Small-group 4-day Transylvania castles tour from Bucharest, hitting Peleș, Bran, fortified churches, and medieval towns.

“Beware of "Guaranteed Departure" with Rolandia! I signed up for this 4-day tour and paid for it in advance specifically because as a solo traveler, guaranteed departure was important. At no time during the booking and paying process was any minimum number of people listed or cited. Relying on that, I then reserved non-refundable hotel rooms for the nights before and after the trip.”

“A great tour. We combined it with 2 days in Bucharest either side and it was a fascinating comparison. You really do have to get out in the countryside to see the real Romania. George is patient, knowledgeable and we felt in safe hands at all times. He chose some interesting places to eat and stay and was good with my 3 teenagers. The tour is a nice mix of visiting historic places, towns and churches, and is conducted at an easy pace. Our mini van was comfortable and George's driving is smooth - so much so that my kids spent a lot of our time on the road asleep!…”

Private 4-day Bucharest to Budapest trip via Transylvania, from Peleș and Bran castles to UNESCO towns and Timișoara, with a pro guide.

“This tour was one of the best my family has ever taken. It was quite an adventure as we had our twenty-three-month-old with us, but Emanuel was super patient as we navigated long car rides with the little one. He was very informative and the perfect tour guide for all the places we visited, plus he was prompt and efficient. He also provided great advice for us on how to tailor our itinerary around our small child, which ensured everyone involved had a great time. Definitely recommend for families as well as friend groups, as we had some friends along for the journey, too. 10/10 stars!”

4 days through Transylvania from Bucharest, with Peles, Bran, medieval towns, Saxon villages, Corvin Castle, and possible Transfagarasan road views.

“We had an amazing honeymoon thanks to Silviu! He was so knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and just overall a great guy. He introduced us to so many amazing traditional Romanian food and drinks from Țuica, Pălincă, and Fetească to Mici and Tochitură. Silviu got us a great guide at Corvin Castle that gave us the full history of the castle and John of Hunedoara. It was like a episode of Game of Thrones (when the writing was good). Silviu says we lucked out with her because they aren’t always around to give tours. One of the benefits of going on the offseason is you really get a more personalized experience. Silviu…”
