    My husband and I took the Transylvania Castles tour in 4 days from Bucharest May 22-25, 2025. Our tour guide was Anne, and we were the only two tourists on the trip! Anne is a terrific guide, from explaining the complex history of the region to giving us recommendations about good places for vegetarians to find food and things to do during the evenings. The hotels we stayed in were interesting and very central to the towns we visited. Rolandia Tours office was very responsive to my questions and resolved minor issues promptly. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Transylvania.

    Me & my fiancee have just recently returned from our 4 days Transylvania Castles Tour of Romania , which we thoroughly enjoyed, we were accompanied by our very knowledgeable and expert guide George Buliga, George took the time to show us the best parts of romania including places like Sibiu, Biertan, Sighisoara, Alba Iulia, Brasov etc. George also took the time to explain the history behind the towns and cities we visited, nothing was to much trouble. The accommodation throughout the tour was good the 3 main hotels which are , The Atria, Hotel Mecure, Continental Forum, all had great rooms and offered lovely Continental breakfast with a variety to choose from. The tour itself was at a good pace you never felt that you were rushed and got decent time to see places between visits. A big thank you to George Buliga for showing us his great country Regards Lee & Sarah

    Tour hotels great, transportation very nice, and tour guide very knowledgeable-well worth the expense. Hotels had ambiance, great views, a nice breakfast, in city centers.

    We had a wonderful experience traveling in Transylvania, Romania. TourRadar's offers were plentiful. We were glad we chose Rolandia as a local tour agent. There were only three of us on this tour. Our guide, Emil Barbulescu was wonderful. He is a knowledgeable guide and a very responsible driver. I would definitely advise! Our second trip was booked through Tourradar, and we are very pleased with them. Sergei Schwartz

    Asked on November 27th, 2024

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      I would need to book 2 extra nights in Bucharest because of flights to and from Bucharest from Manchester, UK...the night before the tour starts, and the night the tour ends..I can't see an option to do this. Do you just tell me the name of the hotel and I book independently?

    • RolandiaOperatorWritten November 2024

      We just checked, and it appears that you found the option for the extra night in 3 on the booking page. Add extras. The price for an extra night is 99 Euros, and we are using centrally located hotels 3*, including breakfast.

    Christine

    Asked on October 22nd, 2024

    I am interested in booking this tour but wanted to inquire about the meal situation for the trip to properly budget. The page indicates that meals are covered but the drop-down states that it only covers one lunch and all breakfasts. This is fine of course, I just want to make sure I put aside enough money to cover for additional meals and perhaps if you could give an estimate on the average cost of those meals it would be very helpful.

    Meals
    • RolandiaOperatorWritten October 2024

      For this tour, we have included lunch and breakfast. To make a proper budget, please consider that a meal (a main course) is about 10-14 Euros, while a bottle of water is 1 Eur and beer is about 2 Euros.

    • C

      Christine

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      When you say you include lunch, do you mean the one provided lunch according to the itinerary or did it change to all the days of the trip? Just wanted to clarify!

    • RolandiaOperatorWritten October 2024

      Only one lunch is included, the one according to the itinerary.

    • C

      Christine

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      I have one other question regarding this tour, when can I expect to arrive back in Bucharest at night? I am hoping to catch a train at 20:30 that night if possible. Do your tours usually get back that late?

    Asked on July 31st, 2024

    I'm interested in the 4 day Transilvania tour for 1 person. I believe it's 880 something for one person. My question is do I need to arrive a day before the tour and book my own accommodation or does my tour start the moment I land to Romania

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • RolandiaOperatorWritten July 2024

      Our tour starts at 09:00 AM, and you have two options: to arrive a day earlier or plan your flights to arrive on the same morning before 09:00. Please be aware that we are doing the pick-up only from the city centre.
