Enjoy a 3-hour walking tour in Bihor county and explore the city of Oradea and its cultural highlights with your guide. Oradea, the capitol city of Bihor county, is one of the important economic, social and cultural centers of north-western Romania. The city is holding on to these characteristics throughout its history. Oradea is nestled among hills that divide and unify the Crisana Plains and the hill-like limits of the Apuseni Mountains in a harmonious way. Located on the Crisul Repede River, which divides the city into almost equal halves, Oradea is the gateway to Central and Western Europe. Located about 10 km from Bors – the biggest border point on the western border – Oradea ranks tenth in size out of the Romanian cities. The price is per group for up to 10 tourists.

Very well done & truly fascinating, to still see the bones from the killed animals was really interesting. The caves were huge & very well kept. Also it was very easy to walk through the caves & a guide is included in the very low entrance fee. Please go & enjoy it.

Autumn is a great time to visit Transylvania. One of the highlights for me was the mountain roads and seeing the bright autumn colours in the forests. The scenery is spectacular! Bogdan is an excellent tour guide who entertained me with his stories and knowledge of the castles. He is able to explain the history of the region and to answer any questions. Due to COVID, the castles were not crowded and the lines were short. The cold misty weather when I visited Bran Castle added to the spooky atmosphere.

We made the day trip in 2019. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the car was comfortable and clean. We dealt with Ilona, and she was very helpful in answering all our questions. We especially enjoyed the view of Sighisoara from the City Tower. We would highly recommend Rolandia if you're planning a trip to Transylvania.

We had an amazing night learning how to make dumplings with Sunflower. We learnt the way to make them that she has been practising since she was 4 years old and while it may take us a little while to get as good as her, we learnt quickly under her guidance. It was also a great experience talking to her and learning about what it's like living in China and sharing what it's like living in Australia. She even made a cake for my birthday. If you can't travel (Who can?) and are looking for a great way to feel as though you are, I can't recommend enough jumping on zoom and spending an evening cooking with Sunflower.

My recollections of thelaces we visited in Maramures and Transylvania are a bit hazy -- but what I can say that is that Gelu was an absolutely superb guide -- warm, friendly, and very well informed -- through his insightful commentary I learned so much about Romania's rich cultural heritage -- it was a great pleasure just spending time with Gelu and his lovely daughter Lucia -- both of them wonderful human beings -- If you are looking for a first-class, multidimensional travel experience, you can't do better than Gelu as your guide -- Toby Symington
