About this activity

Day 1: Bucharest – Sinaia – Brasov – Sihisoara (309 km)

Pick up in the morning from your hotel. The first stop ist Sinaia, a very famous mountain resort known also as the Pearl of the Carpathians. Here, you'll visit Sinaia Monastery and Peles Castle, the former summer residence of Romanian royals. Considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe, the construction is impressive thanks to the architectural style and decorations.

The next stop is Brasov, where you will have lunch in a typical restaurant and take a walking tour of the city's historic Old Town. You will see the Council Square, the Council Tower, and the famous Black Church (Biserica Neagra), the largest Gothic construction in Eastern Europe.

In the evening, you'll head to Sighisoara for dinner and stay overnight in the medieval citadel. Do not miss a short walk in the citadel and admire the medieval buildings at the light of the lanterns.

Day 2: Sighisoara – Bran – Bucharest (329 km)

In the morning, have breakfast at your hotel. You'll start the day by visiting the Medieval Citadel of Sighisoara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only medieval citadel in Europe that is still inhabited. The highlights of the citadel are: the house where it is said that Vlad the Impaler (known as Dracula) was born, the Clock Tower (on the top of which you can take some beautiful panoramic pictures with the citadel), the Covered Stairs, and the Evangelical Church.

In the afternoon, you will head to Bran and visit Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle), which became famous thanks to Bram Stoker's classic work of literature.

In the afternoon, return to Bucharest for drop off at your hotel.

We had a very fun and informative visit to Transylvania with our driver/guide Boogie. Sighisoara was a long drive, but so worth it. Such a lovely, historic town. Boogie’s personal touches made it a memorable experience. Would highly recommend.

Great trip. Doing this over 2 days much better than 1 day, plus you visit Sighisaura which is a nice medieval town. Edi was a great guide - very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended trip, they take care of everything.

Good way to see the three principal sites without too much time on the road by spreading it out over two days. We were the only customers on this particular trip so it effectively became a private tour. My only quibble is with the hotel the room was very basic.

The sights and places you visit on this tour are enough reason to book it. We saw so many places and things that were so beautiful, it is impossible to put into words. Our tour guide, Boogie, was quite possibly the best tour guide we've ever encountered. The company scheduled the tour perfectly. There is so much to see in all of these places that it is impossible to see it all, but they showed us as much as time would allow, and we never felt rushed. I recommend this tour with great enthusiasm!

This was a truly informative and unforgettable trip. Our guide, Serban Riga was excellent. He shared his wealth of knowledge of the area and its very rich history, mixing it up with a lot of humor. He made sure we were comfortable, and had lots of time to take pictures. He accommodated us when we asked to stop to take roadside photos. We highly recommend this trip and our guide Serban. The two days is a comfortable pace and does not feel rushed, as there are a lot of places covered with ample time at each stop.

To tell you the truth the only thing I knew about this tour was the visit to Bram castle. I was picked up promptly by our tour guide, Serban Riga. He treated us like Royalty. He took us to places that were beautiful and he was very informative about the history and the geography of the region. He kept the car very clean and was always ready to stop for a bathroom break. He also pulled off the side of the road to allow us to take pictures of storks and of house drawn carriages anytime the opportunity came up. It was a great tour and I would highly recommend it. Ask for Serban Rega....Well worth the .
