Private Transylvania day trip from Bucharest to Peles, Bran, and Brasov, with hotel pickup, an English guide, and time to explore.
“This tour covered the highlights of Transylvania and it was great to see the two castkes and Brasov. Our guide was more of a driver however and spent most of his time on the phone without providing much along the way. The car was older and couldn't run the AC while going thru the mountains as he said it was a 3 cylinder. Once at the sites, he did work the system to get us in for Pele Castle before the hoards and did help with some recommendations for unch and dinner. He did not provide an actual tour at the sites the way some did. We certainly had a…”
Two days from Bucharest through medieval Transylvania: Peles, Bran, Brasov, overnight in Sighisoara, then Sibiu. Guided small-group comfort.
“Great experience seeing some of the most picturesque towns in Romania. Lots of long hours on the road (slightly terrifying) but the views were outstanding and our guide Alex had so much knowledge to share. Alex was an amazing guide, so kind and patient, and completely professional. The castle tour was really nice (book your tickets online the day before because they sell out fast) and we absolutely loved all the little towns we visited! We’re already planning a return visit to Braşov, because that’s the easiest to get to by train and has the most to do, but I’d happily return to Sighosaura and Siubu, too. Highly recommend this…”
2 days in Transylvania from Bucharest, Peleș Castle, Brasov, UNESCO Sighișoara, and Bran Castle with hotel pickup, English guide, and small-group pacing.
“The sights and places you visit on this tour are enough reason to book it. We saw so many places and things that were so beautiful, it is impossible to put into words. Our tour guide, Boogie, was quite possibly the best tour guide we've ever encountered. The company scheduled the tour perfectly. There is so much to see in all of these places that it is impossible to see it all, but they showed us as much as time would allow, and we never felt rushed. I recommend this tour with great enthusiasm!”

“5 star! Our tourguide Mihai was the best. He is always punctual and very knowledgeable about Romania. We are very happy we did this tour and didnt regret one bit. We saw many nice places which we cant see if we explored by ourselves. I can only recommend a this private tour. It was worth it and we experienced a lot more than what we expected. Thanks Mihai. Best tourguide ever :”

“Our three days in Transylvania with Matthew were fantastic. It was a small group—just the two of us and another couple—which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide was an excellent driver, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. We saw some incredible sights just off the side of the road, and the forests were absolutely stunning. The castles we visited were impressive, and the towns of Sibiu and Brașov were really charming and full of character. Both hotels we stayed in were perfect—not too big, with very good breakfasts. Overall, the trip was great value, and we’re very happy with our choice.”
4 days from Bucharest seeing Peles, Bran, Corvin, and fortified churches, with a small English group and included lodging and entry.
“Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!”

“I found this tour online while searching for possible itineraries in Transilvania and I couldn't be happier! I am a tour guide so I'm extremely picky about my travel experiences and trust me when I say that this was just perfect! Our guide David was so knowledgeable and kind, had perfect time management and great attention to details. He was driving and guiding at the same time and did a great job! The locations are pretty far from each other so every day we spent quite some time on the road but it was absolutely worth it, also because David kept us entertained explaining all the history of the country…”
Three castles in Transylvania in one long day from Bucharest: Peles, Bran, Rasnov, plus a Brasov walk and Dracula history.
“Vi bestilte og betalte for en tur inkludert besøk på 3 slott. Rasnov var imidlertid stengt for renovering. Dette bør vere kjent for selger. Sterkt kritikkverdig å selge en tur som ikke samsvarer med reklamen. Vi ble svært skuffet.”
