We offer you a well balanced round trip, starting from Bucharest, with a little bit of everything included: breathtaking scenery, fairytale castles, amazing ruins, historical places, monuments and, as much as possible, interaction with the locals.
Book this tour if you want to learn what, when, where and why about Romania.
We will show you all the must-see attractions, but our speciality are the many sights most other tour operators don't include in their set route.
Please note: We don't do shared tours, we only do private tours. If you'd like to travel together with a bunch of strangers, each one with his own agenda, pace and his good or bad habits, there are plenty of other travel agents out there happy to accommodate you.
Anyway, a private tour doesn't necessarily mean an expensive tour. Please take a moment to review our prices. You'll find private tours at the price of a shared tour or cheaper!

This short but enjoyable drive is a good opportunity to get acquainted with Romanian history and learn a few basic things about the places we are going to visit during the day. 120 minutes
Peles Castle, Sinaia, Romania Mountains, castles and legends! - the perfect combination for a full day out!
At the beginning of this day tour, after the short drive from Bucharest, you'll explore a majestic palace, set amongst landscapes that will take your breath away: Peles Palace in Sinaia, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal family.

Unlike palaces, which were built for enjoyment, the castles were built for strength and protection. Their main purpose was to withhold enemy attacks and keep their occupants safe. And Bran Castle is one of the best examples.

Adrian was an amazing tour guide and escort for our family of 5 which included 2 adults, 2 teens, and our elderly mother. He was so knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, and went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We highly recommend hiring him if you're coming to Romania. He is great to talk to and we immensely enjoyed our time with him, and are so grateful for his services.

Adrian picked the 4 of us up at our hotel for the day.
This trip was about going to Dracula Castle.
He was there well before the pick-up time of 9am, which was great as he was waiting for us with a smile. This is a full day tour which lasted from 9am - 11pm.
Adrian spoke excellent English and began pointing out important buildings and history. He had a wealth of knowledge, jokes and a great sense of humor. We stopped in many locations. Had lunch and dinner together.
The 4 of us had just finished a 15 day river cruise of the Viking Long Boat and we all agreed this was the best part of our entire trip.
Adrian is very interested in knowing what and where you want to go and he'll make it happen.
Book Adrian, and you won't be disappointed.
