Highlights
  • Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - The first destination on your list is Bran Castle, a location with a history of more than 6 centuries, more commonly known as Dracula’s Castle. Over the ages, the legends of the castle became stronger than its history, and hundreds of thousands of tourists visit Bran Castle each year in search of Dracula.
  • Bucegi Mountains - You will then visit a quaint village located at a height of more than 1,000 meters. This land is a true piece of heaven, being surrounded by some of the most important Carpathian Mountains, such as Bucegi, Leaota, Piatra Craiului, and Postavarul.
  • Fundățica - Next, you will head to the Bats’ Cave, located in the north-west of the Bran platform, at an altitude of approximately 950 meters. The cave was created by the erosion of the mountain by the Valea cu Cale Creek, and its name is given by the massive bat colonies that live inside it, including some unique species of bats.

You will take a visit to Fundatica, an area located at the highest altitude in Romania. In this place, the fresh mountain air keeps the locals healthy, and the average lifespan of more than 80 years serves as a testimony to this claim.

  • Brasov Historical Center - After a delicious traditional lunch, you will start a trekking journey towards a traditional sheepfold, where you will see how the sheep are milked and how the local cheese is produced, following methods and traditions passed down from generation to generation.

At last, you will catch the sunset in Brasov, where you will visit the city’s Old Town, a place which preserved the layout of its streets as well as the medieval fortifications that surround the city.

Unforgettable Transylvania tour - We had an amazing bespoke tour of Transylvania with our fabulous guide Traian. We visited Bran Castle, Brasov, Sibiu, Cluj, Sighisoara and the salt mines at Turda. We stayed in hotels in Brasov and Cluj. The one in Brasov was absolutely beautiful. Traian took us to great places for lunch (two of which we had outside in the sunshine - in February), and made some superb recommendations for restaurants in the evening - even managing to get the four of us into one of the best restaurants in Brasov on Valentines night (which we had completely forgotten about). The trip was absolutely fantastic. One we will never forget. And for four days tour (including admittance fees), three nights accommodation, very comfortable transport, and a local and knowledgeable guide with perfect English, we felt the cost was really excellent value for money.

Highly recommend - It was a really good experience. Alex listened carefully to what we wanted to do, offered thoughts and suggestions, and provided lots of insights. I was traveling with my 16-year-old son and Alex handled all of that very well. There was a really good balance of physical activity and cultural/historical insights. We went on a great bike ride in the foothills around Viscri, a challenging and fantastic experience. Both my son and I found Alex to be a great help and companion. I also found Rolandia to be responsive and helpful. When two different airlines cancelled our flights from Budapest to Transylvania, we were frustrated (first Wizz Air cancelled, then our back up plan, Austrian Airlines, also canceled). Rolandia sent someone (the great Laur) to pick us up in Budapest at a cost that was 30% lower than drivers available to us for hire. It was a great and unforgettable trip. I would recommend that anyone visiting Romania hire these guys as guides and advisors.

Reliable, Professional, Structured Tour with a personal touch.. - Having read so many online tour scams, we were a bit cautious when booking with Rolandia but Ioana have been extremely helpful, patient and accomodating to our queries during the planning phase and also last minute changes. Ioana is flexible, detailed and followed up periodically and we really appreciate the tips, guidance, proposals as well as the customer service - a total pleasure to work with. Our guide Adrian was very informative, accommodating and patient as well. The level of professionalism was surprising as some tour agents and tour guides are not that knowledgeable and what we really appreciated is that we managed to skip the long queues, travel at our own pace and at our own flexibility. Thank you very much for making our trip so much fun, such a pleasure and memorable! Highly Recommended for all tourists looking for a hassle free and reliable tour agent
