Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa to visit Romania as a US citizen?

US citizens do not need a visa to visit Romania for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Romania joined the Schengen Area in 2024, so your Schengen entry count applies. All you need is a valid US passport — valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date. No advance paperwork or embassy visit is required.

Will my phone work in Romania, and can I get data without paying US roaming rates?

Wi-Fi is widely available and free throughout Romania — in hotels, restaurants, cafés, and most tourist sites — so staying connected is rarely a problem. However, if you prefer mobile data on the go, we highly recommend getting a local eSIM rather than relying on your US carrier’s international roaming plan, which can be significantly more expensive. If your phone supports eSIM (most modern iPhones and Android devices do), we can provide you with a local Romanian eSIM with flexible data plans at a fraction of what US carriers charge. Just ask us when booking and we’ll sort it out before or upon arrival.

What is the best time of year to visit Romania?

May through September is the most popular window — long daylight hours, warm weather, and all sites fully open. Spring (April–May) and early autumn (September–October) offer mild temperatures with fewer crowds and beautiful countryside scenery. December brings magical Christmas markets in Transylvania and Bucharest. We run tours year-round and are happy to advise on the best timing based on your specific interests.

Are your tours private, or will I be with a group of strangers?

All our tours are 100% private. Your guide is exclusively yours — whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends. You set the pace, ask all the questions you want, and focus on what interests you most. There are no strangers in your group, no fixed group departure times, and no rushing to keep up with a crowd.

How do I book a tour, and do I need to pay upfront?

Booking is simple — contact us through the website and we will confirm your date and details within 24 hours. We offer a Reserve Now, Pay Later option so you can lock in your spot without any upfront payment. This gives you full flexibility to plan ahead with confidence, especially when booking international travel months in advance. Payment details and options will be communicated at the time of confirmation.

What currency is used in Romania, and should I bring cash?

Romania uses the Romanian Leu (RON), not the Euro. ATMs are widely available in cities and larger towns, and most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept major credit cards. However, we recommend carrying some local cash for rural areas, markets, and smaller eateries. Currency exchange offices (known as casa de schimb) offer better rates than airport exchanges — avoid exchanging money at the airport if possible.

Is Romania safe for American tourists?

Romania is a safe and welcoming destination for American travelers. The US State Department currently rates Romania at Level 1 — Exercise Normal Precautions, the same advisory level as most Western European countries. Our guests consistently report feeling very safe and warmly received throughout their journey. As with any international travel, standard awareness applies — keep an eye on your belongings in busy areas and use reputable transportation.

Can tours be customized to my interests and travel dates?

Absolutely — customization is one of our core strengths. Whether you are passionate about Dracula and the castles of Transylvania, communist history and the Cold War era, Jewish heritage, painted Orthodox monasteries, rural village life, or local food and wine, we tailor the experience entirely around you. We also accommodate different fitness levels, family needs, and travel paces. Simply tell us what excites you most and we will design the perfect itinerary.

Do your guides speak English? What languages are available?

All our guides are fluent English speakers — most are university-educated in English or have native-level proficiency. Our tours are also available in French and Italian. Our guides are professional historians and storytellers, deeply knowledgeable about Romanian history, culture, and local life, and are highly rated by American travelers on TripAdvisor / Viator for their warmth, depth of knowledge, and genuine passion for Romania.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

We offer flexible cancellation options designed with international travelers in mind. Tours can generally be cancelled or rescheduled with full refund eligibility when sufficient notice is provided — specific terms vary by tour and booking platform. Our Reserve Now, Pay Later option means many bookings carry zero financial risk until closer to your travel date. Please contact us directly and we will walk you through the exact terms for your booking.
