Travel throughout Romania in a small group tour of a maximum of 8 travelers.

Dracula, beyond the legend or the cinematic appeal of a blood-thirsty vampire, reveals real-life characters who had heroic yet nonetheless dramatic destinies. One such character is Vlad Tepes, the medieval Romanian prince whose unparalleled cruelty earned him the name of Dracula.

Discover his story on an 8-day tour through Romania, which will take you to some of the places related to the infamous ruler, such as his birthplace (Sighisoara), his castle (Poenari Castle), the place where he was allegedly imprisoned (Corvin Castle), and his final resting place (Snagov Monastery).

You will start exploring Bucharest with a tour of the city’s most famous tourist attraction, the Palace of the Parliament and continue with a walking tour through Bucharest’s Old Town. Day 2 | The second day of your Dracula tour begins with a trip to Târgoviște, a place which served as the capital of the historic region of Wallachia during the Middle Ages. Next, you will visit Poenari, one of the main fortresses of Vlad the Impaler and we will check in at a guest-house on Transfagarasan. Day 3 | In the first part of the day, we will break away from the vampire stories and enjoy some of the spectacular landscapes of Transylvania on Transfăgărășan. You will then reach Sibiu, a city where 600 years ago the legend of Dracula started spreading through the noblemen and merchants that inhabited the city. In Sibiu, you will visit the ASTRA Museum for a wooden carriage ride and you will take a walking tour of the city.

It was an amazing experience. Adalina accommodated all of our very personal requests and changes in stride. She communicated frequently, to ensure we were comfortable from the first email to the last. All admission fees were handled for us, so we were never in lines or without a ticket. Our guide, Emile, was fantastic. His knowledge was impeccable and very personalized. He regaled is with stories of ancient and medieval history on long trips and his insight into the communist paid off Romania was enlightening as well. After seven days it felt like we were family when we parted. Do not hesitate to book with Rolandia. Trust that they will provide you with a one in a lifetime experience in Romania.

We cannot speak highly enough about how great our Rolandia “Dracula Beyond the Legend” tour was with our guide Marcel in July/August 2023. Marcel spoke incredible English and was immensely knowledgeable about Romanian history, culture, religion, traditions and its flora, fauna, wildlife and geography. He was also an excellent driver and knew exactly how to make the most of every sight and location. We cannot believe how much we saw and experienced; Marcel was dedicated, excited to show off his country’s impressive culture and landscapes, and absolutely indefatigable in terms of energy. We had an absolutely wonderful time and we highly recommend Rolandia’s tours to anyone and everyone. We felt most privileged to see Romania through Marcel’s eyes and cannot imagine any better way to experience this beautiful and richly cultured country. In addition to all the spectacular sights (Bran Castle, Peles Castle, and Sibiu were among our all-time favs, but honestly there are too many highlights to name), we also got to see brown bears up close in Transylvania! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful adventure on this tour, with our excellent and friendly guide, Laurentiu. We never saw so many sunflowers in our lives and the Carpathians were breathtaking. As we wondered, our knowledgeable guide brought the history of the region to life, helping us picture what life was and in many cases, still is like there. We particularly loved Sighisoara and Sibiu -- they are living, breathing medieval towns -- vibrant and fascinating. From the ruins of Vlad's court in Targoviste, to the amazing Black Church in Brasov, to Corvin Castle, Romania was an eye-opening wonder for us. In addition, the people that we interacted with were open and kind, with a good grasp of English, and we enjoyed the European ease of dining whenever you want, and everything was fresh. It was a fabulous trip!

We have just completed a really enjoyable and interesting 8 day trip through Transylvania which was enhanced by our guide, Gelu, whose knowledge, enthusiasm and experience were superb. All the arrangements made by Rolandia worked exactly as expected. We substituted a visit to Peles Castle rather than Snagov Monastery as the former is of more interest and lay on our route. The accommodation throughout (4* hotels) was better than we had expected. All in all, apart from the Bucharest traffic, it was a most enjoyable trip.
Romania is awesome. Great value for money

The itinerary covers the main sites in Transylvania. Our guide Andrei looked after us so well and showed us that there was much more to Transylvania than we thought.

We had a wonderful time, and Romanians are the nicest people we have met. The sights and hotels were beyond our expectations. On the day we were scheduled to drive the transfagarasan highway it was raining and very foggy. Florin suggested we get a cup of coffee and wait for 5-10 min. The fog cleared and we had bright sunshine!!! I got to see the highway . I highly recommend this tour and would definitely recommend Florin as your guide.
This was a great tour! The tour...

This was a great tour! The tour company was great to work with and our guide, Florin, was awesome! Aside from the history lessons Florin provided, he took great care of us. Always made sure we got checked into our hotels without incident. The castles, monasteries and citadels we visited were amazing. Sibiu was a favorite ... a charming Old Town. Romania is a beautiful country full of history, beauty, great food and wonderful people. I would definitely recommend!!
