Zoe_C, Apr 2026

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!

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.

Small-Group Day Trip to North Bulgaria

Rafael_G, Mar 2026

Something different.

Șeban Riga our driver was very funny and awesome....traffic is horrible there and back....sites were amazings...My wife and I enjoyed the town of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria...we skipped the palace tour and walked the whole town, there are a lot of eating options, don't be afraid to try it. Our weather was perfect SUNNY with a little breeze....I would recommend it, if you have the time. Our original date of the tour was canceled, because we were the only ones signed up for it. But they offered a different date, which we were free from other tours, I can undertand why you need at least 4 or more people for this tour. We managed to get back in a reasonable time to Bucharest as we had an early flight the next day. Long day but worth it.

2-Day Medieval Transylvania with Brasov,Sibiu and Sighisoara Tour from Bucharest

2D/1N Transylvania is a must with Alex

Alex, our tour guide, was wonderful. From speaking excellent English, to being very patient, timely & knowledgable about all our questions on Romania. He was easy going & a safe driver. He gave us ample time in each location. We were quite lucky for a # of reasons: we were the only 2 on the tour, we went in December during the Christmas (market) season & the weather was cold (as expected), but great. No rain. And very few lines anywhere for the castles, etc. We would definitely recommend this tour! Thank you, Alex! Our favorite tour in the 3&1/2 wks traveling in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

Lauren_W, Nov 2025

Definitely recommend this tour

We had a great tour with Tudor. He was very knowledgeable, and took us to see things not many big companies would. The salt mine was a great experience and we had enough time to hire a boat. The riverside hike was a challenge at times but well worth the effort for the views at the end. We had a lovely meal in a traditional restaurant where Tudor gave us good recommendations. It was a very active and engaging tour which we thoroughly enjoyed, thank you!

Secrets of the Citadels: Brașov, Viscri, Sighișoara and Sibiu

Jason_P, Nov 2025

Great tour and the guide is willing to customize

This is a great tour if you have limited time in Romania. As I have heard a lot about Sighisoara and Sibiu I felt like I had to see both places and I highly recommend the tour if this is the case. It would be more relaxing only seeing one if you don’t need to see both.

Day Trip to Bulgaria and Veliko Tarnovo from Bucharest

Helen_A, Oct 2025

Fantastic Day Out - exhausting but worth it!

Fabulous trip and a very entertaining guide. I loved being on a minibus rather than a coach. We had a toilet stop at a garage which was a nightmare because you have to buy something to use the toilet and the place was absolutely packed. I could happily have skipped this. The monastery in the rock face was so interesting and the more modern monastery at ground level was beautiful. Please note that the climb up to the original Rock Monastery is steep and the ground is very uneven. Definitely worth going though. Veliko Tarnovo was also beautiful. The scenery was breathtaking. We had an enjoyable walk along the fortress walls and up to the Church and then another steep walk uphill to a gorgeous paved street of shops selling all sorts of tourist treasures and hand made crafts. We couldn’t do the last of our three stops because the road had been closed but, to be honest, we were exhausted by then anyway. I would have preferred to have longer at Veliko Tarnovo and not had to rush.

Top Day

A full day but plenty of stops. Didn’t see bears as it was snowing and they were hiding. But just the snow covered trees and buildings was enough for an Aussie. Lots of memorable and funny moments. Our guide George was an excellent driver and nothing was too much for him. A top day out.

Small Group Tour to Viscri Church Sighisoara Town Rupea Fortress

Penelope_P, Sep 2025

Well worth it!

Our guide Dan was very knowledgeable. The Viscri village and fortification were very intriguing ... saw examples of old crafts and experienced their living conditions years ago. We were able to go in King Charles's house he has bought in the village which has made an impact on the local community. The medieval town of Sighisoara was also an example of how various local guilds defended the town ... again our guide made it very interesting.

One of the few places where you can see happy bears

Great place to see bears! They are a sanctuary helping bears and also educating people on the struggles of captive bears in Romania. On our visit we've seen 25-30 different bears of different ages from little ones to full grown massive ones as well as deer, wolfs, and a fox.

Constanta and the Black Sea Private Tour from Bucharest

Lisa_G, Jun 2025

A Life Long Dream

Since I was a child I have dreamed of seeing the Black Sea! Finally, I was able to dip my toes in the water and no the sea is not black. LOL There were so many beautiful sights to see all around Constanta. Many great spots to grab lunch, too. Photo opportunities everywhere. So refreshing to feel the breeze on your skin as you stroll along the boardwalk and learn all about the important role this city played in times past.
