Top Romania Day Trips - page 2

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.

Fabulous trip and a very entertaining guide. I loved being on a minibus rather than a coach. We had a toilet stop at a garage which was a nightmare because you have to buy something to use the toilet and the place was absolutely packed. I could happily have skipped this. The monastery in the rock face was so interesting and the more modern monastery at ground level was beautiful. Please note that the climb up to the original Rock Monastery is steep and the ground is very uneven. Definitely worth going though. Veliko Tarnovo was also beautiful. The scenery was breathtaking. We had an enjoyable walk along the fortress walls and up to the Church and then another steep walk uphill to a gorgeous paved street of shops selling all sorts of tourist treasures and hand made crafts. We couldn’t do the last of our three stops because the road had been closed but, to be honest, we were exhausted by then anyway. I would have preferred to have longer at Veliko Tarnovo and not had to rush.

Let me start by saying the sites were all amazing! But what made the castles, the towns, the museums come to life was our awesome guide Alex !!! He was fantastic in every way, very knowledgeable and skilled , fully engaged and helpful. Every question we throw at him, no problem. He is able to provide context and insight... how lucky we are to have him for two days. By far in all our years of travel and touring, he is the BEST !!!

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!

We had an amazing tour with our guide Dino. He was very friendly and we had great conversations in the car en route to the destinations. He goes the extra mile to make sure that it's an amazing experience. In Sighisoara he even helped and changed a bit of the schedule to find a specific store. He guided us to an amazing place to eat and made sure we were enjoying all of it. I can 100% recommend it!

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.

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.

Since I was a child I have dreamed of seeing the Black Sea! Finally, I was able to dip my toes in the water and no the sea is not black. LOL There were so many beautiful sights to see all around Constanta. Many great spots to grab lunch, too. Photo opportunities everywhere. So refreshing to feel the breeze on your skin as you stroll along the boardwalk and learn all about the important role this city played in times past.
