All Romania Tours & Excursions in 2026

We had been contacted in advance to purchase our timed tickets for Pele’s Castle and our driver Claudiu made sure we arrived in plenty of time. We were actually first in line for entry when it opened at 9:15 am. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting. 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 disappointing. If you are expecting to see a lot about Dracula, this isn’t it. There is a small display in one section but the remainder is about other Romanian history. Our last stop was Brasov where we toured the town and also bought tickets to visit the Black Church. Our guide was from Brasov so he related many stories and showed us plenty of sites in the city. We chose not to have lunch in the town square but asked our driver to take us to a local Romanian restaurant. It was fantastic and there were definitely not tourists there for lunch. It is a long day of driving but Claudiu is very friendly and has a lot of local knowledge to share along the way.

Our guide and driver Bogdan was very good. He was knowledgeable, engaging without being dominating, kind, patient, an excellent/safe driver, sported a good sense of humor and we learned a good deal of information about the history of the area and of Romania. Going to these sights was a definite must and they did not disappoint.

If you have to choose only one castle, go with Peles. Bran was just ok, and we only visited cantacoucino's gardens, which were wonderful. Alin was a great guide. He gave us a lot of information, and he even altered the row of the schedule in order to avoid peak time, which was really good. I would definitely recommend this experience!

The pick up was very good and on time. The drive was smooth and our driver/guide, Narcis (sp?), was very informative and had good stories. Only issue I had was we were sitting in the back row and with the highway it was sometimes tough to hear them. He reached out days before the tour and recommended which tickets to purchase for Peles and Bran. He also took us around Brasov and gave a tour of the old town (which was optional. We could have explored on our own, but he was so informative we stayed with him).

We had Otilia and she was the best and funniest guide we have ever had! She was incredibly knowledgeable and really made us aware of the history of the Romanian people and the castles. I feel like because of how thorough and funny she was the content really stuck and it allowed us to really appreciate the sites so much more. It is a very long day! So definitely recommend you bring snacks for the bus. And pro-tip you cannot buy tickets of the castles on site. We did that an really enjoyed it! But others on the bus did not and were sad they missed the castles. This was a fantastic tour and if you come to Romania you will miss out if you don’t see and hear all of these wonderful things!

We got a lot of great history during the tour and he had photos dating back to some of the historic moments of the city that were helpful. We felt like we saw most of the sights of the city. The tuktuk vehicle was comfortable and got us around well. Our guide was friendly and talkative and a safe driver.

This is something different to do whilst in Bucharest! We had a great time. I would recommend booking a weekend morning as the roads in Bucharest are crazy any other time but the instructor was amazing. Good tutorial before you go out onto the roads and really clear guidance once you are out and about. Would definately recommend booking this. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the most wonderful full-day trip from Bucharest to Bulgaria, and so much of that experience was thanks to our fantastic tour leader, Anna. Anna was absolutely lovely — kind, warm, attentive and incredibly informative. She shared so much about Bulgaria’s history, culture and way of life, but did so in such an engaging and enjoyable way. She was always happy to answer our questions, made sure everyone was comfortable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our day special. It was a pleasure spending the day with her. A special thank you also to George, our excellent driver, who drove us safely and comfortably throughout the entire trip. He was professional, friendly and an absolute pleasure to have with us. The whole day was exceptionally well organised, enjoyable and stress-free. We came away with wonderful memories of Bulgaria and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest. Thank you, Anna and George, for making our day in Bulgaria so memorable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
