“Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!”

“A great tour. We combined it with 2 days in Bucharest either side and it was a fascinating comparison. You really do have to get out in the countryside to see the real Romania. George is patient, knowledgeable and we felt in safe hands at all times. He chose some interesting places to eat and stay and was good with my 3 teenagers. The tour is a nice mix of visiting historic places, towns and churches, and is conducted at an easy pace. Our mini van was comfortable and George's driving is smooth - so much so that my kids spent a lot of our time on the road asleep!…”

He introduced us to so many amazing traditional Romanian food and drinks from Țuica, Pălincă, and Fetească to Mici and Tochitură. Silviu got us a great guide at Corvin Castle that gave us the full history of the castle and John of Hunedoara. It was like a episode of Game of Thrones (when the writing was good). Silviu says we lucked out with her because they aren’t always around to give tours. One of the benefits of going on the offseason is you really get a more personalized experience. Silviu…”
