3-Day Private Tour of Medieval Transylvania from Bucharest

Claudio was the best guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable in Romanian history, culture, and all aspects. He took really good care of my mother and me. We feel that Claudio treated us like very dear friends. Our accommodations were great! The sites visited are not to be missed. We highly recommend this tour and the guide Claudio.

Our guide, Claudiu, treated us like family. He followed the itinerary, but I feel he gave us so much more. He went over and beyond to help us experience Romania.

We wanted to see Transylvania by land, not sea. Our tour guide, Claudio had 25-years of experience. He took us to the highlights — Pele’s Castle, the fort, Bran Castle and Dracula’s birth place. He knew the history. We stayed in Brasov at the Radisson Blu. We toured that city on our own. We took Claudio up on his extra bear tour on our way back to Bucharest. He loved the thrill of finding the bears — mostly young cubs hanging out on the side of the road. There were plenty! A papa bear actually ran after the car. We got away just fine. We also visited a beautiful lake along with the hilltop castle Vlad the impaler called home near the end of his life. Claudio delivered us to our Bucharest Hotel. At times, his European driving and passing on the road had us worried. Other than that, he did an excellent job! If you are interested in a land tour of Transylvania, then this option works great!

Our driver Claudiu is more than a tour guide and a photographer. He is also our bodyguard who always puts safety first! Kind, gentle, professional, simple and fun. Also he drives so well. Great at communications and very flexible with our schedule. We were surprisingly amazed by the rich history of Bran Castle and the views in Sighișoara and Brasov. Missing these persimmon gypsy houses and the lands already! Would recommend Claudiu to anyone who is interested in the 3-day tour. Next time we’re planning to go hiking in the most beautiful highway in the world!! ❤️

Overall experience was ok. The early communication from tour operator was NOT great - we booked maybe 2 months in advance and then about 2 weeks before the tour we started to reach out to clarify specifics and we didnt get any response until 2 days before the tour. Also, they did not tell us until the pickup morning of our tour that there was a change in our tour itinerary about one of the main attraction being closed for renovation and that instead of staying at two different cities for the 2 overnight accommodation we would be staying only at Brasov for both nights (instead of one night at Sighisoara which we had looked forward to). Our driver/guide was good and helpful - but the company was not so forthcoming with the changes etc which I was not happy about. We would most likely have stuck with the tour given we came from Asia and had a very tightly planned schedule inlcuding wanting to visit Transylvania.

Claudio took us to numerous spots along our tour for great scenic photos. He knew the best photo spots for each major attraction. We expedited our entry into every sight- in some cases bypassing huge lines. This saved time to see more sights as did his knowledge of the local roads and the best routes to get there to avoid traffic. Although Claudio’s vehicle wasn’t new, it was clean inside, he always opened the car doors for us, and he always took care of our luggage. The hotels we stayed at were okay but we would have preferred nicer non smoking accommodations in the city centers and would pay more for the tour to cover the higher hotel costs if given the option.

Christian was very knowledgeable always kind and helpful. It was so nice to be in a private car vs a bus with lots of people. He always knew the best places to eat ! I would definitely recommend this adventure. I am a 75 year old lady traveling with my son

This was a wonderful 3 days. Our tour guide Cristian is very so passionate about Romania and Transylvania in particular. He imparted this passion and knowledge to us. This was a private tour, only the 2 of us travelling together. He made suggestions as to the itinerary to ensure that we maximised our time at each location but still saw everything we wanted to.

Our tour guide Diana was great! She’s knowledgeable, fun, punctual and easy going! Absolutely love having her as our tour guid!!!

Having a wonderful time visiting Unesco sites, driving through beautiful landscapes, all the while being informed, entertained, and well-cared for by our guide, Christian.
