What are people saying about Bucharest

Natalie_W, Oct 2026

Brilliant. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic day exploring the Transfăgărășan Road with our guide, Andrei! He was really friendly, chatty and informative, sharing lots of interesting facts along the way. He took us to a wonderful restaurant tucked away in the forest, and we had plenty of time to explore and take in the incredible views at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any brown bears, but that’s Mother Nature for you! 🐻 All in all, a brilliant trip and a great way to experience Romania’s beautiful scenery. Highly recommend this tour! 😊

Great trip in general!...

Great trip in general! Peles castle is extraordinary and Brasov town really beautiful and picturesque. Bran castle is a bit of a tourist trap, but still a great scenery overall.

Best yet in our travels!

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.

Small-Group Day Trip to Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Castle

V_K, Sept 2026

A great day trip!

Important to check emails and advice on booking entrance tickets. Tour agency did a great job with this but not all read emails. Time management is also important as it is not easy to see all 3 sites in one day. Having a passenger who was late to every meet up was a real hassle. Overall a great day with our driver Claudio and Romeo

Vlad the Guide - Not the Impaler

Ask for Vlad. He was a great guide, very personable and had a fabulous sense of history. He gave you the general information and then detail and interesting depth to the history and fables regarding everywhere we went. He had great recommendations that we followed up on for lunch as well as what was worth seeing and what was perhaps not. It was a long day, but he is good company and well worth it.

Full Day Trip to Bulgaria from Bucharest

Karen_M, Aug 2026

A Wonderful Day in Bulgaria

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
