4-Day Private Tour in Transylvania from Bucharest

Posted By : Barbara W
Mihai is personable, knowledgeable and an outstanding guide. We planned a private tour of Transylvania with Mihai’s assistance. He asked questions to insure that we did and saw what interests us, not a cookie cutter trip.
We had booked a three week journey with him that unfortunately was cancelled due to Covid. Fortunately we were able connect with him post Covid. Transylvania is a great destination. If you are planning a trip there we highly recommend connecting with him. As an aside, he is an excellent and very safe driver.

Really enjoyed this trip. Mihai looked after us really well, and he has superb knowledge of the history of the region. Accommodation in the traditional hotels was really comfortable. Plan to do the more northern leg next time!

Absolutely beautiful tour of Romania with our new friend Mihai, who was always enthusiastic about sharing knowledge of his home country.
If you're comparing tours, know that Mihai and his company provide a customizable experience, in a comfortable vehicle, and he is honestly the best driver I've experienced in visits to over 65 countries.
Driving the transfagarasan on this tour was an absolute delight, seeing the beauty of the countryside, the "real" Dracula castle, and several adorable brown bears along the way.
Definitely my go to guide for my next visit!

Our tour with Mihai was fantastic!!! Not only did we see the sights and learn history along the way, but we also learned about life, culture, education, and society in Romania today. Mihai was generous in providing his personal story so that we could fully appreciate his country. In every way, his tourism expertise and services were superb. My husband and I highly recommend him.

We just returned from our wonderful trip to Romania. Alin was our guide. He did a great job showing us the beauty of his country. The trip was perfect in every way. We were able to experience interactions with locals that would have not been possible without him.

We did this 4 day private Transylvania tour along with another couple with Mihai from Bucharest prior to our river cruise and it was beyond our expectations. From our initial email to the last (and we sent many inquiring about the tour) Mihai's responses were always prompt and very helpful. You will feel like you are travelling with your best friend or a family member. He knows Romania in detail and provides extraordinary knowledge of his beautiful country. He is very flexible as we added a trip to Villa Vinea Winery which was wonderful and worth the side trip. He offers several choices for accommodations, all of which are unique in their own ways. After reflecting on our 21 day river cruise from Bucharest to Amsterdam, we have to say that this tour with Mihai to Transylvania was at the top of the list of our most memorable experiences ever. Mihai has a passion for sharing his country with visitors. If you want a relaxed and educational tour of Transylvania, Romania look no further than Mihai.

From the first email I sent to Mihai I knew he got what I wanted. He tweaked the tour as we had 6 people, pickup at airport, hotels he nailed, drive to port last day. Peles Castle, Bran Castle, Brasov, Cluj all the hotels were boutique and very easy to work with. Every suggestion he made as "value added" was appreciated. Most days started with a walking tour of wherever we happened to be, and then some driving, lunch, we visited a coppersmith, a weaver, the Salt Mines (very cool) and so many castles and citadels I lose track. Was a super super awesome land tour before our River cruise and actually it was 5 or 6 days as he customized perfectly. I don't have a favorite day, I loved every day and they were all unique and different. Mihai is a super great guy and I hope we see each other again! As a TA I will send him more people!

This! Was the highlight of our 15 days in Eastern Europe. George is a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed everything but I think our favorite was riding on the Traditional Romanian horse cart through the small rural village. We added it to the existing tour. It was so beautiful. From Peles Castle to the many fortifications learning about Romania from a local was an incredible experience. As a travel agent I would not hesitate to send my clients with I Travel in Romania.

Thank you for such a memorable experience Thank you George!

If you are looking to spend some time learning about the real Transylvania, not time spent in gift shops or eating lunches in hotels, then we can highly recommend this tour.
Let’s start with the most important piece of any tour, the guide. Mihai had great communication with us even prior to meeting him in person. His sense of humor and his responsible nature was apparent from the first inquiry until he left us in Bucharest upon the end of the tour. Mihai is knowledgeable in Romania’s history, from medieval times, through the Communist era, all the way through their addition to the EU. He is open-minded and explains everything in as much detail as one wants. He has a quick sense of humor that encourages laughter, so learning from him is not a dry bore. He was open to answering questions about life in Romania as well. I might add that he was always on time, in a clean and well maintained car.
Second most important piece, tour content. It is apparent that Mihai has done this a time or two in the past as he has selected the best towns to visit for the overnights. We loved that he allowed us to select which hotel best suited us from a small list of options. That helped us choose the best hotels for our tastes. We also appreciated that we were left on our own in the evenings to explore these small towns on our own. Perhaps the highlight of our days with Mihai was the possibility to eat in local homes, to enjoy meals cooked by local women and to chat with artisans without feeling the need to buy anything. We will never forget the lovely woman, who spoke no English, but shared through hand signals how she prepared the Polenta with Cheese! Then there was the blacksmith and his adorable son who showed us how horseshoes are made. These are the experiences that make a tour. These are the memories that last.
Last piece, value. We believe that we paid a fair price for this tour. To have an expert with us, talking about Romania and how each country‘s history has made the world what it is today was priceless.
I guess the bottom line is this: If you are looking to see the “real” Romania with a talented and knowledgeable guide, do not hesitate to book this tour. You will be glad you did!
