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.

I connected with Secret Romania thru trip.me. Florin and I worked together to put together a 9 day trip with a driver/tour guide. Florin was so easy to work with. He accommodated everything I asked for. He responded so quickly when I sent emails even though we are 10 hours apart. He picked us up from the airport and took us to get something to eat before we settled into our hotel. In the morning we met our tour guide Ana. She was amazing! We drove around the country together for 9 days. She knew the history of everything, wherever we went. She even added a few off the beaten path stops that most people never see. She was so friendly, funny and happy. We had a trip that was far greater than we ever expected! We have traveled a lot, but must say this was one of our favorite trips! I highly recommend Romania and without reservation I highly suggest Florin, Ana and Secret Romania if you are going there. Many of our friends have put this on their bucket list after seeing all our pictures. I told them Secret Romania and Florin Preda are the only way to go!! Cant say enough great things about them. Just trust me! Use them!

My boyfriend and I went on a search for the real Dracula with Ion. At first we didn’t know it was a personal tour and we didn’t know if we had to pack stuff to leave in a bus, car etc with other people. I was so excited to know it was a personal tour. No worries about leaving things behind in a vehicle while exploring. Ion was very informative and he was very knowledgeable about Romanian history. There were a few stops and we ate a lunch next to the Poenari castle. I was a bit worried about the 1400 steps at the castle since I have problems with asthma and the cold(it was December). But there was no rush on how fast we trekked up the stairs. He didn’t even seem to mind that I had Dante my plushie with me!

This was not intended to be a private tour, but it ended up being so. I was solo traveling Romania and wanted very specific things to be included in the day - this was a tour that had it all. As a new tour option, not a lot of people had booked it, so I ended up being the only one for the day. I had the time of my life with Mimi! She came and picked me up at the meet up location. We started with the bear sanctuary. Very informative, you will see rescued bears up close and personal. We then made the trip to the next two castles as well as stopping for a brief lunch. I truly felt like I had a friend by my side experiencing the castle tours with me. During the car rides, I would ask her questions about Romania: the history, the culture, the people. Anything I asked, she would give me a very thoughtful and detailed answer. I learned about her life, which was an inspiration in itself. I had studied abroad for a time in Ireland and it turns out she had lived in Ireland for 10 years! She took the scenic route and we showed each other different music. I truly enjoyed myself all day long and was sad to see the day come to an end. I don't think I've ever had a better tour.

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.
