It was nice to be driven to the castles along with a private tour from the guide. He was very informative and kept the conversation flowing with a lot of information about the areas we were visiting. I would recommend it - even in a rainy day, it was still a great experience.

A must do tour

Easy to book, great communication and started on time. Our guide really knew his stuff and was interesting. A great day was had by us all. The purpose of our trip was to visit the castles especially Bran Castle. The tour didn't disappoint and was the easiest way to see all the sights.

One day trip Bear Sanctuary, Dracula Castle, Rasnov Fortress from Brasov

Micha_K, Apr 2026

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.

The castles tour: highly recommended

We had a great tour visiting Bran Castle, Peleș Castle, and Cantacuzino. Peleș was absolutely stunning, and our guide, Marius, made the whole experience even better with his clear explanations and historical insights. We also enjoyed a lot the visit to Bran Castle. The day was full, and so interesting. We didn’t go inside Cantacuzino Castle. We highly recommend this tour.

Great tour!

First of all, Florin was a fantastic guide with fluency in english and spanish with interesting facts about the area and the castles! the tour itself was quite great, the only thing I wished for was a little more time in both castles, to try to see it in not such a hush and to see the little souvenir shops around them. aside from that, 100% recommended

Day Hike in Carpathian Mountains for all levels in five areas

Paivikki_A, Oct 2025

Great hiking!

Our original plan was to go to Fagaras mountains but due to the unexpected snowfall the road was closed and we needed to change our plans. Piatra Craiului offered a nice option to hike on a different type of mountain. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, the fog hided the mountains and we couldn’t do the whole trail. The lunch break at the hut was anyway really nice. And on the way back we hiked through a very impressive gorge! In spite of the weather circumstances our guide Ovidiu did his best and the hiking was a great experience! He was a reliable, nice and professional guide! Also the service from the tour operator in general was friendly and flexible, and they did their best to serve the customer.

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!
