We need a tour that goes roundtrip from Budapest in a week. Do you know of any? Would you go to Bucharest and come by bus back or do the buses go back and forth between the two cities?

1. Hotel by the station? 2. Is the train advisable and is one better than the other? 3. Anything else to warn us about?? 4. Do the tour buses go back to Budapest? Maybe we could book a trip back with one. Is this refundable if things don't work out?

What is the recommended number of days to stay in Bucharest?

We suggest considering at least two more days to explore Bucharest fully.

What is the cost for the tour?

Prices for the tour vary based on the travel date and the number of participants.

What time will I be picked up from my hotel?

The pick-up will be around 09.00 a.m. from your hotel.

Do you provide transfers from the airport?

Transfer services can be arranged; please inquire for more details.

Are meals included in the tour?

Meal inclusions may vary; please check the itinerary for specific details.

How many people can join the tour?

We usually run small group tours; please let us know your preferred group size.

Are there guaranteed departure dates for the tour?

We confirm that there are guaranteed departures available for specific dates.

I am wondering are you likely to have any tours leaving Budapest about the 19th of June 2025 as we arrive in Budapest on the 16th and wish to travel to Romania to visit relatives

We have availability for the shared departure only on the dates indicated on TourRadar. Would you like to have this tour as a private tour?

The five day tour was well organized from beginning to end. The places we visited were interesting and had excellent cultural knowledge.

The five day tour was well organized from beginning to end, Alex was always on-time. The itinerary was well timed with sufficient free time to explore on our own. The hotels were well located and selected. The places we visited were interesting and Alex gave excellent cultural knowledge information. The trip was very comfortable, safe and having a local guide who could speak and communicate made things a breeze. Alex provides a lot of historical facts which are great if you are interested in learning more about Romanian history.Show more
