adventure with
fellow fans, friends & fiends of the macabre on a vacation that is
scary, sexy, spooky, campy - but most of all - fun for all ages! The
group departs JFK airport in New York today and returns July 16. The
next planned vampire vacation travels from the U.S. on October 27th
and returns on November 3rd, so that participants spend their
Halloween celebration in Dracula’s Castle. These trips to
Transylvania, in Romania, are presented by Tours of Terror, who also
host "Weekend of the Witch" (to Salem), and also the annual “GHOSTour
Week of Horrors” (to England and Scotland).



There is both educational and entertainment value as the tour includes
historical Bran Castle, Clock Tower, the Black Church, Vlad’s
birthplace, Vlad’s castle (also known as Dracula's fortress) and also
the monastery where Vlad is buried. It’s the perfect combination of
fun and fear, for anyone looking for an unusual weeklong ghoulish
getaway. Vampires, vampire fans and even vampire slayers are welcome,
and all get along harmoniously.



The highlight of the “Dracula Tour” is undoubtedly spending a night
inside Dracula’s Castle. All travelers dress in their best costumes,
eat a lavish meal, experience a “vampire” show, descend to the dungeon
of the castle where “the coffin” lies waiting, dance to appropriate
macabre music (everything from “The Monster Mash” to music from “Rocky
Horror”), partake in a moonlit bonfire and simply have the times of
their lives ... even if they’re part of the undead. Every year, one
couple takes the experience one step further -- they get married
during the trip with their ceremony and reception at Dracula's Castle,
and all the fellow travelers are guests at this unique wedding!
Whereas most couples kiss after their cake-cutting ceremony, the bride
and groom bite each other’s necks (lovingly, of course).

Days are spent sightseeing and nights are filled with howling parties,
film screenings, bonfires and surprises.



This professionally-guided, fully-escorted tour is ideal for the
single traveler, but also is well-suited for couples and even
families. If you're the type who would enjoy dressing up (or down) for
a masquerade ball in Dracula's Castle, or if you can imagine have a
blood-suckingly great time partying under a full moon in a land that
time forgot, this is the tour experience of a lifetime.

double occupancy. Package price includes round-trip airfare from the
NY metro area, deluxe hotel accommodations, meals, transfers, luxury
coach ground transportation, all events - parties – any guest
