Overall, it was great! We had an incredible time! Our tour guide, Monica, was amazing and our driver, Christi, was great! I do wish we had more time to stay in Braun. We had to wait over an hour and a half to see the castle, then race back to get ready for the party - wish we had the whole day to explore more. But overall, it was an amazing trip! Highly recommend!!!

I went searching for Dracula. Along the way, I found a beautiful country, warm people, and new friends. Our guide was terrific, teaching history along the way. It was a fun adventure. As to whether or not I found Dracula, I can only say, “Mayyyybe.”

Best tour companies for Transylvania tours
Based on the reviews from TourRadar, four tour companies really stand out for Romanian travel and each brings something special to the table. Travel Talk and Explore! get loads of positive feedback about their guides - you'll get proper experts who know Romanian history inside out and actually make it interesting. They're friendly too, which makes a big difference when you're spending days together. If you're particular about comfortable travel between sites, Rolandia Tours seems to have that sorted - their transport gets consistently good marks from travelers. Romanian Thrills does a great job with the planning side of things; they communicate well and leave no detail to chance. What's nice about all these operators is how they've structured their Transylvania routes. The itineraries make sense logically and you get real Romanian experiences rather than just tourist spots. Our customers often mention how they appreciated getting beyond the surface level and actually understanding the culture, especially in Transylvania where there's so much history and local tradition to take in. The guides seem to make the difference here - they're not just showing you around, they're helping you understand what you're seeing and why it matters in Romanian culture. It's clear these companies have put in the work to create tours that feel authentic and well thought out.

Best time to visit Transylvania
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter really shines for cultural touring in Transylvania when the big crowds thin out. Our small groups get to explore Peles Castle, Bran Castle and other sites with much more space to themselves. The medieval towns look particularly good with a dusting of snow - you'll get excellent photos in Brasov's Council Square and walking across Sibiu's Bridge of Lies. Many of our travelers tell us how the Gothic chambers of Bran Castle feel properly atmospheric in winter, especially during our private after-hours visits when you practically have the whole place to yourself. The early sunsets and crisp air really add to that mysterious castle mood.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits the sweet spot for mixing outdoor activities with cultural visits in Transylvania. Our cycling tours work perfectly in April and May - you'll cover between 34 and 55km daily through forests coming back to life and genuine village communities. A lot of travelers pick our combined tours that connect Bucharest's architectural gems with medieval towns like Brasov, Sighisoara and also Sibiu. The mild weather makes it ideal for walking through UNESCO sites and fortified churches, plus you can watch local craftsmen at work in places like Viscri. Since it's just before peak season, you'll find good deals and plenty of space at our favorite family guesthouses and boutique hotels.

- Summer 2026
Summer's long days let us pack plenty into our Transylvania tours - you get castle visits, village exploration and outdoor activities all in one. The cycling routes are particularly good now, especially through Piatra Craiului National Park and rural backroads. Many of our guests love how we mix things up - you might start at Corvin Castle in the morning then spend your afternoon hiking mountain paths or meeting rescued bears at the Libearty sanctuary. When the Transfagarasan highway opens in July, our guides take you along one of Europe's most impressive mountain drives between cultural stops.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings out Transylvania's character with medieval towns framed by the Carpathians' autumn colors. Our travelers often join in with harvest activities in the villages - helping collect grapes for wine or preparing traditional winter preserves with local families. The cultural visits get special touches this time of year with private access to historic buildings, tastings in ancient wine cellars and visits to working artisan workshops. You'll see lots of traditional craft demonstrations at the ASTRA Village Museum, and our guests tell us how much they enjoy exploring Sighisoara's winding cobbled streets and climbing castle towers surrounded by fall foliage.
