The Best Tours & Excursions in Bucharest

It was excellent! I’m completely happy with the tour and with the entire day.

I was able to learn so much about Romanian history and culture, from the help of the amazing Alex - our driver and guide. It was lovely to have a smaller group van for a more tailored trip and comfort as well. I highly recommend this trip. Some recommendations for travelers - make sure to eat breakfast and possibly bring a sandwich with you if you tend to eat on a schedule. I opted to wait for lunch until Braşov, which worked perfectly for me, but I didn’t have lunch until around 2:30pm. Don’t make any plans for after your tour as we probably got back around 9pm. Many restaurants around my hotel had closed for dinner already so I decided to order in some takeout!

The trip was really fantastic in spite of it being a long day. The guide Sonia was really good in her explanations and led the tour inside Peles castle as well for those who had bought tickets. The timing at the various places of the itinerary were well spaced. Perhaps the stop at the fuel station on the way back was not necessary? All in all a good excursion.

Lulia was great and she was very supportive and caring for me as an American. She ensured I’m taken care of during the tour and was always checking with me and others to ensure we understood everything.

I think a better way of how to get back to the bus may be a signage or landmark because some of tourist got lost going back to the bus.

Great trip!! Our opinion was that maybe seeing just one of the two castles (probably Bran - Dracula’s) would have been sufficient, as we would have preferred a little longer in Braşov. This is of course just a question of taste, though. The driver was super and (guide good too) and we enjoyed our day. If in Bucharest with a spare day, we would certainly recommend doing this. Yes, there is a fair bit of driving. But, the rewards were good for doing so!

Fantastic day trip. Knowledgeable guide.

Everything was amazing. Iulia is a wonderful guide. She told us about everything from Bucharest till Braşov and Peles Castle. The bus was comfortable and the driver was nice. It’s was raining a lot but still nice. I highly recommend. We went to Bran Castle and the queue was huge. It’s a good experience but if you doesn’t want to go inside outside the castle is also beautiful. Braşov is a pretty city with lots of history. We love it!

It was a really good day overall, although it was very long. Eugen, our guide was absolutely fantastic and gave so much useful and interesting information all day. The coach was comfortable and cool. The 12 hours turned into 15 due to awful traffic delays on the journey back, though this was not the tour operator’s fault. We would not have booked such a long day and it was extremely tiring. However we enjoyed getting away from the stifling heat of Bucharest to the cooler mountains and the beautiful stops on the way. We had bought tickets for Peles Castle (you need to book in advance) but instead decided to enjoy the beautiful grounds and have a coffee rather than join the long queue to enter. Brasov was delightful and we decided to have a leisurely lunch but the time passed quite quickly. Bran was also beautiful but it was very crowded, with a one way system meaning you had no choice but to queue to enter each room. Overall it was a good day, even though we were exhausted!

I’ve been to many countries and had many of these kinds of tours. This was the BEST! Petru was AMAZING! He was born and raised in Romania but speaks English better than I do (and I am an American). British accent, which is quite pleasant to the ears. Very funny (and I do mean that in a “Ha! Ha!” kind of way). His knowledge of Romanian history and about every city we passed through and every castle we visited has got to be unparalleled. This was a LONG day but he made the time go by quickly. The highlight of my trip to Romania!

Eugen was really knowledgeable and provided some amazing facts about both castles and Braşov. The whole day was amazing and a must do when in Romania!

Our guide Ariana is a beautiful girl and she is so so smart ..!

The contact given from the tour operators were fantastic and very quick to assist on chats. Alex the tour guide was fantastic he was polite knowledgable and made sure we knew at all times what we were doing and where we were meeting fantastic guide.

It was a great day trip and the sights were excellent. Our tour guide Otilia was an excellent story teller on the history of the country and the area. She really made it come to life! Our driver Cosmin was excellent as well having to navigate through traffic delays because of a car race and bridge construction. We couldn’t have asked for a better team on this trip!

It was excellent! I’m completely happy with the tour and with the entire day.

One of the best trips. Everything was organised very well, Vlad was friendly and funny, approachable and spoke very good English. I’d go again if I could

The trip was really great. The bus collection was well organised and they kept us updated during the ride where we were going, how long it would take and had stops for toilet/snack break. Our tour guide Lucian was very friendly and made the trip so much more fun, with his jokes☺️ we really enjoyed it! He also helped us buy tickets at each castle 👍🏼 10/10 recommend!

Dracula castle was bit underwhelming but the tour guide, travel everything was awesome

Punctuality, quick transfer by a comfortable and spotless clean coach, excellent information provided by the guide, very friendly and polite guide and driver

Our day trip was very nice! However Romania is a very big country so you are mostly in the bus. Our guide Sergio was amazing! Very polite, helpful, caring, knowledgeable and sociable.
