About this activity

Starting from your hotel, you will be picked up by our guide and driver. The first stop on our tour will be the Mogosoaia Palace, situated approx. 10 kilometres from Bucharest. The palace was built between 1698 and 1702, by Constantin Brancoveanu, in a renaissance style, combining Venetian and Ottoman elements. Also known as domain, being formed by the next buildings: the actual Palace, Gheorghe Bibescu Chapel, Ice House, St. Gheorghe’s Church and also the Mogosoaia Greenhouses.

The tour then continues with a stop at Snagov Monastery, an important medieval monument, which is located on an island on the Northern part of Lake Snagov. Among our visiting objects you will find the alleged tomb of Vlad Tepes, also known as Dracula in international literature.

I thought this small group tour was extremely nice. The hotel pickup and drop-off was much appreciated. On the short drive to Mogosoaia Palace the guide provided a commentary on the city sights. The Palace grounds and adjacent church was very pretty. The Palace has been nicely reconstructed and has numerous works of art displayed. A flutist was practicing in a downstairs room and the sound of his flute carried throughout the Palace making for a nice atmosphere. After a short drive we reached the bridge to cross over to the Snagov monastery which has quite a history. It is a very peaceful location and the church interior portrays many religious scenes. This is a very nice 1/2 day tour that lets you see the countryside outside of Bucharest.

This was the best excursion we have ever taken in any other city in the world.our friends agreed with us.Both employees the guide Daniel and the driver Bogadan were very professional. The guide was extremely informative.In fact they went the extra mile when we explained we had missed lunch they made a special stop so we could get snacks and drinks.People booking this trip in the future should ask for these two gentlemen to conduct it.

The guide seemed inexperience. The driver pick us without saying a word, not sure if he spoke English or not. By the time we visited the monastery and palace, we've seen better and so far more beautiful sites.

Areas to see not very impressive and tour guide not very good at providing context to sites visited. Had to ask a lot of questions about what we were seeing and why and very superficial answers. Would not recommend. get another tour company and tour guide.

Wow! Our tour guide Roberto was amazing. The palace was truly beautiful and we meant so much history! My highlight was Snagov and getting to see the tomb of headless Vlad the Impaler. Please take a few hours to take this tour. Thank you Roberto for a fabulous tour.
