Romania Tours & Trips
Ready to experience the unique mix of beautiful buildings in Bucharest, aka "Little Paris”? You'll meet locals as you visit homes and drink traditional palinka, or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through Sibiel. Explore the historic streets of Brasov, and don't miss Bran Castle, often associated with Dracula. Marvel at the exquisite wooden churches in Poienile Izei and Barsana; their craftsmanship is truly remarkable.

Take the trip! Transylvania is gorgeous, and my only regret is not staying longer. Charlie is a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and funny. You'll see medieval towns, castles, and the mountains. It was very peaceful, and the local cuisine is delicious. It's like no place I've ever been. Highly recommend. My only caveat is that American travelers will want to work out their flights and check in with the tour company to make sure it works for that week. Only one transport to and from the airport is covered by the tour cost. We ended up having to pay extra because our flights didn't line up with the other travelers, but it was a reasonable expense. Flights to and from Bucharest seem to get canceled and changed often. That being said, the trip was 100% worth it, and the tour company found us reliable transport.

We had a wonderful experience. We had a great guide whose passion for the mountains and the people was infectious. The guesthouses were great with the owners going out of their way to give us the best possible experience.
Transylvanian Village Life in the Carpathian Mountains: An Eco-Certified Experience - D
Dorinda • traveled in November, 2025
Excellent tour. Our guide/driver was Traian. We had booked the group tour option, but it was only the 2 of us, so it ended up being a private tour. Traian was very accommodating and informative. Our biggest disappointment though was the size of the car (VW Jetta). It felt very cramped, especially on the many long drives. A vehicle with more leg room would have been much more comfortable. All of the hotels were very nice and well-located. However, our stay in Iasi (Grand Hotel Traian) was less than satisfactory. It was very noisy, lasting until past 10pm and the breakfast service was lacking--food was out, but there was no one around to fulfill any requests.

Best tour companies for Romania tours
Looking at Romania's top tour operators, Travel Talk really shines with their Transylvania highlights package - our travelers consistently mention how well-organized everything is and how much they enjoy their guides who really know their stuff. The Explore! tours give you a proper look at rural Romania and even include brown bear watching in their natural habitat, though some folks mention the pace can be pretty quick. But that's actually perfect if you want to see a lot in a shorter time. Active Travel takes a different approach with their Medieval Transylvania tour, and their guide Charlie gets special mentions for going above and beyond. He helps travelers really connect with local culture, which makes the whole experience more meaningful and personal. Rolandia has built quite a reputation for taking care of the details that matter - their drivers know the roads well, the hotels are carefully picked and guides like Cristi and Gelu make the difference. Their 10-day Best of Romania and Classic Romania tours are particularly popular with our customers, and it's easy to see why. The balance of comfort, local expertise and well-planned routes works really well for most travelers.
Best places to start your Romania tour
Most Romania tours kick off from Bucharest - about 82 of our travelers start there. You can begin from Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu or Brasov too, though fewer people choose these starting points. The sweet spot for booking is around 128 days ahead, which gives you about 4 months to lock in your preferred dates and routes. This is especially important if you're traveling in summer when medieval festivals are happening everywhere. Speaking of timing, summer (June-August) works great for hiking and festivals, while spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) mean fewer crowds and perfect weather for castle visits and photos. Winter brings snowy scenes and Christmas markets, but you should know that some mountain roads like Transfagarasan close up for the season. Our customers consistently point out how far their money goes here - you'll get quality experiences and nice places to stay for less than what you'd spend in Western Europe.

Best time to visit Romania
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter tours through Romania show off the country's medieval character in a whole new way. The self-driving UNESCO route fits perfectly with winter conditions, letting you explore snow-covered monasteries in Bucovina and experience traditional Christmas markets in places like Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu and also Brasov. Our 3-day Medieval Transylvania tours adapt nicely to winter - you'll find Bran Castle quieter than usual and see the Black Church against pristine winter scenery. The Carpathian mountains take on a completely different character in winter, offering exceptional photography among the snow-capped peaks. These winter tours blend cultural visits with intimate experiences, so you might start your day walking Sighisoara's medieval streets before warming up in a village workshop learning traditional crafts. Our travelers particularly appreciate how private winter tours allow guides to adjust plans around weather while still covering key sites like Peles Castle and the fortified churches of Biertan, Prejmer and other historic villages.

- Spring 2026
Romania shows its best side in spring, when medieval sites and countryside paths come alive. Our Classic Romania tours hit all the right notes, taking you through Bucharest's mix of old and new before heading into Transylvania's historic towns. The walking routes near Moieciu in the Bucegi Mountains are perfectly balanced - you'll do 6km loops with 300-meter climbs that work up just enough appetite for those hearty Romanian meals waiting at day's end. What makes spring extra special is the chance to spot brown bears fresh from hibernation; our forestry guides know exactly when to take small groups to the observation hides at dusk. You'll find fewer tourists at places like Brasov's Black Church and Sighisoara's Clock Tower, and our local guides are great at adjusting the pace to match what each group wants to see and do.

- Summer 2026
Summer's long daylight hours and festival season make it perfect for diving deep into Romania. The Village Life tours in the Carpathians are a real highlight - you'll trek through Piatra Craiului National Park's limestone gorges and stay in family-run guesthouses in places like Magura and Pestera. The hosts there serve up amazing farm-fresh meals and local cheese tastings that our travelers can't stop talking about. Castle tours work nicely in summer too, though we schedule those visits early to beat the heat. The multi-day hiking programs really shine now, especially the routes through northern Bucegi Natural Park that lead to hidden waterfalls and working shepherd camps. Our guides do a brilliant job mixing proper hikes with relaxed village visits and UNESCO heritage sites, giving you the full Romanian experience.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
When autumn paints Romania's mountains in rich colors, it's prime time for photography-focused trips. You can explore Corvin Castle, Bran Castle and the fortified churches without bumping into summer crowds, which our travelers really appreciate. The Piatra Craiului hikes are still going strong, with perfect temperatures for longer walks to spots like Zarnesti Gorges and Curmatura mountain hut. Our eco-certified tours let you walk through traditional villages and meet local craftspeople and farmers doing their thing. Fall's really special for seeing rural life in action - there's cheese-making happening and fruit brandy production in full swing. You might start your morning hiking through forests turned golden then spend your evening in a village kitchen learning family recipes passed down through generations.
