Good poenari & snagov trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Visit Snagov Monastery and Mogosoaia Palace on a five-hour Bucharest tour with an English-speaking guide, transport, and countryside views.
“Nicos was an excellent guide and gave plenty of information on this peaceful tour away from the hustle and bustle of thr city”
Visit three Orthodox monasteries and Mogosoaia Palace from Bucharest on a flexible private tour with hotel pickup and an English-speaking guide.
“Toni is a fantastic guide. It’s a private tour, so he just picked me up in his car and drove me to all three locations. He gave the history of each, and he clearly knew his stuff. Considering how distant the three sites are, this is really the only way to do it. It was a great experience.”
Review of Bucharest’s private half-day tour to Snagov Monastery and Mogosoaia Palace, with practical advice on value, guides, timing, and pickup.
“It was the tour that never happened… Ten minutes before our scheduled pick up time we received an email from the provider advising the tour was cancelled. We were already waiting in the hotel foyer for our pickup. It’s hard to put into words our level of frustration. And we’re still waiting for our refund.”
Hike 1,480 steps to Poenari Fortress, visit Curtea de Argeș Monastery and Vidraru Dam on a private mountain trip from Bucharest.
“This tour wasn’t part of our original plan, but with almost everything closed in Bucharest for Easter, we decided to book it last minute – and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The nature was absolutely stunning, and spotting the bears was an unforgettable experience! Even though the Poenari Fortress was closed, our guide adjusted the route, taking us into the mountains instead, where we enjoyed some beautiful views. It felt like a real adventure, and we came back with amazing photos and memories.”
Visit Dracula’s supposed grave, forest monasteries, and Mogosoaia Palace on a practical half-day trip from Bucharest.
“Excellent small group trip with a friendly group of people. Matthew was a great guide. The Monestry and Palace were both worth the visit, but please take cash for entry to the Monestry and you will need to pay extra if you wish to take photos inside in both”
Visit Mogosoaia Palace and Vlad the Impaler’s tomb on a relaxed private half-day tour from Bucharest with hotel pickup.
“Both, The Palace and the Church are worth the visit. We had enough time to go inside the palace and around it to enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. The Monastery is very interesting being the burial place of Vlad. Our guide was fantastic. Very patient and nice.”
Visit Snagov Monastery and Mogosoaia Palace from Bucharest with a private guide, hotel pickup, entrance fees, Wi-Fi, and flexible transport.
