Romania tours

• Transylvania tour (4 nights)

Bucharest – Sibiu – Sighisoara – Bran – Brasov – Sinaia – Bucharest

The shortest of our tours of Romania, based on an itinerary that covers southern (Saxon) Transylvania, featuring the Medieval cities of Sibiu, Sighisoara, Brasov and their famous landmarks.

An itinerary designed for travelers who may not have a lot of time for their tour, but are interested in discovering Transylvania, probably the most famous region of Romania.

For this tour, the hotels in Transylvania are all in the old town area, within walking distance to any sights of interest you might decide to explore, and they are located in historical buildings.

 

• Dracula tour in Transylvania (5 nights)

Bucharest – Curtea de Arges – Poienari Fortress – Sibiu – Biertan – Sighisoara – Bran Castle – Brasov – Peles Castle – Snagov Monastery – Bucharest

A best – seller among our tours of Romania, the Dracula tour covers approximately the same sights as the Transylvania tour (see above). However, the travel experience is more relaxed (5 nights instead of 4), and the tour focuses more on sights related to Vlad the Impaler, the historical character on which Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel is based on.

You will visit the Poienari Fortress (Dracula’s actual fortress, perched high in the Carpathian Mountains) and his supposed resting place at the Snagov Monastery north of Bucharest. For a complete experience of your Romania tours, you will also enjoy an included dinner at the Casa Vlad Dracul restaurant in Sighisoara, none other than Dracula’s birth house.

All hotels are central and, for the Transylvania overnights, located in historical buildings, close (or right on) the Old Town Squares in the cities of Sibiu, Sighisoara and Brasov. You will be within walking distance to the most famous sights in the city and the best restaurants, as well.

• Bucovina UNESCO monasteries tour (5 nights)

Bucharest – Sinaia – Bran – Brasov – Gura Humorului – Bucharest

An itinerary designed for the travelers interested in discovering some of the best examples of religious architecture in Romania – the UNESCO – listed painted monasteries of Bucovina.

This Romania tour includes a glimpse of Transylvania (the medieval city of Brasov), but it focuses on the picturesque region of Bucovina (northeastern Romania). You will discover 4 of the famous painted monasteries. Humble in size, totally astonishing when in comes to their surprisingly well – preserved frescoes.

The painted churches were built in the 15th and 16th centuries and the frescoes follow the Byzantine style, predominant for the Orthodox churches in Eastern Europe. They present faith as the only source of stability in times of turmoil and suffering, as at that point in history, the country was often attacked and plundered by the Ottoman Turks.

Among the four monasteries, the Voronet painted monastery is without a doubt the highlight. Famous for its “Last Judgement” fresco covering a whole exterior wall and sporting a predominant vivid blue background, it is dubbed the “Sistine Chapel of the East”

• Romania budget tour (8 nights)

Bucharest – Curtea de Arges – Sibiu – Sighisoara – Maramures – Bucovina (painted monasteries) – Brasov – Bran Castle – Sinaia – Bucharest

Even if your travel budget is not what you would like it to be, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider a private tour of Romania! Why look for a similarly – priced bus tour, based on an itinerary designed to please the majority of travelers, when you can have a private tour, built around you and your specific interests?

Our budget tour covers the most important historical regions of Romania: Wallachia (with Bucharest and Curtea de Arges), Transylvania (and its citadels, fortified churches and the cities of Sibiu, Sighisoara and Brasov), Maramures (with the wooden churches, the Merry Cemetery and colorful local markets) and Bucovina (famous for its painted monasteries).

And since we know interacting with locals and tasting local food is a great way to discover a country’s culture, we have also included two home hosted dinners in Maramures!

You might wonder: so, with all the features above, how come this is a budget tour? Well, the itinerary is a bit on the fast – paced side, and the hotels, even though they are all fairly central, 3 star properties, with breakfast included, are also  pretty basic. However, just like all our tours, the budget tour can be customized in any way you choose!

• Transylvania and Bucovina tour (8 nights)

Bucharest – Brasov – Bucovina (painted monasteries) – Sighisoara – Sibiu – Targu Jiu – Bucharest

Among our Romania tours, this is an itinerary which focuses on two of Romania’s most famous historical regions – Transylvania and Bucovina. Before reaching Transylvania, however, you will also experience the southern region of Wallachia and some of its highlights: the Romanian capital city of Bucharest and the former princely capital at Curtea de Arges and Targu Jiu, the place where some of the representative sculptures of Constantin Brancusi (Romania’s world -famous sculptor) are located.

Continuing your tour, you will discover the citadels, fortified churches, medieval cities such as Sibiu, Sighisoara and Brasov and enjoy the Saxon, Central European feel this area has to offer. Crossing the Carpathians, you will enter Bucovina, one of the most picturesque regions of the country. Here you will discover the world – famous painted monasteries.

And that is not all! We know that sightseeing may be interesting and exciting, but in order to truly understand a people, interaction with locals is a must. That is why, on this tour, you will enjoy two home hosted dinners in Maramures (one of them featuring a private folklore show performed by villagers), one home hosted lunch in Bucovina, in the home of a famous egg – painting artist (what a great opportunity to learn more about this ancient craft!) and also, for the first time on our Romania tours, we also offer a home hosted dinner with a family of Transylvanian Gypsies (a great chance to learn more about this often controversial ethnic group).
