I am trying to find a trip ending in Budapest so this tour in reverse would be perfect. Do you have any from Romania to Budapest?

You can use the filter where you can select your starting point and ending point. The available tours will then be displayed. If you have any difficulties, just let us know where you would like to start and end your tour, your preferred travel dates, and the number of passengers. We'll be happy to check the availability for you. Please note that we do not have availability for every tour and departure date in 2026, so we'll confirm the options once we receive your details.

Would like to check if this is a confirmed departure, before I make my flight arrangements? At the same time, I would like to know the cost for an additional day of accommodations in Budapest on 7Jun and 2 nights 14,15 June in Sofia.

Yes, this is a confirmed and guaranteed departure but only until Bucharest. The part from Bucharest to Sofia needs to be arranged private. The cost for pre-accommodation in Budapest is €150 in a single room, with breakfast included. The cost for post-accommodation in Sofia is €90 in a single room, with breakfast included.

Do you meet us at each airport to and from? Would need a pickup on arrival and a drive to the airport upon final departure.

For this program, we will pick you up from your location in Budapest so you will need to arrange your accommodation and airport transfer before the first day. If you would like, we can arrange pre-accommodation and airport transfer for you at an additional cost. Please note that in Sofia, the airport transfer is not included either but we can also arrange this for you at an extra cost. During this program, you will be with the same guide from Day 1 until Day 6.

Can you accommodate breakfast for vegans?

Breakfasts are provided directly by the hotels. This means they can usually offer vegan options depending on availability. We also recommend informing the hotel staff upon arrival so they can assist you with suitable choices.

Can you please accommodate a request for two travelers to share a room?

if I book, I will use the travel credits; since my Italian colleague will book separately and does not have travel credits, may he receive the 2% on his portion?

Can you confirm the cost of the tour and deposit amount, and also advise how I can pay as the price has changed on the Tour Radar website?

If you book now, we will adjust your total to 3,270$ for the single supplement. The deposit amount will remain the same, only the total balance will be reduced.

Can you confirm that the price for a single supplement is 2,290 euros or is this a mistake? If so, this is almost double the cost of the trip itself?!?

the price is €1,490 per person based on two people sharing a double or twin room or €2,290 for a single traveler.

Do you pair solo traveler with the same gender? if no, how much is the single supplement? if yes but you couldnt find another solo traveler for me, what would my situation be? Full day Translynia tour for $120? is this before/after the tour or it is during the trip? is there something else plan by Adjinis if I dont join this extra full day tour? The last day is in Arad or in Budapest? Can i extend one more day in Budapest?

We usually pair travelers upon request, but unfortunately there are no other solo participants at the moment. If you would like to join the tour, a single room will be required. The single supplement for this tour is €2,290. Regarding the Transylvania tour, this specific program does not include a full-day Transylvania excursion before or after, as it already passes by Bran Castle. The optional full-day Transylvania tour is part of a different program we offer and costs €120. The final day of this tour is in Sofia.

do you pair single traveler with another same gender traveler?

yes we do pair solo travelers upon request, but at this stage we don't have any other solo traveler requests. For now, we can only offer a single room option.

Irina was an amazing guide for our first trip to Romania. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Romania and its cultural and political landscape. Was interesting to see and learn about life in Romanian capitals and to see the countryside. Absolutely loved our trip through Transylvania it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an excellent overview of Romanian culture. Irina was amazing and went above and beyond beyond to make our tour a great start to our holiday. Thanks Irina.Show more

  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Can you explain again, what do you mean by "The part from Bucharest to Sofia needs to be arranged private"? Isn't this the tour itself that I am going to be signing up for? On the same note, what do you mean by "guaranteed departure but only until Bucharest." The tour is starting from Bucharest right? So what does it mean that the departure is guaranteed only until Bucharest. Isn't that Day 1 of the tour? What happens to Day 2 and after?
- AjdinisOperator•Written May 2026
  We need a minimum of 3 passengers to operate the tour. For the section from Budapest to Bucharest, we already have registered passengers. This means the tour is confirmed from Day 1 to Day 4. From Day 5 from Bucharest to Sofia, you will be the only traveler. Therefore we would need to arrange a private transfer and on the following day a private guide in Sofia to cover the rest of your tour which means you will need to cover extra 450 euro for that part of trip.
- J
  Jen
  Traveler•Written May 2026
  If I were to keep to the same tour, how much would be the total cost given the above situation?
- AjdinisOperator•Written May 2026
  The total cost will be the regular tour price + €450 for the private option from Bucharest to Sofia part. Pre- and post-accommodation are extra, as mentioned earlier with the provided prices.

  Michael
  Traveler•Written December 2025
  So, the next step is to go onto the website and pay the deposit listed? Will I get an email confirming the reduction in cost to $3270? Also, I assume, if in the case of an unforeseen event from my end, which stops me from going on the tour (unlikely!) before 11 April 26, I will receive a refund on my deposit as listed on the website?
- AjdinisOperator•Written December 2025
  You can go ahead and book the tour directly here on the TourRadar platform. If the system offers you a better deal before you complete the booking, that's fine. If the price shown is higher than $3,270, we will manually adjust your total from our side and you will receive a confirmation in your TourRadar dashboard to approve the reduced price. In the meantime, if any additional passengers register for this tour, we will notify you and confirm the 100% guaranteed departure. If no passengers have registered by 18 April 2026 we will issue a full refund on the same day.
