“The tour was lovely, well organised and executed. We saw three of the most beautiful cities in Europe, learned so much about the history of the country, and travelled through gorgeous landscapes. Our guide Nicosur was very knowledgeable, looked after us very well, and was an excellent and safe driver. There were only 4 of us on the tour, and we really enjoyed the company of the other couple. Last but not least, it was outstanding value for money. We were told in advance that we would have to chose our own hotel, at a price that suited us, and that we had the option to pay € 45 to…”

“When I booked my trip to Romania I knew very little about what I wanted to see other than Dracula's Castle. I am an avid Viator user and stumbled upon a new tour that included Dracula's Castle Bran's and also Peles Castle plus much more. I just want to say that I was thoroughly pleased with my choice. My friend and I were picked up for our private tour, by private I mean just me and my friend. No waiting in lines, no bus, no waiting for other people. It was great, we had free WIFI and when we needed to stop to stretch our legs or grab a beverage…”

“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!”

“I found this tour online while searching for possible itineraries in Transilvania and I couldn't be happier! I am a tour guide so I'm extremely picky about my travel experiences and trust me when I say that this was just perfect! Our guide David was so knowledgeable and kind, had perfect time management and great attention to details. He was driving and guiding at the same time and did a great job! The locations are pretty far from each other so every day we spent quite some time on the road but it was absolutely worth it, also because David kept us entertained explaining all the history of the country…”
