Voyzo runs 11 private tours across 1 destination in Romania, covering 8 attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
Romania is a Southeastern European republic of about 19 million people on the eastern side of the Carpathian Mountains, which arc through the middle of the country. It's an EU and NATO member that kept its own currency, the Romanian leu, rather than adopting the euro, and Romanian is unusual in the region for being a Romance language — a legacy of the Roman province of Dacia, whose name still surfaces in Romanian identity today. Bucharest, the capital, sits on the southern plain, while Transylvania — the country's best-known region abroad — lies across the mountains to the north and west.
Voyzo's routes lean into Transylvania's real draws: Bran Castle (marketed as 'Dracula's Castle,' though the Bram Stoker link is fictional rather than historical), the medieval walled town of Sighișoara, Corvin Castle, and Sibiu, plus two of Europe's most celebrated mountain drives, the Transfăgărășan and Transalpina, both crossing the Carpathians. Bucharest's own capital-city sights and the Danube Delta's wetlands, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, round out the routes that head beyond Transylvania.
Because Transylvania's towns and mountain passes are spread across a large stretch of the country and public transit doesn't reach many of the smaller historic towns directly, Voyzo pairs a private driver and vehicle for every day of ground transport with English-speaking guides at the historic sites — including on the routes originally sold as self-drive or self-guided rentals, which Voyzo runs the same way but with a private driver instead of handing you a rental car.

Romania is an EU member, and most Western nationalities — including US, UK, Canadian, and Australian citizens — can enter visa-free for short tourist stays; Romania's Schengen status has been evolving in recent years, so it's worth confirming current entry and border requirements before you travel.
Romanian is the official language and, unusually for the region, a Romance language related to Italian, French, and Spanish rather than a Slavic one; English is widely spoken among younger Romanians and in the tourism industry.
Romania is generally regarded as a safe country for travelers, with low violent crime rates; ordinary precautions around petty theft apply in Bucharest's busier tourist areas, as in most European capitals.
Romania uses the Romanian leu (RON) rather than the euro, despite its EU membership; card payment is widely accepted in cities, but local cash is useful in smaller Transylvanian towns.
Bran Castle's 'Dracula's Castle' branding rests on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel rather than a documented historical connection — Vlad the Impaler, the 15th-century Wallachian ruler often cited as Stoker's inspiration, has his own real and separate history worth learning alongside the legend.
Romania was under communist rule from 1947 until the 1989 revolution that ended Nicolae Ceaușescu's regime; Bucharest's Palace of Parliament, one of the largest administrative buildings in the world, dates from that era and remains one of the city's most visited sights.
