Due to the current covid situation, I had a private tour that day, which was awesome. Mathias was a great guide, has a lot of general Romanian knowledge along with historical. This made for great conversation on the way to and from the castles. I highly recommend the tour and would gladly do it again with friends and family in the future.

Our first private tour and we were delighted with the experience. The tour was fast-paced, which was fine for us - be ready at 8 am. We saw so much more than if we would have tried it on our own. We were lucky to have a friendly guide, Michael. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, with excellent driving skills. Our plan of visiting Romania during COVID-19 end well, and I hope to discover more in the next years.

We had a great time with our tour guide, Paul!! My boyfriend and I were vaccinated and decided to spend 4 days in Bucharest. We took this tour on a Sunday and due to the Covid season all the locations we visited were pretty clear. I was very appreciative that we didn't have to fight with crowds or long lines to enter the castles. This tour takes you to all the main castles/places in 12 hours. I chose this tour over the other ones offered on Tripadvisor since it gave us a good amount of time at each spot. I liked that we didn't feel rushed & got to really soak everything in. Yes, it seems long but I swear it goes by quick. Expect to walk a lot & definitely pack some easy to eat snacks. Also, don't forget like I did --- PACK COFFEE! The tour starts early and if you're not a morning person, coffee is a must. No more hesitating and just book it. Great price for a quality tour.

Georgiana Highly recommended. From the start, Georgiana communicated closely to really understand and customise an itinerary to suit our likes, interests & schedule for our Brasov to Bucharest holiday. All guides were truly local to the area, which meant we got insights and introductions to local spots not listed in guide books. The flexibility to adapt the itinerary as we went along, impromptu stops (like the best home-made Gelato I’ve ever had, known only to locals), the passion for their craft, the love for their country and sharing not just local knowledge but also personal experiences, made the trip extra special. They kept in constant touch with us from the time we boarded the train in Budapest, Hungary and were greeted right at the platform in Brasov, Romania. It was just us and our guide, on walks and drives to all the various cities, towns and villages, savouring artisanal produce, meeting locals and sharing tales from Brasov to Maros, Sighişoara, Prejmer, Prahova, Bran Castle, Snagov to Bucharest. All experiences were skip the line. Days trips out of Bucharest also took us to places I never heard of and would never have thought to explore, like Fulga De Jos, Buzău, lunch at Ferme Dacilor, Ilfov, from a private tour of the Police Museum in Târgovişte to a private wine tasting then wine blending workshop with the chief winemaker at Budureasca. To think we fit all that in less than 2 weeks - Truly a memorable experience !

The city locals pride themselves with something to do any given evening, regardless the season. There is always someone to meet or see, a good restaurant or terrace to stop by, or simply take a relaxing stroll. All roads go to... not to the proverbial Rome in this case, but to the heart of Sibiu's Old Town, the Big Square.

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.
