About your host – Iana Hi, I’m Iana — an art lover, storyteller, and local guide from Bucharest. I studied acting and painting, and later completed a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, because I’ve always believed that life, like art, is meant to be felt deeply. I’ve lived in Bali, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and traveled to over 40 countries, always searching for beauty, inspiration, and connection. Yet somehow, I always find myself coming back to Bucharest — a city that feels like an open book filled with stories, colors, and emotions. Through my tours, I love to share the poetry of this city: its hidden courtyards, artists’ secrets, and the powerful women who shaped its history. My experiences are not just about sightseeing — they’re about feeling the soul of Bucharest, one story at a time. When I’m not guiding, I paint, write, and spend time with my two cats, who think they’re small philosophers. If you join my tour, expect warmth, curiosity, and a few unexpected stories .

The beginnings of the salt mine date back to around 1685, when the officer Mihail Cantacuzino identified the salt deposit. The mine consists of 14 trapezoidal-shaped rooms, with a base opening of 32 meters, a ceiling of 10 meters and a height of 45 meters. The Slănic Salt Mine is considered the largest visitable salt mine in Europe, due to the large volume of excavated salt and the vast space. Wine tasting is the process of examining and sensory evaluating wine, including appearance, smell, and taste. It typically involves five steps: observing the color, swirling the glass to release the aromas, smelling, tasting, and enjoying the wine. The goal is to understand and appreciate the characteristics of the wine. The journey takes approximately 8-10 hours depending on traffic.

Available in EN, FR or IT. Skip the Peleș and Bran crowds and discover the Wallachia most travelers never find. This private full-day tour from Bucharest visits four extraordinary sites, each built around an obsession darker and stranger than anything on the standard tourist trail. Stand where Vlad the Impaler actually ruled at Târgoviște's Princely Court — no Hollywood myth, just a medieval warlord who kept the Ottomans at bay through terror. At Hasdeu Castle in Câmpina, enter a 19th-century séance temple built by a grieving scholar desperate to reach his dead daughter. The Little Trianon of Florești reveals what Romanian aristocracy dreamed of before communism erased it all. Mogoșoaia Palace closes the day with Brâncovenesc lakeside beauty and a dynasty's violent Ottoman ending. Four sites, four centuries, four obsessions that shaped Wallachia. Entirely private — your group only, your pace, your questions. Hotel pickup and drop-off included from central Bucharest.

We start the day driving to the Slanic Salt Mine. This salt mine, located in a wonderful environment was opened for the first time in 1938 and in order to reach it we will go 400 meters down. The microclimate inside makes it one of the favorite places for both locals and travelers. Also, having a constant temperature inside of never more than 54 degrees Fahrenhei ( 12 degrees Celsius) is a preferred place in a hot summer. Our next stop will be a unique and also an odd place: the mud volcanoes. This small volcanoes stand just a few meters above ground and they exist just because of a unique combination of water and natural gases creating a moon like terrain. Next stop is Ciolanu Monastery, well known for its late 19th century icons painted by famous artist Tatarascu. Drive back to your hotel in the late afternoon.

What are people saying about Bucharest

n_b, Jun 2026

Excellent tour with incredible guide

Really recommend this tour to everyone visiting Romania. Peles Castle is worth to see and also Brasov city. Moreover Othilia was a great tour guide. She was a very successful tour guide and provided very useful information throughout the tour, both about the itinerary and about Romania.

The Real tour of Communism

Allan_T, Jun 2026

Ceausescuism close up and personal

My interest in Romania's political history was the main reason for visiting Bucharest, so I had already done my preparatory reading and YT-video watching. This guided tour added the understanding and the personal lived experiences on top of the facts. You really get impression of how the Romanians lived under Ceausescu's version of Communism by going to concrete locations where events happened or that represent characteristics of that political/economis/social system. The guide (political scientist Andrea) also successfully mixed high level ideological parts of the story & route with low level concrete aspects of communist life, and tragic elements with the more entertaining. In addition you also get insight into post-revolution Romania. All in all a very recommendable activity for visitors to Bucharest.

Bucharest to Dracula Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Guided Tour

Percy_K, Jun 2026

Definitely a great...

Definitely a great experience, make sure you buy tickets to get into the castles as well through the tour. Cost around €40. Trip was long on the bus so wouldn’t hurt to bring a neck pillow or something and the plugs don’t work so bring two portable chargers. The guide was very helpful and spoke in many languages as well.

It is cold for sure but...

It is cold for sure but inside is very breathtaking seeing it. For Americans it’s about 50 degrees F so definitely a jacket and pants. They have events inside which is kinda surprising I didn’t think there was anything in there so it is family friendly as well.

Suzan_S, Jun 2026

Perfect day!

I wish I could remember the guide’s name but he was also the driver of the van and we went on June 15, 2026 if that helps. He was great! It was really a lovely day and a wonderful tour of (at least a slice) of Bulgaria. The guide also recommended the restaurant to eat at, which most of us joined him there for lunch and really had a delicious, authentic and cheap Bulgarian meal. Couldn’t recommend this tour more!!

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

Jeff_V, May 2026

Castles in the forest and mountains with beauty

Peles Castle is amazing and should not missed. Dracula Castle it’s fun to see and doesn’t necessarily need to be toured on the inside. Brasov really wasn’t anything incredible but it did add time to the trip. I would definitely do the trip as a private tour as opposed to a big Bus tour.

Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Thomas_R, May 2026

Long Day, But Great Trip - Guide Stefan Awesome

First of all, RTFM. Castle entry tickets are NOT included and about half the tour did not have them. You can't get them at Peles Castle. Instructions are very clear when booking, but it did not matter. Secondly, traffic can be brutal on this trip; ours lasted almost 14 hours! Lastly, our guide Stefan was awesome! As this was a (mostly) Spanish/English visitor bus, so he had to say everything twice. But he did it with a smile. And was extremely helpful sorting tickets (some are timed and had to be reissued). He also provided very clear instructions, used WhatsApp to communicate to the group, and gave recommendations on restaurants to the best local foods to try. Great guide!

Bucharest Tuk Tuk city tour

Matthew_J, May 2026

The best 2 hours of my weekend in Bucharest

What a great experience! We were collected from our hotel by Alin in a shiny electric tuk tuk, given 2 bottles of water and a snack and taken on a fantastic 2 hour tour that included all the key sights of Bucharest. Alin (who is the owner of this company) provided a lovely, humorous running commentary whilst driving. The great thing about this tour is that when you get to a landmark Alin just bumps the tuk tuk up the kerb, you hop off, he gives you a quick history and then takes your photo. Then it's back in the tuk tuk and you're off to the next sight. Do this on your first day and you will then know all the places you want to go back to and explore further on the rest of your trip. Honestly, I can't give this a higher recommendation, just book it, you won't be disappointed!

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Thomas_G, May 2026

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.

Salt Mine, Lunch at Winery & Dracula Grave, Small-group max 7 pax

David_G, Sep 2025

Salt mine was impressive

I really enjoyed this trip led by Laura and her colleague George. They were knowledgeable and answered my questions. The salt mine, while it is a little bit of a drive, it was definitely worth it. Impressive. I also enjoyed the nice lunch at the winery and the church and visit to Vlad. The Impalers site was a good compliment on the way home. Definitely recommend.
