The legend of the city founder

Welcome to the Old Town. Dating back to the Middle Ages, it’s the oldest enclave of Bucharest. The city as we know it today is a metropolis of over 2 million people. However, back in the 14th century, it was an area covered by thick forests, green pastures and crossed by a small river, called Dambovita. According to legend, the river was so named after the daughter of Bucur, a local shepherd. One day, he was attacked by invaders who kidnapped his daughter, the beautiful Dambovita. Bucur, alongside some friends, bravely chased them for hundreds of miles, all the way to the frozen waters of Dnieper river. The captors tried to cross the icy river, but it shattered and they drowned. Fortunately, Bucur's daughter could swim, and she was pulled out of the icy water. After returning home, to honor his courageous deeds, the place where Bucur lived was renamed after him - Bucuresti - the city of Bucur.

A brilliant, informative, and very fun day trip to Transylvania!

I went to Bucharest as a solo female traveler and wanted to find some way to be able to experience Transylvania without all of the hard work of catching trains! This was perfect.

Wonderful guide…..outstanding history lesson!

This trip was amazing and Serban, as a guide and driver was unsurpassed. This was one of the most pleasant and informational tours we have ever done.

An exciting, insightful experience

Our guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She gave us an excellent historical background of the region and the sites that we visited. She provided us with excellent photos of the castles, and had several good recommendations for how to spend our free time in Brasov.

giornata fantastica grazie anche a una guida fantastica

utto funziona, tutto è gestito e organizzato, né tempi morti ne dispersioni, simpatia e contenuti, devo davvero ringraziare la nostra guida per la fantastica opportunità che ci ha dato: avvicinarci non solo a dei luoghi ma a una cultura a una storia a delle tradizioni…

Day well spent

This was a private tour for us (family of 17). The guide Boogie was one of the best I have come across. Very interactive and pleasant personality. He made our trip fun. Rightly paced, comfortable bus, extra perks /accommodations to suit our likings. Smiling face inspite of delay late in the day.

Dracula Tour in Romania from Bucharest including 'The Ritual of Killing of a Living Dead

This was my dream vacation come true. I will treasure these memories forever. However, the Tour Radar brochure shows this tour is for people 7 - 90 years old. This is very deceiving. There is no way a 90 year old could do all the walking involved. This is a very intense walking tour and there is much walking every day. This needs to be specified. There would be very little wheelchair access along this tour. Additionally, Poienari Fortress has been closed for several years with no plan to reopen anytime soon. This attraction was one of the reasons I booked this specific tour. You need to remove it from the brochure. Again, it is very misleading. Also remove the Borgo Pass, as they do not go there. This was another attraction I wanted to see but did not get to. You may want to add to the brochure that there are several hotels that do not have air conditioning. All that being said I had the most wonderful time.

• Coach / Bus

Classic Romania Tour (small group)

The tour was excellent. I would rate it 11 out of 10. Our tour guide George was the best tour guide that we have ever had. Beautiful country and some amazing experiences in a land of contrasts. George and Rolandia could not do enough for us to ensure that we had the trip of a lifetime. Some of the highlights included a home cooked meal and entertainment, a traditional horse and cart ride, stunning castles and churches, quaint villages and amazing scenery wherever you looked. Thank you George and Rolandia. We are already planning a trip back next year.

Myths and Legends of Transylvania

Romania was more than I imagined. The Castles, The Churches, The Fortified Towns and the History is amazing! Our tour guides Vlad and Georgianna were fabulous. The are very knowledgeable and readily and enthusiastically shared their history of Romania with us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beautiful country of Romania and learn all about its fascinating history.

Romania is a beautiful country. We saw so many places and I enjoyed all the places we stayed. Marcel, our tour guide, was very diligent about finding out what we were most excited to see. As long as we all were agreeable, he was flexible to our wants and needs. There were four of us in the group and two of us were solo travelers. All of our wants and needs aligned well and I think everyone enjoyed the tour. We saw 4 bears, and lots of stray dogs that we stopped for and fed (Romanians take care of their strays). We had a great afternoon with a pottery maker— quite talented. We saw painted monasteries, walled forts, castles and churches. Our group as a whole asked Marcel to bypass some of the monasteries in favor of reaching the cities that we were overnighting at and this gave us some more leisurely time to wander the cities.we ate some great Romanian food. This was a great tour with a flexible guide who is diligent, responsible and fluent in English. I am really glad that I went.

Excellent organizing skills and super pleasant company!
