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.

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!

We recently spent three days / two nights on a privately guided tour of Transylvania. Bucharest is a lovely city, but there's a great deal more to see in Romania, and we were delighted with the Transylvania excursion organized by Authentic Romania Travel. Our guide and driver, Emanuel Balaban, is extraordinarily well informed. In addition to the scheduled points-of-interest on the tour, he added some stops that were oriented towards some of our interests, but was able to organize everything in a way that did not disrupt the timing of the original schedule. The pick-up at our hotel and drop-off at the airport made for very easy travel, and the background information added by Emanuel made for a very informative trip. We are planning on returning to Bucharest for the Enescu Festival, with the add-on of a trip to Moldavia, and we would happily book Authentic Romania Travel and Emanuel again.

We had a great offroad experience with Carpathian Escapes. Our host Istvan was an amazing driver and guide, giving us all the details of the places we visited. The area is quite amazing (the hills, the views, the people). It was really worth traveling from Bucharest to try this experience.

Together with my wife, I operate small group tours for Australian clients under the Tripwired Tours label. After a comprehensive reconnaissance tour of Romania organized by Diana Condrea of Uncover Romania in 2019, we had a tour group booked for spring 2020 but owing to border closures we had to cancel. Diana has been an absolute jewel throughout this tough time, keeping in touch, keeping us up to date and best of all she has managed to return 100% of the deposit we paid through her to various hotels in Romania. This is a stellar performance, and the kind of measure that restores confidence among travelers in this time of uncertainty. As soon as we are able to take a group to Romania we'll be back there, it's a part of Europe unlike any other, and of course we'll be organizing our tour through Diana.

Excellent from the start. Picked up from the hotel by our guide Ivan. He was very knowledgeable about local history, we passed the bran castle which we visited the previous day, Ivan had lots of interesting information as we traveled into the mountain. We set off on the horse's up the mountain for a couple of hours, really nice scenery. Some parts quite steep, but the horses coped no problem. Arrived at a bit overlooking other mountains that still had snow on. Really good crowd. The local horse guide then made a fire and made a local lunch, lots to eat and very tasty. After eating and horses rested on to the return trip. Went back a different way, varied trails across fields, thru wooded areas, down steep paths. The local guide made it an interesting ride. Ivan was very good at translating and the whole day was very enjoyable. Ivan took lots of photos which he sent to us the next day. A 5* service, would recommend and use Dans tours and Ivan again

My wife and I immensely enjoyed the BrasovTours food tour of Brasov. We ate at 3 restaurants. They were all excellent. Our favorite was the first stop on the tour, Sub Tampa. They add very creative modern touches to the already great traditional Romanian food. I recommend going with a big appetite. There was almost too much food. Jeremy, the guide, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The walks between restaurants were through some of the most interesting historical sections of the old city, and allowed us to renew our appetites. Jeremy's narrative was helpful and informative. A strong recommendation!
