  • Halloween in Transylvania 2025 | 8 day tour and Halloween party at Dracula Castle reviewer 1
    · November 22nd, 2024
    This tour was on my bucket list as Halloween is my fav time of year, plus I love the vampire theme, but aside from that this tour was one of, if not THE best guided tours I've ever been on & I've been on at least 10. Romania is spectacular, SO beautiful! The itinerary was FAB, plus saw all things Dracula, where Vlad was born, where he was entombed, the castle, the Carpathian mountains, but also I think what made the trip so special was our guide, Laurentiu. He was fantastic, he's from Romania, grew up there, so much fascinating knowledge, was funny & easy on the eyes too! ;) But not only that he was always calm, cool & collected, very articulate speech & never rushed, made 4 a really relaxing & pleasant tour, he is just the best!

    Our tour guide Laurentiu (aka Lawrence) was amazing. He was equal parts informative and funny. Very easygoing and answered all our questions. The itinerary itself was good. I would definitely would have liked at least an entire day in Sibiu and Sighișoara at minimum and another whole day in Brasov. I would not mind if the tour was longer and the price would certainly be worth it. Romania is a much more beautiful country than I expected and I can’t wait to visit other parts!

    Our guide was great, the accommodations varied from good to OK, the towns we visited were very nice though some places were closed and we could not enter, the Halloween party was fun though I recommend having the “off day” be the following day. Overall had a great time! Romania is beautiful ❤️

    · November 11th, 2023
    Romania is wonderful and it was great seeing all the towns that we were able to. The group was an excellent size with 8 people. All of the places listed in the original tour itinerary were not visited and I never received an updated itinerary that 2 of the other guests on the tour received. It’s a very full schedule especially when taking into consideration the amount of traffic, so you’ll be sacrificing time somewhere, most often we chose to skip lunch and push on. I was disappointed about the day leading up to the Halloween party. We spent very little time in Sighisoara, so we were unable to eat at Vlads birthplace for lunch or see much of the town. Since we were on a Halloween tour I feel like there should have been more of an emphasis around Halloween related events. The tour guide and driver did their best to make sure we reached everything, but the schedule is impossible with the current traffic conditions. It was also the week that their schools try different things, so there was a large number of kids at a lot of the locations which added to wait time to get into places and while touring them. I did love Romania and I’m already planning to visit again. Partying at bran castle is a once in a lifetime event that everyone should do. Loved our tour guide Lorenzo, he had a lot of interesting information to share. I personally would of loved to hear more about local myths, but I did enjoy all the historical and personal stories. Can’t wait to visit Romania again!

      Would you recommend arriving 1 day earlier? Is there a way to book the same place i will be staying on the tour?

      If I don't get the insurance and for some reason I can't attend (illness etc) would I lose what I paid? And if I don't get the insurance at booking can I add it later?

    • RolandiaOperatorWritten February 2025

      There is free cancellation up to 15 days before the tour starts. Usually, insurance policies that offer a full refund in case of cancellation must be purchased at the time of booking. As far as I know, TourRadar allows you to add insurance directly to your booking.
