Top Romania Day Trips - page 17

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.

Our guide, Charlie, was super personable and informative! We had a wonderful time exploring Peles, Bran, and Rasnov. The timing was great with plenty of time to stop for a coffee and breakfast. We also had time for a wonderful lunch with a view of Bran castle. We did a lot of walking so definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring some cash for vendors and shops. So glad we did this tour-a highlight of our trip!

This is a great tour if you have limited time in Romania. As I have heard a lot about Sighisoara and Sibiu I felt like I had to see both places and I highly recommend the tour if this is the case. It would be more relaxing only seeing one if you don’t need to see both.

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

I just returned from an amazing Small-Group Day Trip in Romanian Authentic Mountain Villages from Brasov with an exceptional guide named Bogdan. He was not only highly professional and knowledgeable about Romanian history, but also an incredibly warm and pleasant person. What impressed me most was his extensive knowledge of the country's history and his deep familiarity with all the sites we visited. He brought every village and story to life, turning each stop into a fascinating experience. Bogdan's flexibility and patience were outstanding - he adapted perfectly to my pace, and I never felt rushed or pressured. The transitions between villages were comfortable and tailored to my needs, and he always prioritized my comfort above all else. Beyond his professionalism, his warm and friendly personality made the tour feel personal and special. I discovered that he's also a mountain climbing guide, rock climbing instructor, and paragliding guide - which made our conversations even more interesting as he shared captivating stories from his various adventures. Traveling with Bogdan was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering this day trip. He truly made this experience unforgettable!

Our guide Dan was very knowledgeable. The Viscri village and fortification were very intriguing ... saw examples of old crafts and experienced their living conditions years ago. We were able to go in King Charles's house he has bought in the village which has made an impact on the local community. The medieval town of Sighisoara was also an example of how various local guilds defended the town ... again our guide made it very interesting.

Toured with Florin, who was exceptionally knowledgeable. Castle Bran has a decent inclined path to reach the castle. Pelles Palace was the most beautiful castle I have toured ever. It is a must see and well worth the time. Interesting to see both in the same day. Florin did a flawless job of translating between two languages, but actually speaks four. He made our day entertaining and informative. We enjoyed this day trip very much. Also, the tour takes you on a winding mountain road with some start and stop traffic for parts of it. I took some dramamine-it would have not been pretty without it! Just a heads up to people who may have motion sickness!

Great place to see bears! They are a sanctuary helping bears and also educating people on the struggles of captive bears in Romania. On our visit we've seen 25-30 different bears of different ages from little ones to full grown massive ones as well as deer, wolfs, and a fox.
