“Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!”

“This tour is not to be missed. Just be sure you have guide Alex Stan. We were a demanding group--six adults, three in their 30's and three in their 60's, one of whom has lived off and on in Romania for many years. We other five knew very little about Romania and Transylvania. We came away from the tour wishing we could plan another trip with Alex and perhaps we will. First, Alex made sure to discuss everything with us so we could decide as a group where to spend our time. For example, he drove us through back roads rather than the main highway to one of the sites…”

Travel from Bucharest through Sibiu, Alba Iulia, Sighisoara, Brasov, Bran Castle, Peles Castle, and Snagov. You’ll stay three nights, ride in an air-conditioned vehicle, and have breakfast each morning. Guide arrangements should be confirmed, since local guides may cost extra.

“A great tour. We combined it with 2 days in Bucharest either side and it was a fascinating comparison. You really do have to get out in the countryside to see the real Romania. George is patient, knowledgeable and we felt in safe hands at all times. He chose some interesting places to eat and stay and was good with my 3 teenagers. The tour is a nice mix of visiting historic places, towns and churches, and is conducted at an easy pace. Our mini van was comfortable and George's driving is smooth - so much so that my kids spent a lot of our time on the road asleep!…”

We could see restoration in action of the stunning buildings, every inch painted inside and out and the difference between artists and artisans.

He was very informative and the perfect tour guide for all the places we visited, plus he was prompt and efficient.

“We had an amazing honeymoon thanks to Silviu! He was so knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and just overall a great guy. He introduced us to so many amazing traditional Romanian food and drinks from Țuica, Pălincă, and Fetească to Mici and Tochitură. Silviu got us a great guide at Corvin Castle that gave us the full history of the castle and John of Hunedoara. It was like a episode of Game of Thrones (when the writing was good). Silviu says we lucked out with her because they aren’t always around to give tours. One of the benefits of going on the offseason is you really get a more personalized experience. Silviu…”
