I had my first hiking experience with their help. We have visited a place near Brașov that took my breath away. They made me feel like I was part of the team and made everything feel super easy. I was a bit scared about snakes and bears but I knew I'll be protected in case of anything. This is the first day after the experience but I already look for the following one. They are professional, super friendly and, most of all, interesting people from which you feel that you can learn a lot of things. I truly appreciate and recommend them.

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.

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.

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!

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

Whilst more costly than applying direct to the venue we were able to visit on the same day (rather than with 24 hours plus notice). Excellent tour. An astounding and thought provoking attraction.
