★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 31 reviews · 3 days · from $588Our pick

Travel from Bucharest through monasteries, Saxon fortified churches and medieval towns on a three-day small-group tour. You’ll stay two nights in 3-star hotels with breakfast, and visit Sibiu, Biertan, Sighișoara, Brașov, Bran Castle and Peleș Castle. An English-speaking driver-guide leads the route; guides have included Mathew, known for history and humor. Entry fees and most meals cost extra.

“Our three days in Transylvania with Matthew were fantastic. It was a small group—just the two of us and another couple—which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide was an excellent driver, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. We saw some incredible sights just off the side of the road, and the forests were absolutely stunning. The castles we visited were impressive, and the towns of Sibiu and Brașov were really charming and full of character. Both hotels we stayed in were perfect—not too big, with very good breakfasts. Overall, the trip was great value, and we’re very happy with our choice.”

Great at communications and very flexible with our schedule. We were surprisingly amazed by the rich history of Bran Castle and the views in Sighișoara and Brasov.
