Amazing trip with an even more amazing guide - We had a great time on our tour with George! We loved all the spots we stopped at and George taught us so much about their history. Would’ve loved to have more time in Corvin Castle and Alba fortress but it was great to give a taste. It has definitely given us a desire to come back and explore more. George was also so helpful at giving us tips for exploring Romania as well as the other countries on our trip. We would recommend this to anyone.

Entranced in Transylvania - This excursion was, quite possibly, the best I've ever had. The day included a tour of the Turda salt mine, an engineering feat turned into a work of art, Corvin Castle, the most spectacular castle I've ever seen and a key sight I wanted to see on my trip to Romania, and the Alba fortress, which was absolutely lovely. But it wasn't just that the designated sights were amazing, though they were, but more the synergy between the guide and the other group members. We laughed and joked like old friends, though we'd never met before. Our guide was just a good friend who wanted to share the day showing others the beautiful sights of his country. At day's end, many members of the group had become so close that they continued spending time with one another well into the evening. Simply put, I highly recommend this tour by Rolandia.
