“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!”

Offered to make stops along the way for pictures and knew great spots for pictures. Never made me feel uncomfortable asking questions. I highly recommend Cristian as a tour guide.”

He designed the tour to enable us to see the differences in the 15th century monasteries designed by Stephan I and his followers as well as a new monastery freshly painted. We could see restoration in action of the stunning buildings, every inch painted inside and out and the difference between artists and artisans. He taught us about the art, history and religion of the area, his passion contagious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the painted egg museum. Marius was extremely knowledgeable and worked to ensure we saw the most each day without overdoing it. And he…”

“This tour was one of the best my family has ever taken. It was quite an adventure as we had our twenty-three-month-old with us, but Emanuel was super patient as we navigated long car rides with the little one. He was very informative and the perfect tour guide for all the places we visited, plus he was prompt and efficient. He also provided great advice for us on how to tailor our itinerary around our small child, which ensured everyone involved had a great time. Definitely recommend for families as well as friend groups, as we had some friends along for the journey, too. 10/10 stars!”

“Our private guide NARCIS ARION was fantastic. My son hasn't stopped talking about him and what he learnt, and we are all following up with additional research into Romanian history and politics on Youtube. Narcis was flexible in his approach to what we would do and tailored things around what we liked as he got to know us. The hotels were all great location and the quality. The vehicle was very comfortable. We will have to go back as 4 days meant a lot of things we would have liked to have stopped and explored we just had to sadly drive by. What a wonderful country Romania is. My daughter…”

“We had an amazing honeymoon thanks to Silviu! He was so knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and just overall a great guy. He introduced us to so many amazing traditional Romanian food and drinks from Țuica, Pălincă, and Fetească to Mici and Tochitură. Silviu got us a great guide at Corvin Castle that gave us the full history of the castle and John of Hunedoara. It was like a episode of Game of Thrones (when the writing was good). Silviu says we lucked out with her because they aren’t always around to give tours. One of the benefits of going on the offseason is you really get a more personalized experience. Silviu…”
