★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,589 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $35Our pick

From Bucharest, visit Peles and Bran castles, stop in medieval Brasov, and learn Dracula legends with English pickup on a full-day trip.

“Staff are very helpful and friendly. Learned alot about the history. The castles are well worth the visit. I wish the sight seeing stops had more time. Unfortunately I don't think that can improve until the infrastructure is better as a lot of time was spent in traffic, taking away from a better experience.”

“1st they changed pick up time from 8am to 730am on that morning by WhatsApp. We have to rush to the meeting point. When coming back, the tour guide sent other guests to their requested locations and wasted our 30 minutes or more time. I requested to drop off at near place to our hotel. He dropped us off a place and told us it is about 200 meter from our hotel. I was so moved and gave him good tips. After I got off the vehicle and turn on GPS, I noticed it’s about 1000 meter to the hotel and took us about 20 minutes to walk to hotel.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,154.55

4 days from Bucharest to Transylvania's castles and fortified towns, with an English guide, hotel nights, breakfasts, and entrance fees.

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 31 reviews · 3 days · from $588

3 days through Transylvania’s monasteries, fortified churches, Sibiu and Sighișoara, plus Bran and Peles. Small group tour from Bucharest.

“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.”

We learned about the history and culture of the places we visited as our tour host drove, guided us, and explained what we were seeing all along the way. His tours of mountain sights, historic Peles and Bran Castles, ancient churches, as well as his suggestions for restaurants and even for local dishes in Brasov were excellent. We have traveled extensively all over the globe, but this was our first visit to Romania. We truly enjoyed our time exploring this rich and diverse country…”

“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.”
