Gabriel was fantastic!

RACHEL_K, Jan 2026

Experience beautiful Romanian culture with a fabulous and extremely knowledgeable guide. The tour was well worth the cost! Our guide Gabriel was warm and welcoming with a good sense of humor and a huge amount of knowledge. He always had fascinating information and answers to all our questions.

Worth the money

KristenL, Nov 2025

This was a wonderful experience! We had to book a private tour because we had our 5 year old with us (and tours required kids to be 7+). There were four of us (me, spouse, kiddo, my mom) and we got picked up in a private van. Cristian was friendly, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. We made extra stops (for lattes as well as a stop to see Nevermore Castle from Wednesday). One item was unavailable on the tour so Cristian took us to a unesco site instead. He encouraged us to take our time and was very patient. It was totally worth the extra money for this experience. Whatever you decide, don’t skip out on Transylvania!

Amazing Tour

Brett_V, Nov 2025

I booked a solo private tour. My guide Cristian was amazing. Provided plenty of information as well as being a great driver. The castles are great but Braşov is a really amazing city too. And book this for an October trip because the scenery driving through the mountains with the colour changes of the leaves is absolutely spectacular.

Great 2 day pryvate tour of Transylvania

Andre_M, Sep 2024

We had a great tour and with the best tour guide Viator has . His name is Claudiu. Very good at what he is doing. Patient and very kind. In the two days we spend with him he showed us the real Romania with its beauty and its people. We highly recommend this 2 day private tour of Transylvania and ask for Claudiu. Its a must. We will be back

Best way to tour Transylvania

Arthur_L, Jul 2018

I had no idea we would have such an outstanding experience. While others gaped at cluttered walls, we were brought into the intrigue and excitement. We were taken to out of the way restaurants and had a wonderful time.

it was amazing experience for me and...

cheol hyun c, Nov 2017

it was amazing experience for me and my wife. Especially tour guide Diana was very kind and seemed to be ready to respond to customer's request whatever possible. Tour course was also memorable and fortunately weather was nice. i will recommend this tour experiences to other friends

The tour couldn't have been any...

Lynn W, Aug 2017

The tour couldn't have been any better. Diana was our tour guide and Christian was our driver and they were both fantastic. Diana's knowledge of the area and history helped us understand what has gone on in that region over the centuries. Christian did a terrific job driving and made us feel like we were in safe hands the entire trip. He also had a great sense of humor that added to the fun of the trip. The same could be said for Diana and together they made the perfect team. The sights we saw were awesome. The hotel was great and in a perfect location, right by the main square where everything was happening. The restaurants they took us to were also great and we were able to enjoy some of the local food and beverages. This is definitely a 5-star tour. Thanks Diana and Christian.
