ROMANIA · ALBA IULIA TOURS
Good alba iulia tours fill up weeks out, and the best go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes, and where they genuinely differ.
An 8-hour guided day trip from Sibiu to Corvin Castle and Alba Iulia, with transport, English guiding, and time to explore.
“Florin was a great guide. loved his humour and very informative. Would recommend this trip to anyone :)”
Small-group day trip from Sibiu to Corvin Castle and Alba Iulia, with village stops and a Carpathian viewpoint plus hotel pickup.
“This was a fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. Florin was one to the best, most knowledgeable, and most thoughtful guides I have ever encountered in my travels from China to Peru. This was a private tour, and that was an excellent choice because we were able to see things at our own pace. We first went to Alba Iulia, an Austrian castle constructed on the ruins of a Roman citadel. Some of the Roman ruins are still visible. The castle is extremely beautiful, with two lovely churches - an orthodox church built in the 20th century of the coronation of KIng Ferdinand and Queen Maria, and a Catholic church…”
Day trip from Cluj to Turda Salt Mine, Rimetea and Alba Iulia with an English guide, hotel pickup, and a small group up to 7.
“I greatly appreciated this tour from Geta. From the beginning of the tour she was friendly, helpful and full of useful facts. Being that she was from the local area helped immensely. We started off the day at the Turda Salt Mine - very interesting tour about the origins of the mine. I even got to row around the mini lake in one of the mines. Next we drove to and stopped at Rimitea Village. It was very insightful to learn about the blended history of this quaint town. We drove a bit further to have lunch at a B & B with an authentic Hungarian atmosphere. I especially enjoyed…”
Sibiu day trip to Corvin Castle and Alba Iulia, with transport, an English guide, and time for photos and walking.
“Our guide was great (I do not remember exactly his name now, Frison?). He was right on time to leave, what is much appreciated. We had interesting conversations about Romanian culture, economy and social situation. While chatting you do not feel the time you pass sitting in the car. Without a car it would have been difficult to reach these two places, since they are out of the typical Romanian sites people want to visit. Big mistake, since both of them are quite impressive. So booking a tour is a good option. It takes a while to arrive and go back. There are also tours to Corvin Castle and Alba…”
Private 10-hour Transylvania tour from Cluj: Salina Turda salt mine, Rimetea village, and Alba Iulia fortress with an English guide.
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this trip! Everything was punctual, well-organized, and executed with top-notch quality. Every detail was perfectly in line with the program. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into the planning and delivery of the services. We felt completely taken care of throughout the journey. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable travel experience!”
Walk Alba Iulia Citadel with a guide, then taste four Romanian wines in Vinoteca HUGO’s medieval-style cellar.
“Exploring the Citadel was amazing! We had no idea of the importance it held in times past. Its construction was incredible! The buildings within were interesting but especially beautiful was Coronation Cathedral! The wine tasting afterwards was so fun! We learned so much but the setting was most memorable - the cellar tasting room decorated in medieval decor!”
Every kind of Romanian day out, and the pick of each.
