    I went searching for Dracula. Along the way, I found a beautiful country, warm people, and new friends. Our guide was terrific, teaching history along the way. It was a fun adventure. As to whether or not I found Dracula, I can only say, “Mayyyybe.”

    Tour was excellent! Very few deviations from schedule. Recommend that provided dinners include wider choices. Also, better use of limited time for exploring Transylvania might start in Cluj-Napoca (where there is an international airport), rather than way south in Bucharest.

    The trip was beyond amazing! Robert was the best guide I've ever had and truly made the trip one I'll never forget. We enjoyed the entire trip! Definitely fell in love with the country and will be back to see more of it. Thank you Tour Radar and Robert for making this trip one I'll never forget. Melissa and Trevor

    This was my dream vacation come true. I will treasure these memories forever. However, the Tour Radar brochure shows this tour is for people 7 - 90 years old. This is very deceiving. There is no way a 90 year old could do all the walking involved. This is a very intense walking tour and there is much walking every day. This needs to be specified. There would be very little wheelchair access along this tour. Additionally, Poienari Fortress has been closed for several years with no plan to reopen anytime soon. This attraction was one of the reasons I booked this specific tour. You need to remove it from the brochure. Again, it is very misleading. Also remove the Borgo Pass, as they do not go there. This was another attraction I wanted to see but did not get to. You may want to add to the brochure that there are several hotels that do not have air conditioning. All that being said I had the most wonderful time.

    • Transylvania Live Expert in TransylvaniaOperatorWritten July 2024

      Yes, you are right the tour does not includes the accommodation for last day. You can book a hotel on your own and we can drop you off there. If your flight is next day we recommend you a hotel in Otopeni, near the airport. For example Rin Hotel, also has a shuttle to the airport.
