Great day tour to get a taste of what Romania has to offer.
Had a really good day trip. Well organised and very informative. Would recommend if you want a taste of what Romania has to offer and you have limited time. Would recommend. Octavian the tour guide was really friendly, helpful and made sure we enjoyed our day.

Excellent experience!!
This was a surprisingly (to me) enjoyable and (not surprisingly) educational afternoon. Our guide Elena was extraordinary! She is a consummate story teller with personal life experience that she imparts to the potentially dry information she presented. Our family includes two young boys (11 and 13) who are tough to engage but she held them captive! I want to just give as many stars as possible.

What is not to love on this journey?
Full day of jaw dropping beauty, in comfort, and with the most knowledgeable guide. The rest of our stay in Romania we were constantly saying, “Sebastian told us” or “Remember how Sebastian explained” so we not only got a nature expedition, but also a travel experience, a history guided tour, a photo excursion unparalleled. Yes this trip is a long day, but the van is so comfortable, and our driver was so safe and careful that it was also an easy day. June is an amazing time to go, we saw 12 different bears, and our guide is so experienced, he knew when we saw the same bear on the return trip, even could tell us age and sex of the bears. I loved how he respected the bears, while we admired them from the safety from the safety from the van, we were only feet away.

Bucharest walking history tour.
This is an excellent tour for first time visitors in Bucharest or if you have been here before but didn't get to do a city walking tour. Our guide was Ed and he really filled us in with fascinating history behind all the places we visited! Brought the fall of communism to life so much that we practically felt like we were there! Excellent value for the money.

A Unique Salt Mine Escape from Bucharest
The Salt Mine day trip from Bucharest was a really unique experience and definitely worth doing. The tour was well organized, informative, and comfortable throughout the day. The salt mine itself is impressive- huge underground spaces, cool atmosphere, and something very different from the usual tourist attractions. There was enough free time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the experience at your own pace. The views and surrounding areas were also beautiful during the drive. A great escape from the city and a memorable day trip from Bucharest.

A good option if you are...
A good option if you are short on time and based in Bucharest.
We did Peles Castle, then lunch in Brasov, then Bran Castle. We got 1.5-2 hours at each stop. There are lots of tour groups so both castles were very busy. Note: entry into the castles is extra, and the driver and the guide hope for tips at the end (so bring cash).
The day is long because of the distances and traffic (we left at 7am and returned to Bucharest at almost 8.30pm). Bus was clean and quite comfortable (but you can't eat on it). Tour guide was quite knowledgeable.
If you want to explore Brasov, bring your own lunch because restaurants take their time serving you and prepping food.
If we had more time, we would have liked to stay a night in Brasov or Sinaia and done each castle on different days.

Exceptional
Hi we booked this to a group party of 7 . We were the only ones on the tour but it wasn't cancelled . They sent us our own tour guide who was very welcoming . Brilliantly English spoken was very knowledgeable and kept us well informed . The bear sanctuary is worth a visit lovely to see the bears are well looked after been mistreated in previous habitats sad to hear their stories but their in a safe haven now . Bran castle is a must very interesting and the views are stunningly beautiful and breathtaking taking . Been blown away by Romania's beauty . Loved our day out and special thanks Valeriu . Outstanding

A Brilliant experience with Claudiu
We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break.
Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little underwhelming in comparison.
Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back.
There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

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!

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.

An unforgettable night in Bucharest😁
Our guides, Katy, Andreea and Carmen, were absolute stars. Their energy and friendliness made the night not just fun, but truly special. They made everyone feel welcome, kept the group hyped, and ensured that everyone had a safe and exciting time.
You get welcome shots,, and tons of laughs. It’s not just about drinking – it’s about connecting, dancing, and soaking in the vibrant energy of Bucharest.
Whether you’re solo or with a group, this is hands down one of the best ways to experience the city's nightlife. Huge thanks to Andreea, Katy and Carmen for making the night so amazing – I’d do it again in a heartbeat! 🥳💃
Highly recommend – 10/10!

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.
