Review of a four-day private Transylvania tour from Bucharest, with castles, Saxon villages, UNESCO towns, local crafts, and mountain roads.

“Three of us just had an enjoyable tour with Stefan as our private guide. Our flight from Hong Kong is delayed for one day. However, Stefan and Mihai are able to rework out itinerary very nicely to catch up most important spots. Of course, I had to say Stefan drives very well. He is very considerate to make sure we see the best, we hear the story, we have good food, wine and ice-cream ! Transylvania got a lot to offer ... it's fresh air, history, churches and architectures. I personally enjoyed it much more than Bucharest city.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,154

Review of Rolandia’s 4-day Transylvania castles tour from Bucharest, with castles, fortified churches, medieval towns, hotels, costs, and practical tips.

“Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!”

Review of a four-day Carpathian trek from Brasov through Bucegi and Piatra Craiului, with mountain villages, local food, guides, and practical tips.

“I made the 4-day active tour as sole client with Bogdan as guide, who picked me up in his car and drove us to Magura. He also delivered me back at my hotel in Brasov at the end of the tour. . The routes followed tracks taking in the Curmatura and Grind huts and the rocky side of Piatra Craiului. I was very pleased with the routes we made although the tracks were often continuously steep in difficult forest trails, equally demanding on leg muscles both up and down. We typically made about 16 km and 600-800 m altitude in 5-7 hours. The weather was cool and occasionally damp. One…”

Explore Bucovina’s frescoed monasteries and Transylvania’s medieval towns on a private four-day Romanian tour from Bucharest.

We could see restoration in action of the stunning buildings, every inch painted inside and out and the difference between artists and artisans.

Review of a private four-day route from Bucharest through Transylvania, with castles, medieval towns, flexible transport, and Timisoara.

“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!”

Review of a four-day small-group tour from Bucharest covering Bran, Peles, Sighisoara, Sibiu, Corvin Castle, and Transfagarasan.

“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…”
