The best guide and the best tour
Another great tour with Nicolas. My girlfriend and I were fascinated again by this wonderful tour, the proof being some of the pictures posted here. On the way, Nicolas introduced us to the history of the places, stopped as many times as we needed and listened to quality music. It was two wonderful days and we will definitely call on this company again. The guides are also very well trained, and the company manager, Nicolas, when he is not the guide doing the tour, makes sure that everything is perfect and that the people he works with are of the best quality. The road is fascinating, Nicolas stopped to take pictures of bears, we saw storks with their young, squirrels, even a hedgehog. Everything was arranged perfectly as always and I have no reason why I would not use the services of this company again. This tour is wonderful and I recommend it to everyone!
Response from the operator: Dear, Alexandra! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We are thrilled that you loved your experience. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day! Thanks for your kind words and you are welcome any time to reach us again! Best Regards! Nicolas

An amazing adventure
From Our first contact Nicolas, he responded promptly to all my messages and there were a lot, I trusted him. Our 2 days trip to be suitable for a mobility scooter or limited walking and our interests. Unfortunately Nicolas was unwell for our trip but still corresponded and arranged for Daniel to be our guide. I have to say Daniel was simply amazing, polite and a walking encyclopaedia! He went the extra mile helping me and nothing was too much trouble for him. We visited Libearty Bear Sanctuary which is a must, but take a box of tissues, we saw Bran Castle and Gardens. Day 2 we were on Transfagarasan Road which was amazing with all seasons in a day including snow, yay! We were extremely honoured to see a bear cub which in itself would be enough, but the spectacular scenery was was the icing on the cake. Photos don’t do it justice it’s truly a place to see in person. Daniel was the perfect replacement, we all loved our experience and the history of this fabulous country. We would definitely book again with Nicolas and Daniel they were simply the best tour guides we’ve had and we’d give a 6 rating if possible. Until next time ... 😍 Liz Toni Sally
Response from the operator: Dear, Liz! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! I need to mention that I really wanted to be your guide in this tour, because we had nice email exchange for planning our trip, but unfortunately ...I couldn't make it ! We are thrilled that you loved the tour with Daniel and he told me that all 3 of you are nice persons and was a pleasure showing you a small part of Romania! We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day! Thanks for your kind words and you are welcome next year to visit together Danube Delta and me a your tour guide :) ! Best Regards! Nicolas

2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest cost?
+
Prices start at $744 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Private Tour Transfagarasan Road & Sibiu from Bucharest start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
