Best Tour of Romania – Costs

The most important factor when choosing a tour of Romania is the price. Travelers need to know how much each itinerary costs and how much they need to pay for food and transportation. Your final cost can be influenced by the length of the tour, by the special events included or by the type of accommodation required. Standard prices are calculated based on double occupancy. If you don’t want to share a room, you will also have to pay the ‘Single Supplement’ fee.
Furthermore, a Private Itinerary costs more than a regular escorted tour because we provide the same high-quality services for a smaller group. In addition, we have to organize everything outside the regular schedules since these specific itineraries allow you to depart on a date of your choice.
On average, you will pay around €1200 for a 7-Days tour and about €650 for a short break. The exact amounts are displayed on each tour page.

How much does food cost in Romania?
If you plan on visiting Transylvania during our itineraries and do not intend to wander off on your own, then your meals are covered. We provide dinner and breakfast on almost every day of the tour, so you don’t have to worry about this aspect. If you intend to extend your stay or have lunch on your account in the windows we provide for this reason, you should have an idea about the prices.
According to Budget Your Trip, travelers spend about 104 lei / day on meals. This is based on three meals / day. If you travel with us, you will only have to spend money on one daily meal, so the sum will be significantly lower.
While meal prices in Romania can vary, the average cost of food in Romania is lei104 per day. Based on the spending habits of previous travelers, when dining out an average meal in Romania should cost around lei41 per person. Breakfast prices are usually a little cheaper than lunch or dinner. The price of food in sit-down restaurants in Romania is often higher than fast food prices or street food prices.
Budget Your Trip
Transportation Costs in Romania
During our tours, we provide transfers between the included attractions. Depending on the size of the group, you will travel in a car, minibus or even in a coach. The following information applies if you decide to wander off on your own and visit attractions which are not included in our itinerary.
The most common means of transportation are buses and the subway (where available – at the moment we only have a subway system in Bucharest). If you choose either the bus or the train, you should know that they are generally very crowded. Watch out for pickpockets as they like to take advantage of large crowds and steal people’s belongings.
A taxi might seem like a better option, but keep in mind that the fares can get quite expensive depending on how many destinations you intend to reach this way. Furthermore, some drivers may attempt to scam you. A common tactic they employ with foreigners who don’t know the city is to circle you around in order to increase the amount on the meter. Tracking the ride on a GPS app can save you from paying an artificially increased price. Furthermore, some drivers will attempt to negotiate the fare upfront. Avoid them, as the amount of money they require is always higher than what the real cost of the ride.
Ridesharing apps are the best alternative to taxis as you can see the price of the ride in the app before your car arrives. If you have multiple destinations on your list, it might even be better to rent a car. This way, you don’t depend on public transportation and you avoid the risks that come with using buses or taxis entirely.
Is it safe to visit Romania?

According to several country rankings, Romania is generally safe.
- The Global Terrorist Database places our country on position 138/163, which means that no terrorist attacks have occured here
- The Global Peace Index, which accounts for factors such as militarization, society, security or domestic and interest conflict ranks Romania on position 22/163. This also supports the fact that our country is safe for tourists
Crime rate in Romania is lower than the European average. You can walk on our streets knowing that it’s safe for you. On the other hand, corruption in our country is, unfortunately, at a high level. You may find yourself in a situation where authorities propose a solution which they claim is ‘mutually beneficial’. If it doesn’t sound right to you, it most likely isn’t, so you should refuse and seek legal justification.
Need to Know before traveling on an amazing tour of Romania
- Confirm your passport is valid for 6 months from when you think your trip will end. Don’t get stranded.
- Get comprehensive travel insurance to cover you and your gear. Get insurance that’s right for you and covers your activities in the places you’ll go. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.
- Consider your physical and mental health. Get advice from your doctor if you’re unsure.
- See your doctor or travel clinic 8 weeks before you go for a basic health check
- Check if your medication is legal and available in the places you’re going. Take enough of your prescribed medicines to last the whole trip. Carry copies of your prescription and a letter from your doctor.
- Tell your bank you’re travelling and check if your cards will work. Have several payment options.
Driving
As we mentioned before, we include transfers to each of the include attractions. This information is, once again, important if you intend to extend your stay on your account. If you have multiple destinations, you will most likely have to rent a car as it is the most comfortable option.
If you drive inside cities, pay extra attention at your surroundings. Some drivers break the law by performing risky overtakes or crossing red lights. However, if you are careful and respect the law, you shouldn’t have any trouble. Also inside cities, finding a parking spot can be quite the challenge. Instead of trying to park as close as possible to your destination, you should look for a dedicated parking lot nearby.
Outside cities, you will have to drive a lot on National Roads. We have highways as well, but they don’t cover a large distance, so you will inevitably end up on a ‘DN’ (National Road). You may encounter situations when, on a one lane per direction area, drivers will overtake one or more slow cars ahead of them through the opposite lane. Also, National Roads pass through a lot of villages, where you may encounter carts and animals on the road.
Pickpocketing
Pickpockets are, unfortunately, active on our streets. They usually operate in crowded areas or in the public transport (buses, trams or the subway). Their tactics involve cutting your bag or purse open and disappearing with your belongings before you can realize what happened. You should always keep the items you are carrying within eyesight as this discourages pickpockets.
If you have the possibility, we recommend leaving your most valuable belongings in the hotel safe and carry only the essentials with you.
According to Romanian laws:
- Always carry photo ID – you should keep the original passport or ID card somewhere safe and carry photocopies with you
- You are prohibited from taking photos of airports, military sites or other secure locations (this includes drones – be careful, as you might have a non-pleasant surprise if you accidentally fly a drone in military airspace)
- Penalties for drug offences are severe. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, you can face up to 20 years in jail. Authorities are focusing more on finding the dealers rather than the users, but it’s always best to avoid getting in trouble
Travel Insurance
Always get travel insurance before leaving your country. It can save you from getting into financial trouble in case of an unexpected situation. For instance, you might require medical services while abroad. Your healthcare plan will most likely not apply outside your country. This means that free care or subsidized costs are not available. However, a good insurer will cover all the expenses.
How many days do you need for a tour of Romania?

An important criteria when choosing the itinerary which suits you best is its length. Our catalog includes tours ranging from 1-Day City Breaks to 3-Days Short Breaks or even the Awarded 7-Days experiences in the land of Dracula.
