Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!

Beware of "Guaranteed Departure" with Rolandia! I signed up for this 4-day tour and paid for it in advance specifically because as a solo traveler, guaranteed departure was important. At no time during the booking and paying process was any minimum number of people listed or cited. Relying on that, I then reserved non-refundable hotel rooms for the nights before and after the trip. Several weeks before the trip, Rolandia emails me to cancel the "guaranteed departure". I had to scramble to make my own train, hotel, and day trip bookings. While they refunded my payment and offered alternatives that would not work for me (such as after my flight leaving Romania), they refused to compensate me for my hotel room in Bucharest the night before the guaranteed tour which I could not use because I needed to be in Brasov that night to start tours first thing the next morning. So, if you see "Guaranteed Departure" from Rolandia, think again!

This was a dream trip of mine, and I was not disappointed! I escaped from my teaching duties to travel throughout Romania as the passenger princess of the endlessly amazing Emil! I was a bit nervous as this is my first solo trip in a country I don’t speak the language, but Emil took phenomenal care of me. Not only did he drive carefully on the road, but he remained calm during situations in which I would have been a ball of stress. He was patient as I failed miserably at learning some Romanian and asked him various questions. His knowledge seemed so endless that I don’t think he ever answered me with “I’m not sure”—even when I asked him about the species of trees in the area! He also took amazing pictures when I was too shy/embarrassed to ask. He had excellent restaurant and dish recommendations. He taught me so much about the culture and history of Romania that I fell even further in love with the country. He was extremely kind and took very good care of his weird little American client—despite her habit of escaping up stairs without ropes across them. Thanks so much, Emil! The tour company was kind and helpful as I originally signed up for a group tour—but no one else joined. They were kind enough to organize a private tour for me as these were the dates of my Fall Break from school. I came for castles and mountains and that was exactly what I got! Emil worked his magic to open doors and got us into all the castles and citadels and churches. He then explained the history and legends of the location as we walked around. It was truly an amazing experience and I couldn’t pick a favorite spot if I tried! Thanks so much!

This was an excellent 4-day tour by private vehicle of the castles of Transylvania. We saw and walked through about a dozen medieval castles and fortified churches, and saw an extensive amount of the Transylvanian countryside as well as notable cities. Our guide was excellent and highly knowledgeable on the subject matter of this tour. If you are fascinated by castles and the lore of Dracula, this is the tour for you!

I honestly do not know if my words can truly describe how incredible this trip was and the exceptional, first-class service our guide, Traian, provided. We saw so many amazing castles, citadels, and fortified churches and did so much in four days that it is difficult to pick any one favorite. Peles Castle is truly the most beautiful; Bran (Dracula’s) Castle, the most eerie and intriguing; and Corvin Castle comes straight out of a fairytale. As for the citadels, I have to say that I favor Cetatea Rupea and for the churches, The Black Church, Biserica and Biertan held their own fascinating unique history of how they provided protection to their villagers. For the nights, we stay in the beautiful towns of Brasov, Sighisoara (birthplace of Vlad Dracula), and Sibiu. We enjoyed delightful outings walking the streets, seeing all the shops, the people, and enjoying the local foods. It was our wedding anniversary during our stay in Sibiu, and with the help of our guide, Traian, he secretly (unknown to my wife) arranged dinner at a wonderful restaurant for my wife and me. There was even a surprise anniversary cake with candles. Oh, and the hotels that we stayed at each night were amazingly distinctive to the town and culture. And, finally, on the last day, we traveled through the Carpathian Mountains along the famous Transfagarasan Road witnessing the beautifully breathtaking, winding, scenic route on our way back to Bucharest. We even had quite a few photo shoot opportunities of brown bears along the roadside. While I am sure that I have missed much, I just have to say that you must experience this marvelous adventure for yourselves. You will be astonished.
Excellent tour and guide! Highly recommend!

We were so impressed with this tour and our wonderful guide, Traian. It was even better than we had hoped! The trip was so well organized and all the accommodations were wonderful. Traian was so polite, informative, fun and made us feel safe at all times. He gave us options and we could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this tour and Traian as a guide. You will not be disappointed!
