Julienne_L, Apr 2026

Great tour

Was a great experience. Our guide, Alin was very knowledgeable. Gave us so much information in regards to all the places we were visiting. Picked us up from our air bnb, which was a bonus. Only 2 other people were on the tour with us, which helped. Bear park was amazing. Bram castle was quite crowded as aisles are small but glad we have done it. Would highly recommend. If I could have, I would have given Alin 6 stars!

Very nice tour

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He also drove safely and was timely at every site. He swiftly took care of a car power issue and brought us back to the city on time. The only recommendation I have is to offer water and WiFi as indicated in the add or else remove it.

Excellent tour with the best guide Traian

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with our tour guide Traian, who truly made the entire trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, setting the perfect tone for the journey ahead. What impressed me most was his deep understanding of the history, culture, and hidden gems of each location we visited. He told engaging stories that brought every place to life. It felt like we weren’t just sightseeing, but really connecting with the destination on a deeper level. His organization and professionalism were also exceptional. Everything ran smoothly and on time, yet never. On top of that, their enthusiasm was contagious. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it was recommending local food spots, sharing insider tips, or adding a bit of humor along the way, they consistently went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching travel experience. He turned a great trip into an extraordinary one.

Our guide, Charlie, was...

Our guide, Charlie, was super personable and informative! We had a wonderful time exploring Peles, Bran, and Rasnov. The timing was great with plenty of time to stop for a coffee and breakfast. We also had time for a wonderful lunch with a view of Bran castle. We did a lot of walking so definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring some cash for vendors and shops. So glad we did this tour-a highlight of our trip!

Excellent trip with Valentin

We had an excellent trip with Valentin. He took us all the planned locations, gave us enough time to explore on our own as well as shared a lot of information on Romania. The best part was the conversations wr had on the long drives since Valentin is well aware of the world in general i.e. geo politics, world history, current affairs, culture, etc., which made our trip so much better. Highly recommended.

An Absolutely Perfect Day Trip Experience

I just returned from an amazing Small-Group Day Trip in Romanian Authentic Mountain Villages from Brasov with an exceptional guide named Bogdan. He was not only highly professional and knowledgeable about Romanian history, but also an incredibly warm and pleasant person. What impressed me most was his extensive knowledge of the country's history and his deep familiarity with all the sites we visited. He brought every village and story to life, turning each stop into a fascinating experience. Bogdan's flexibility and patience were outstanding - he adapted perfectly to my pace, and I never felt rushed or pressured. The transitions between villages were comfortable and tailored to my needs, and he always prioritized my comfort above all else. Beyond his professionalism, his warm and friendly personality made the tour feel personal and special. I discovered that he's also a mountain climbing guide, rock climbing instructor, and paragliding guide - which made our conversations even more interesting as he shared captivating stories from his various adventures. Traveling with Bogdan was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering this day trip. He truly made this experience unforgettable!

Good intro to Romanian landscape

It’s a very short drive from Brasov, cute walk but definitely you can explore further in the park! May be strenuous for those unfit, but this of course applies to most physical activities, especially ones necessitating the range of motion for ladder climbing. No knee injuries :)
