What people love about Romania Tours from Bucharest
- Halloween in Transylvania 2025 | 8 day tour and Halloween party at Dracula Castle
Our tour guide Lorenz was very knowledgeable. He gave us a wealth of information. He was both personable and super helpful. He went out of his way to try to accommodate all of us. However, I was so disappointed that we di not receive our private tour of Bran Castle! That was our whole reason for spending time in Romania and Halloween in Transylvania. Julian from Rolandiia took it upon himself to book us to see a Bear Reserve instead! That should have been an optional tour for those who were interested as I was not. That took out over 3 hours which left us no time to tour the castle or walk around the town. Time management needs to be addressed. Too much is packed into a day and there was entirely too much time on the bus. We would get into a town at 6 pm and leave the next day at 9 am! If Julian was there to take photos for his company. He should have adhered to our original schedule and not throw in extra outings to accommodate his agenda. Also, there is no need to visit the salt mines or the communist leaders home. There are many more beautiful sites in Romania. I am very disappointed that I lost out on our private tour of Bran Castle. The highlight of our trip was sacrificed without our input to see Bears.
- Private Romania UNESCO 7-Day Tour
The tour was awesome. My guide Marius was friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful time in Romania and the best way to see it is to go with the Classic Romania Tour, just like we did. The hotels were great and our tour guide was awesome, such a knowledgeable guy who'd grown up in the country side so he provided us many interesting stories about rural life in Romania. Totally worth it!
