Happy Halloween in Transylvania

Please try to pack light and keep your luggage compact. During the trip you’ll be using public transport, where storage space can be limited. You should be comfortable lifting your bag onto overhead racks, walking with it over cobblestone streets, and carrying it up and down stairs.
Autumn in Romania can be cooler than many travellers expect, so it’s a good idea to bring warm layers.
In many European hotels, double beds are less common and rooms may have two single beds that can be placed together if needed. Some smaller hotels and guesthouses may also offer shared bathrooms instead of private ensuite facilities.
This tour is designed around the Halloween season in October. If you prefer to travel to Romania at another time of year, you might consider trips such as Budapest to Bucharest or the Eastern Europe Explorer, which continues further south into Bulgaria.

Visa information is provided by Sherpa, a trusted third-party. The “Add connection” feature only shows transit visa requirements and does not cover full entry visas. U.S. citizens traveling to Italy for stays under 90 days typically do not need a tourist visa. Additional service fees may apply if you choose to purchase a visa through Sherpa. Always check official sources before traveling.

Occasional Alternative Accommodation
The accommodation listed in the daily itinerary is intended as a guide. In rare cases, if our usual hotels are fully booked, we may arrange a similar property of the same standard for your stay.
Twin-Share Rooms
Accommodation on this tour is generally on a twin or multi-share basis. Solo travellers will usually share a room with another traveller of the same gender, based on the gender listed in their passport. Please note that some properties may offer shared bathroom facilities rather than private en-suite rooms. On rare occasions, you may also share accommodation with travellers from other tours.
Check-In Times
We always ask hotels to prepare rooms as early as possible, especially when our group arrives before the official check-in time. However, this cannot always be guaranteed. If rooms are not ready upon arrival, you will be able to leave your luggage at the hotel and begin exploring the destination.
Pre- and Post-Trip Accommodation
If you have booked additional nights before or after the tour (when available), you may need to move to a different room from the one used during the main trip.
Facilities
Please note that not all accommodations will include private en-suite bathrooms or air conditioning. It is also common for European hotels not to provide items such as kettles or mini fridges in the rooms.

Please note: flight arrangements

We can assist with booking flights from any airport in the United States that is convenient for you. Occasionally, alternative routing or airlines may need to be arranged due to availability, but we will always ensure your flights align with your tour dates and provide the same level of comfort and reliability. Our goal is to make your journey to Romania smooth, stress-free, and perfectly timed with your tour.
