2020 Budget Tour in Transylvania - One Week Private Tour Only For Your Group

We know that you are concerned about travelling overseas because of Coronavirus Pandemic. For our mental state of mind doing the activities we like is essential, of course, keeping all safety measures. In the same time, we realize that it is a difficult period from the financial point of view as well.

We hope that from this summer situation will start to get better and we’ll be able to travel again and enjoy life ! We, at Touring Romania Private Guided Tours decided to offer some options at lower prices for 2020. We understand the moment the world is going through, so we propose this One Week Private Guided  Tour in Transylvania. We focus on more remote areas, very beautiful with superb landscapes, not crowded and offer you a more personal experience by meeting the locals and see their traditions. Only you and your group will be travelling and we’ll choose small beautiful accommodations, small pensions or apartments.
 

Transylvania is very well known being a must for everyone visiting Romania. Many people thinks about Transylvania as the land of Dracula and because of Bran Castle. In this program, we’ll show you that Transylvania is far more than Dracula and Bran Castle. It’s about history, medieval castles, medieval cities, a rich saxon heritage, saxon villages and local food!

Day 1
We meet you at the Airport in Bucharest and take you to your Hotel. We’ll choose for this year a smaller hotel, not so crowded. Or, if you are ok with this, we can choose for you an apartment only for you and your group, in a centrally located area. After you accommodate, we’ll have a walking tour in Bucharest for 3-4 hours to mark the main sites of the Capital. You  learn about Bucharest and Romania’s history. A special part of the walking tour in Bucharest will be related on the communist past of Romania and how it affected our country and city. So, you’ll enjoy a communist tour of Bucharest as well. We’ll recommend you good places to enjoy dinner in the evening. OVERNIGHT IN BUCHAREST
