    The local tour operator Rolandia were great. Really responsive and answered all our questions promptly. All hotels were of a high standard and in great locations. The tour itself was beyond expectations, and our guide Claudia was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday this probably isn't for you but if you want to see as much as possible in a short space of time then this trip is perfect. We even got to see some wild bears!

  • Transylvania Castles tour in 4 days from Bucharest reviewer 3
    · August 17th, 2025
    The itinerary was full of geographic, cultural and food variety. We loved eating at diverse places, some with local families, some in amazing restaurants. The scenery was breathtaking and the history very interesting. Our guide Ioana was a lively lady with knowledge of history and good driving skills. She made us feel like family. She looked after us making sure our accommodation was appropriate and negotiated starting times according to our needs. Overall the tour was an incredible experience. We believe Romania is a best kept secret. Go see it and experience discovering it! The only drawback was that the tour price did not include many of the meals or entry fees to places so we had to have cash in hand for these because also some places didn't take credit card or Euros.

    We booked a personalized tour and everything was beyond expectations. Taking into account that we were traveling with a small child, the operator made sure we always had a restaurant near our accommodation and every activity was child-friendly. Would definitely recommend!

    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

      If I'm the only one on the tour, would the itinerary be flexible? I've already visited Peles, Bran Castle and Brasov, so can we modify the route?

      Private tour price would be €2,100. If you've already visited Peles, Bran Castle, and Brasov, we can remove them and re-route north around the Cluj area while keeping the rest of the locations.
