What are people saying about Bucharest

The Real tour of Communism

yc4rqpgdgk, Apr 2026

Understanding Communism in Bucharest

This was a wonderful experience and Andrea was very knowledgable of the history of Bucharest, the buildings, and the effect that communism had on the population of Bucharest. We felt we knew a lot more of the history of Bucharest and the struggles they experienced than we did before we did this tour.

Constanta and the Black Sea Private Tour from Bucharest

Alan_Q, Apr 2026

Great Experience.

After a discussion with our guide Beatrice we had already done Constanta and the Black Sea on the cruise ship we had just left and being extremely creative Beatrice decided we should see some of the mountains. She took us to Snow Island and to Peles Castle (?) which we absolutely loved. We had a delicious meal in a local restaurant which she highly recommended and saw the monastery’s which we found very interesting. We found that Beatrice’s knowledge of the area and Bucharest was extensive, she was delightful company and we had a thoroughly enjoyable day in her company. I could not recommend her more highly.

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest

Andrew_I, Mar 2026

As a fan of old school...

As a fan of old school Dracula travelling through the Carpathian Moutaina and walking Bran Castle was an absolute dream (Spoiler I know Bram Stoker was never actually there and neither was Vlad Tepes. But the pure inspiration!) Definitely recommend this tour.

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

April_D, Mar 2026

Must see day trip!

The trip was lovely. The family was excited to explore and we weren't disappointed. Surprisingly Bran Castle was nicer than expected, Peles Castle was unfortunately not open the day we went (check your days) but the exterior didn't disappoint. It was a lovely fairytale Castle set in beautiful scenery, & Brasnov was a large lovely square with plenty of restaurants. Our tour guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable & we feel he helped round out the experience with great details. There truly is something for everyone. I would love to return for hiking.

Small-Group Day Trip to North Bulgaria

Rafael_G, Mar 2026

Something different.

Șeban Riga our driver was very funny and awesome....traffic is horrible there and back....sites were amazings...My wife and I enjoyed the town of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria...we skipped the palace tour and walked the whole town, there are a lot of eating options, don't be afraid to try it. Our weather was perfect SUNNY with a little breeze....I would recommend it, if you have the time. Our original date of the tour was canceled, because we were the only ones signed up for it. But they offered a different date, which we were free from other tours, I can undertand why you need at least 4 or more people for this tour. We managed to get back in a reasonable time to Bucharest as we had an early flight the next day. Long day but worth it.

Slănic Salt Mine Day Trip from Bucharest-Guide & Ticket Included

Milan_P, Jan 2026

Must visit location. Great tour guide

Breathtaking location, never seen something like this in my life. Definitely a must visit! Special thanks to the guide, Lucian David! Great jokes, interesting facts and he also gave some tips about Bucharest (what to see, where to eat, what to do and what is not worth your time) The best excursion that I've ever had! Very pleasurable experience overall

Bucharest Airport Transfer

Cynthia_B, Nov 2025

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!

Small-group max 7 - Top Gear Road - Transfăgărăşan Highway

Samantha_D, Nov 2025

Rosanna’s tours are wonderful, informative, funny and excellent driving!

This is a long tour so be prepared to be in the van a lot. However, the views are spectacular. No bears on our trip sadly as they are now hibernating but the tour was wonderful anyway. Our driver Rosanna was lovely, she is a very good driver and tells you lots about the history of the places you visit. The views in the mountains are wonderful. We had some great food (paid for separately), but enjoyed a comfortable ride with lots of views and tours of churches etc. Wonderful waterfalls in the mountains and the Dam was incredible. Rosanna has a great sense of humour and really deserves lots of praise. Highly recommend

Bucharest Panoramic Sightseeing - Private City Tour

Scott_N, Oct 2025

Great intro to Bucharest

Had a 4 hour city tour with Toni interspersed between walking & being driven. Toni was an excellent guide & we ticked off all the key sights we wanted to visit. Especially enjoyed Revolution Square & understanding the detail around the overthrow of the communist government. Highly recommend this tour.

Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Full-Day Tour from Bucharest

Renata_K, Jun 2025

Good trip

Be prepared for a very long day. Long drive and limited time so no messing about. Temperature about 6-7 degrees lower. The guide was good and helpful, bus clean. There was no toilet on the bus but guide arranges all so no preasure. The only dissapointment was not visiting Peles Cartle but Pelesor instead as tickets was sold out. Strongly suggest to by ticket un advance. Guide provided all information on the way so do not expect guided tour inside castles. I enjoed visiting both castles Pelesor and Bran. Brasov beautiful small town. Returned very tired but happy.
