5.00Amazing 4-Day Transylvania Tour – Highly Recommend! We had an incredible 4-day tour of Transylvania, visiting Bran Castle, Peles Castle, Sighișoara, Sibiu, and the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains. Driving the Transfăgărășan Road and seeing wild bears was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our guide, Victor, was fantastic—super knowledgeable and friendly. All of our hotels were in the heart of the old towns, which made everything easily walkable and added to the charm. The tour was the perfect mix of history, nature, and culture. We’d recommend it to anyone visiting Romania!

5.00It will be hard to find a better guide than Bogdan. Organized, responsible, punctual, polite, knowledgeable about everything related to his country, very attentive to the customers' needs and even reserving small surprises and attentions that make the days much more pleasant. A true Romanian friend, and a gentleman! As for the trip itself, there are no words to describe the beauty of a Romania whose authenticity of people and places has not yet been greatly affected by mass tourism, you have to experience them on the spot. Very well chosen hotels and restaurants, with typical food and even experiencing a meal at a family home. A very comfortable trip in a van, with exemplary driving, never rushing the schedules, giving customers time to enjoy every moment at a slow pace and with a route carefully chosen in order to avoid traffic jams as much as possible. It was a trip with friends where we found one more! Thank you Bogdan for an unforgettable experience. We hope to return for another trip.

5.00Wonderful this trip, with an excellent balance between natural landscapes and historic monuments. Total experience, history, gastronomy, landscapes and everyday life. Totally surprised by this country so authentic, with so much heritage (historical and natural) that preserves its traditions. with the exception of some of the most well-known monuments, there is no mass tourism which is a great quality.

5.00This was absolutely the the best tour of both the city of Bucharest and the Transylvania region of Central Romania. Our personal guide, Nick Zavada was THE MOST knowledgeable and historically informed tour guide we have ever encountered. We would highly recommend to anyone having 5 days to get an in-depth understanding of the country’s history and culture as well as an intimate relationship with the people, this is your tour. We shared a wonderful meal with a family in their rural farmhouse village of Viscri and stayed in beautiful B&Bs located in the historical districts of several Transylvania cities. You’ll LOVE this tour!!

5.00We loved our 4-day Transylvania tour from BookToursRomania with our driver/guide Gelu! We were 2 couples, all active North American seniors and experienced travellers. Gelu spoke impeccable English, was incredible knowledgeable and courteous, and a good driver. We had a new clean mini van. All 3 hotels were very good, in safe central locations well situated for after-tour walks, each different in style, all clean and quiet with good breakfasts and wifi. The itinerary was great for an introduction to Transylvania. Highlights for us included Peles Castle, the Saxon villages and fortified churches, and the Transfagarasan Road. Another highlight was visiting an old Saxon house owned by now King Charles of Britain in the village of Viscri. No complaints or criticisms.
