Review this 2-day Transylvania tour from Bucharest, visiting Peles, Bran, Brasov, Sighisoara, and Sibiu with an overnight stay.
“Our guide Nicu was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The experience was 100% worth it and the same quality of trip would be impossible without a guide. All the sights and locations we're beautiful and fascinating and the amount of information provided about the history of transylvania (but also Romania in general) was invaluable. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Despite the rough snowy weather that day, we had a great time with Florin visiting Peles and Pelisor castles, and since the weather wasn't permitting to go to Cantacuzino castle as planned, Florin suggested to take us to Sinaia Monastery instead. We have arranged online tickets in advance for the first 2 castles, as he suggested, so we had a smooth experience. I can say Florin is a GREAT guide! Very passionate, he knows his history and the history of the places we visited, always eager to explain and tell stories, answer all my questions and go above and beyond my expectations! And I also enjoyed him talking about his…”

Review of a 12-hour private Transylvania trip from Bucharest to Peles, Bran, and Brasov, with mountain scenery, castles, and practical tips.
“Very pleased with our driver/guide, the Mercedes van he brought, and his timeliness. We had an excellent day visiting castles and palaces, churches and restaurants. When the line at "Dracula's Castle" looked incredibly daunting (maybe an hour of more wait), he had us wait in line and then went to front to get us tickets. Then he got us in at the front of the line without the rest of line noticing. Would highly recommend this company and guide.”

“An amazing trip from Bucharest to Pelisor Castle, Brasov, and Bran Castle. Our guide Mihai, whose English is excellent, was extremely knowledgeable and shared wonderful information with us. Nicholaus, our driver, was safe, very pleasant, and also knowledgeable and eager to share information with us. The larger Peles Castle was closed for the month of November, but we enjoyed the smaller Pelisor castle. This was a long day trip, due to traffic, and we arrived in Brasov after dark. We loved the trip, however, and would recommend it to others.”
Review of a private Transylvania day tour from Brasov, including Peles and Bran Castles, guide service, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Sorin was our guide for the day. Sorin was punctual and professional. He drove very well and his car was comfortable. We first went to Peles castle, which was beautiful and as with most royal residences, opulent and replete with expensive decorations and furnishings. We toured the ground floor only (Basic Tour) and Sorin joined us. As such, he was able to give us interesting information as we walked around which helped it come alive a little more. We stayed here and had a wonderful cake and coffee in the cafe. We then moved on to have a lunch in a quiet restaurant situated by a lake which was very…”

Review of Rolandia’s four-day Transylvania castles tour from Bucharest, with Peles, Bran, Corvin, Sighisoara, Sibiu, hotels, and practical tips.
“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!”
