Scopri la Transilvania da Budapest

One of the best trips of my entire life. Sergiu was extraordinary—knowledgeable on so many aspects with an incredible grasp of history of the region. He brought places to life and knew some hidden spots that made the tour special. He handled every detail so I never worried about traveling solo and even patiently taught Romanian phrases along the way! Hotels were excellent, breakfast and everything else I ate was wonderful, and the itinerary has all your bucket list items. Don’t be afraid to go off season, it was magical—Christmas markets, winter wonderland on full display and the best sites like the salt mine and Bran Castle without crowds. If you’re looking at tours from Budapest, pick this one.

This is a really fantastic trip! You see beautiful, historic towns, amazing castles, palaces, fortified churches, and a lot of Romanian countryside. Sergiu picked the restaurants and they were all authentic and the food was fantastic. We didn't expect to love the food as much as we did but we're making it for friends tomorrow night (based on Sergio's grandmother's recipe...) They also know the best hotels and places to stop along the way so you get a unique and memorable experience. Sergiu was our guide and he was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Romania, each town and castle, and the amazing history of the country. He was also a great guy and we all enjoyed being with him for the whole trip. I can't remember all the languages he speaks (many!) but his English was perfect so that made it really easy for us. It's likely he speaks your language as well! You can customize your trip to suit your needs and interests as well, which makes it all the better. We had chosen a few places initially and Sergiu worked them into the trip and added so many that we would have never known about. Pickup and drop-off in Budapest is incredibly convenient. The trains in Romania are very slow and the road network is confusing. It's great to have someone else manage all the logistics so you can just enjoy the scenery. Everyone in our family enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to other families or groups.
