    Our driver and guide was Florin Gheorghe with whom we traveled over a 5 day period. He was an excellent tour guide. He is a kind, understanding, approachable and thoughtful person. He made our trip both enjoyable and memorable. He went out of his way to tell us about local cuisine and where to experience them. The selection of hotels was good with close proximity to the old towns. The tour kept to schedule and was very comfortable. We recommend Florin Gheorghe and Tourradar to anyone.

    Tour Details
    • Business Trans ProtocolOperatorWritten July 2025

      The itinerary is designed to be comfortable and enjoyable, with moderate daily driving times — typically between 2.5 to 3.5 hours per day, broken up with scenic stops, historical sites, and free time to explore. The total driving distance across the 4 days is approximately 750–800 kilometers, depending on final pickup/drop-off arrangements. This tour is absolutely suitable for teens — it's a great mix of cultural exploration, medieval castles, nature, and engaging stories from Romania's past. There are also opportunities to stay active with short walks through citadels, forest paths, castle grounds, and old town areas. It's not physically demanding, but it's far from a passive bus ride!

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Which is the best hotel to stay at in Bucharest with the latest pickup time on Monday morning. What time will we arrive in Bucharest on Thursday please?

    • Business Trans ProtocolOperatorWritten July 2025

      Our standard pickup time is around 08:00 AM. However, if that feels a bit early, we're happy to arrange pickup at 09:00 AM instead. Most of our guests choose: Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Old Town, Moxy Bucharest Old Town. For the return on Thursday, we usually arrive back in Bucharest around 5:00–6:00 PM, depending on traffic. Popular options near the airport include: Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Airport (just a 5-minute walk to the terminal), Vienna House Easy by Wyndham Otopeni (offers free airport shuttle).
