A small-group 4-day Transylvania castles tour from Bucharest, visiting Peleș, Bran, Sighisoara, fortified churches, and more with tickets included.

“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.”

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!…”

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!”

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…”
