ROMANIA · TOURS
Almost everything worth doing in Romania is a day trip: out of Bucharest into the mountains, out of Brașov into the forest, out of Cluj to the salt. These 15 are the ones that come back with the best verdicts, with prices and running times attached.

One guided day from Bucharest to Peles Castle, Bran Castle, and Brasov Old Town, with scenic stops and time to explore.
“If you’re looking for a tour that’s just a checklist of pretty places, this isn't it. This was so much more. Our journey through Romania’s iconic castles wasn't just sightseeing, it was a moving, immersive experience that left an imprint on the heart. From the moment we boarded the bus, it was clear we were in expert hands. Our tour guide Petru, was an absolute gem. He was hilarious, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just recite dates or facts; he told stories. Stories full of passion, pride, pain, and resilience. Through his words, we felt Romania’s turbulent past come alive. You could feel Petru’s deep love for his country…”

“I was the only person on the trip which made it feel like a private tour, which is not for everyone. Entry to Bran castle is mandatory and should have been mentioned in the booking otherwise the trip is pointless and this could have been done easily without taking a tour guide. I enjoyed the trip but the guide not sure.”

A fun tour with a great guide and driver!”
