“My group of 10 friends had an amazing day with Florin as we traveled in our fantastic mini bus to Sighisoara and other highlights in Transylvania. What was so wonderful is that in the 10 hours we were with Florin, everything just evolved in spectacular fashion. Just trust Florin to lead you! He is amazing!!! We were paced at our own liking and never felt rushed. So, we were able to just “soak everything in” in this beautiful country. Florin has a library full of information in his brain and knows how to share it all without making you feel you are in a lecture. I am a travel agent…”
See Peles Castle, Brasov, Sighisoara, and Bran Castle on a well-paced two-day Transylvania tour from Bucharest.
“A good experience getting out of of Bucharest for a few days. Our guide Matthew did a nice job guiding and driving our small group around. He has a great attitude, is very knowledgeable he's well-educated and certified as a guide, and enthusiastic about showing others this unique part of the world. I would say that while Brasov and Sighisoara are nice, picturesque places, there wasn't much going on in either town aside from one or two unique historical sites. Dracula's home, while historic, is a pretty cheesy tourist trap. Bran castle, on the other hand, was interesting and the highlight of the trip. Peles castle more of a palace…”

Review of Cluj Tours’ Turda Gorge via ferrata: beginner-friendly climbing, mountain views, safety gear, transfers, and practical tips.
“It was the afternoon and evening after a rain, and it was absolutely stunning. Some fog was in the gorge, and the sunset was insane. Guide was super nice and had lots of knowledge for the trip and for surrounding areas. I would recommend being physically fit for this activity, as it was somewhat difficult at points. Climbing and hike was so cool.”
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.”

Explore Transylvania from Bucharest in three days, with Sibiu, Sighișoara, Bran Castle, Peleș, fortified churches, and mountain scenery.
“Our three days in Transylvania with Matthew were fantastic. It was a small group—just the two of us and another couple—which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide was an excellent driver, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. We saw some incredible sights just off the side of the road, and the forests were absolutely stunning. The castles we visited were impressive, and the towns of Sibiu and Brașov were really charming and full of character. Both hotels we stayed in were perfect—not too big, with very good breakfasts. Overall, the trip was great value, and we’re very happy with our choice.”
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!”
