Jorge_B, Jun 2026

Amazing tour to visit the beautiful castles of Valaquia and Transylvania.

Marion and the other guy were superb, very knowledgeable, friendly, polite, pleasing, and very accommodating. All the sites were spectacular, the weather was perfect. My wife and I had a wonderful day. I could not have done if if I had rented a car.Mario, like he promised me, took care of all the entrance tickets, and in the end I paid him. It was very smooth. Mario is quite the perfect tour guide. The other gentleman was also very polite and accommodating. The tour was also very affordable. The van was very comfortable and Mario planed every detail perfectly. He was also very punctual.

Excellent Walking Tour of Brașov!

We had the pleasure of exploring Brașov with Radu, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. From the very beginning, it was obvious that he truly loves his city and enjoys sharing its history and stories with visitors. We started in the beautiful Old Town and then ventured beyond the main tourist areas to learn how Brașov has grown and changed over the years. Radu was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and always happy to answer our many questions. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had a real understanding of the city instead of just seeing the sights. We absolutely fell in love with Brașov, and having Radu as our guide made the experience even more special. In fact, it left us wanting to come back and spend even more time here. If you're visiting Brașov, don't miss the chance to explore it (hopefully with Radu). Highly recommended!

Wonderful trip and guide

Great trip and Alin was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He picked us up from our apartment and was very communicative, messaging us with collection times and responding to queries promptly. Make sure there's availability for the bear sanctuary before you book the trip and check with Alin which time to book so he can coordinate pick up. You have to book the bear sanctuary online in advance. You can get tickets for the castle when you arrive. Well worth a visit.

Take me back!

Even before the tour began this company was amazingly helpful. We have found some tours to be too rushed but this not only introduced you some of the great sites of the world but also allowed breaks to really enjoy and take in what you were seeing. What can I say about Traian? He was amazing making sure all our experiences were perfect. He was the master tour guide!

Do it!

This was awesome! About a 45 minute drive to the spot where you get to sit in a little hut with one way windows and sit in beautiful nature and wait and watch for bears. We were lucky and saw about 5 that day. The guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much enthusiasm and love for these beautiful animals!

A fantastic experience with a brilliant tour guide!

To anyone not sure whether they should spend the extra money on a private tour, I would say absolutely yes! Dinu, our guide was absolutely fantastic. We arrived to Brasov by train from Budapest and had to leave again for a very specific train to continue to Bucharest that night. He monitored our train's progress and was there to greet us at the station as we arrived and he made sure that we were back in time for our evening train too. At every step, he was happy to customise our tour to our liking including taking us to a couple of food spots to try out some traditional dishes. The tour has quite a bit of driving, but there was never an awkward moment between him telling us about the history of Romania and the castles, answering our questions and just sharing stories from our lives. He offered to take lots of pictures of us and patiently waited (and joined!) when we wanted to say hi to the local cats 😅 Dinu made sure that our tour was a memory that will last forever and we wish him all the best.

Efficient and enjoyable transylvania highlands tour

The tour was a great way to get a well-rounded overview of Transylvania’s top attractions in a single day. The organizer went above and beyond by offering hotel pickup instead of the standard meeting point, which was a very nice and convenient touch. Transportation was comfortable, with a well-maintained Ford Transit that made the journey pleasant. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and efficiently organized, allowing us to see a lot without feeling rushed. We also appreciated the assistance with securing tickets for the attractions, which made the experience smooth and hassle-free. The combination of the bear sanctuary, Râșnov Fortress, and Bran Castle provided a perfect mix of nature and history. Everything ran on time and felt professionally managed throughout the day. The only improvement I would suggest is allowing a bit more free time at Bran Castle to explore at a more relaxed pace.

Amazing Tour!

Had an absolutely amazing day with Tiberiu. He picked us up close to our accommodation and brought us to the amazing Peles Castle and gave us a tour inside. Then we headed to Bran Castle and did an independent exploration as external guides are not allowed within the castle to give tours. We had prebooked the entry tickets with the info they had provided so felt like a very smooth day. Lucky that it was fairly quiet around with Easter being on so not too crowded but really enjoyed the entire day, all the information provided and great chats!

Trip to Bran Castle with time for photography

Bianca is an excellent guide. She was on time, very polite and engaging. I was the only person in the tour and I am a photographer… So, she was able to take time to help me get some great photos and take extra time when needed. Extremely knowledgeable and we had great conversation about the historical past and current events. For me this was about immersive as a tour gets. Of course the locations were very beautiful. I would definitely hire this company again and ask for Bianca as my guide. Thank you

Ask for Charlie!

What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly recommend this tour! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charlie! We will always remember our day trip with you!
