Great tour with Elena
This is one of the best tours I’ve done in Romania. Elena was a great guide, very personable, and was very organized. She really made the history come alive and balanced the tour well with personal stories and the history of each place. Thank you for a great experience.

Constanta with Christian
It is a long trip and we started early at 7am. Being a weekend it was busy soon after getting on the motorway. Glad we didn’t leave later!!! Christian speaks English very well and is full of knowledge and passion for Romania. A safe and ‘efficient’ driver we had as many stops as we needed for food and bathroom breaks and still managed to get to Constanta with as much time as we wanted. If there is something that you especially wanted to do or see nothing was too much trouble for him. We had a swim in the Black Sea, enjoyed a few drinks at Mikes bar and then his recommendation of lunch at a Greek restaurant was much appreciated. No kickbacks just his personal recommendation. He showed us a few Mosques and the Casino and the local markets were on. It was a quick trip back and we thoroughly enjoyed his time and jokes.

Excellent tour and even better guide (Otilia)
Otília was amazing. The information she gives is really good. Her organization and punctuality are impecable. The sad part comes from another group with another guide (the bus was half English and half spanish) and the Spanish group was always arriving late and that made us delay a lot. I just wish they were left behind as they were warned multiple times and still didn't comply.
The times given on each place was perfect.

Very long but enjoyable...
Very long but enjoyable day. Serban was an excellent driver and guide. We visited the two castles and then went to Brasov. We only had an hour in Brasov. Ideally 30 minutes less at each castle and we could have had 2 hours in Brasov, which would have given more balance to the trip. Well worth the visit.

An outstanding historical tour of Bucharest
My girlfriend and I are visiting Romania for three weeks. She is Romanian but hasn't visited the country in over 20 years. For our first stop in Bucharest she compiled a list of landmarks to visit. We decided to do Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour to learn as much as possible about these landmark sites. Eduard, our tour guide, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Romanian history and it's centuries of changes and architectural influences by many different cultures. He was respectful of the group member's ages and diversity and made sure we were shaded from the hot sun at each stop point. My girl and I truly appreciated Ed's clarity in describing each Bucharest landmark. Thanks to Ed, we learned a lot about Romanian history and its complexity of architectural designs.

Amazing day
My wife & I did this tour yesterday with George as our driver and guide. There were 5 of us on the tour so a more personal experience. The minivan we were in was very comfortable. George was an excellent driver and knowledgeable guide. We managed to see a total of 8 bears including a mama bear with 2 cubs. George always stopped when we saw them so we could take videos & pictures. A couple of bears were actually walking in the middle of the road as we approached & they came right up to us. We had plenty of stops along the way and take in the amazing views. The view from the top of the mountain at Balea lake to the Transfagarasan road below was a sight to behold. We had a really fantastic day and we were so glad we did this tour.

We had an excellent day trip to Northern Bulgaria. Our guide, Serban, was friendly, professional, and very accommodating
We had an excellent day trip to Northern Bulgaria. Our guide, Serban, was friendly, professional, and very accommodating throughout the tour. We learned so much about both Bulgaria and Romania, and the experience was informative as well as enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the region in a day.

Great day exploring this beautiful countryside with an expert driver
Kristian was outstanding driver and a terrific conversationalist. We enjoyed our day with him.
The Peles castle had incredible wood carving throughout .
The Bran castle was a fun challenge going up and down the stairs.
The lunch at Brasov was very good. We managed to see the three sites mentioned in two hours.
All of the sites were touristy but well organized. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the drive and were glad to say we got to Transylvania.

A safe, reliable, easy option for getting to and from the airport in Bucharest.
I booked cars from and to the airport at either end of my trip to Bucharest. The drivers were early both times, and got me safely to and from my hotel. It was such a comfort to not have to worry about finding a train or arranging an Uber, especially for my early morning flight out of Romania. I highly recommend this service!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Bucharest is a vibrant capital that boasts lively neighborhoods, grand architecture, and a strong connection to Romanian history and folklore. Bucharest day trips often take you beyond the city, with guided tours to landmarks such as Bran Castle—also known as Dracula’s Castle—and the medieval town of Brașov. Other options include food and wine tastings, pub crawls through the Old Town, or day hikes in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Considering the depth of culture and nature you’ll find in and outside of Bucharest, these tours are not to be missed.
