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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Romania. It was on my bucket list for some time and did not disappoint. It has so much history. Our guide Tiberiu was excellent, his knowledge was extensive. We really enjoyed the last day hiking in the mountains and visiting the rural areas. Definitely recommend.

A fantastic journey around Romania. Thoroughly enjoyable, a great itinerary and our guide, George, answered all our questions and looked after everyone on the tour. As well as being a mine of information, he had a great sense of humour which greatly added to the experience. Happy with all the hotels and all the sights - it was a great introduction to a fascinating country and its history. The included airport transfers were greatly appreciated, even when staying a few days in Bucharest after the tour ended. The only things I would suggest is that maybe there was too much time at Turda rather than spending more time in Sibiu, and also at Bran Castle rather than Sinaia, but that is a personal preference. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting an introduction to the country.

A Journey Through the Carpathians: Where Mountains, Villages, and Time Move to Their Own Rhythm What made this trip unforgettable: The artful choreography of the journey. Each day unfolded like a new chapter with its own distinct character. One day, I wandered through dramatic gorges, dwarfed by towering limestone walls that revealed millions of years of geological history. Another day led me past quiet farms, where dogs announced my arrival and curious cows watched from the fields. Along the way, farmers raked hay beneath rolling hills, creating scenes that felt lifted straight from a Cézanne painting. On the final day, the trail climbed beside seven waterfalls, each ascent feeling like a step deeper into a hidden world. The warmth of the village communities. What touched me most was the genuine kindness of the people I met. They seemed sincerely invested in making visitors feel welcome, offering generous hospitality despite limited resources and remote conditions. Home-cooked breakfasts, thoughtfully prepared lunch packs, and hearty dinners carried a sense of care that no luxury resort could replicate. The simple village hotels were spotless and comfortable—an appreciated upgrade from the mountain huts and chalets—yet it was the human connection that made each stay memorable. The exceptional support from Active Travel. Throughout the journey, their team was consistently responsive, attentive, and reliable. Whether it was logistics, questions, or unexpected needs, help was always just a message away. Their service combined efficiency with genuine care, earning a well-deserved five-star rating. Having hiked in many remarkable places around the world, I know the feeling of standing before the dramatic peaks of Lofoten or the vast glaciers of Patagonia. The Carpathians offer something different. They do not overwhelm with spectacle; instead, they invite you into a quieter, deeper experience. Days are spent hiking through forests, meadows, and mountain valleys, followed by peaceful evenings in villages untouched by mass tourism. There is no rush to shop, no long list of attractions to check off—only the simple pleasure of walking, observing, and being present. The landscape possesses a gentle, timeless beauty, but it is the thoughtful design of the journey that elevates the experience. Every day reveals a new perspective, a new story, and a new connection to the land. By the end, the Carpathians feel less like a destination and more like a place you were fortunate enough to briefly call home.

Best time to visit Romania
- 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.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
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 2027
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.
