What are people saying about Romania

Deanna_L, Jun 2026

What is not to love on this journey?

Full day of jaw dropping beauty, in comfort, and with the most knowledgeable guide. The rest of our stay in Romania we were constantly saying, “Sebastian told us” or “Remember how Sebastian explained” so we not only got a nature expedition, but also a travel experience, a history guided tour, a photo excursion unparalleled. Yes this trip is a long day, but the van is so comfortable, and our driver was so safe and careful that it was also an easy day. June is an amazing time to go, we saw 12 different bears, and our guide is so experienced, he knew when we saw the same bear on the return trip, even could tell us age and sex of the bears. I loved how he respected the bears, while we admired them from the safety from the safety from the van, we were only feet away.

Curly Tour - Day trip from Cluj :)

Ozan_N, Jun 2026

A must for anyone visiting Cluj!!

Can’t say enough about our day with Tudor.. Filled with knowledge and good vibes from beginning to end. If I were Romanian I would be proud that I have good people such as him as an ambassador for my country and Cluj. I was so glad to have his guidance as we explored the the mine in Turda as well as a breathtaking hike through the Gorge, and the visit to the nearby village of Rimetea and the Monastery of Archangel Michael was a sweet bonus. Highly highly recommend a day with him as it will paint Romania and Transylvania in a completely different view for anyone who attends. Many thanks

1 day CARPATHIAN PEAKS & CHALETS hike

Jane, May 2026

Fantastic guide and walk

Andrei picked me up from my hotel and was an excellent guide for the hike to the chalet at the top of Masiv Postavarul. During the walk, he was very polite and giving me interesting information about the animals in the forest. The walk itself was accessible for me (29 yr old healthy female who exercises regularly) and not too steep. It was 10.5km total approximately. The view from the chalet was a bit cloudy but it cleared soon and you get a great view over the mountain range. I would Strongly recommend Andrei to take you on your Carpathian Mountains hike from Braşov.

Constanta and the Black Sea Private Tour from Bucharest

Alan_Q, Apr 2026

Great Experience.

After a discussion with our guide Beatrice we had already done Constanta and the Black Sea on the cruise ship we had just left and being extremely creative Beatrice decided we should see some of the mountains. She took us to Snow Island and to Peles Castle (?) which we absolutely loved. We had a delicious meal in a local restaurant which she highly recommended and saw the monastery’s which we found very interesting. We found that Beatrice’s knowledge of the area and Bucharest was extensive, she was delightful company and we had a thoroughly enjoyable day in her company. I could not recommend her more highly.

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!

Salt Mine Tour from Bucharest with Entrance Ticket

Daniela_A, Dec 2025

Worth the Experience

Group of 19 people. Driver was already waiting for the people in front of the Hotel. Two hour drive to the Salt Mines, with 30 minutes stop in a gas station with a Luca Store. The driver, that identified himself as driver not guide, was really helpful and spoke english. We left on time. Arrived at 10:30. The mine is worth it. We left at 13:00. Around the mine and inside there are places to eat. We arrived to the city around 15h, since the group chose not to stop in the gas station.

Last month my friend and I took a private tour, and we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share more about Romania as we traveled between sites. The extra information he provided along the way made the journey even more engaging and helped us better appreciate the country’s rich history and culture. The destinations themselves were absolutely beautiful, each offering something unique and memorable. Overall, the tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Sighisoara, Viscri & Rupea Small-Group Tour from Brasov

amybprusaitis, Nov 2025

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!

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

Salt Mine, Lunch at Winery & Dracula Grave, Small-group & Pick-up

David_G, Sep 2025

Salt mine was impressive

I really enjoyed this trip led by Laura and her colleague George. They were knowledgeable and answered my questions. The salt mine, while it is a little bit of a drive, it was definitely worth it. Impressive. I also enjoyed the nice lunch at the winery and the church and visit to Vlad. The Impalers site was a good compliment on the way home. Definitely recommend.
