    This was the best private tour we've ever had! We signed up for a 5-day private tour of Romania with pickup and drop-off in Bucharest. Coordinating and planning with the tour operator (Active Travel) was straightforward and easy. We provided a list of our preferred destinations and the tour operator quickly put together an itinerary. We made a few tweaks and within only a few days from initial contact we were booked. In Romania, we were provided the perfect guide for the excursion. He (Charlie) arrived early to our hotel lobby and met us there as prearranged. He was immediately interesting and accommodating. Throughout our five days together our guide was educational and delightful. He was an excellent host for Romania. He provided lots of details about the country, its people, history, and current status. He also provided lots of details about each place we visited. He was patient, attentive, and always willing to do more. Regarding the accommodations arranged for us, they were all wonderful! Each hotel was centrally located, well appointed, and served breakfast. Overall we had a great experience with the tour operator and our guide! They made touring Romania safe, easy, and delightful!

    I had a great experience. Active Travel was very hands on and picked great sites to visit (historical and food). My guide's name was Charlie and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, professional, polite, and overall caring about the experience. He was willing to accommodate everyone. Again I had a great experience and would recommend this tour.

    Pam

    Asked on November 4th, 2025

    I am really interested in this tour. I know if I want to go the Halloween party at Bran Castle that will be extra. I noticed the party this year was on Saturday 1 November. Does this mean next year it will be on Saturday too - meaning 31 October. And if so could you secure the ticket or would it be up to me. Also would you be able to accommodate the fact I might not leave the party until 4am!

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Active TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      The Halloween Party will probably take place on October 31st next year, but please stay tuned to the official Bran Castle website for updates and online ticket sales. No problem at all if the party goes on until 4 a.m.! Just keep in mind that you'll probably miss the Sunday program. However, we can arrange a private transfer to Brașov for you at a cost of 60 euros.
