Our Day Trip with Andra...

Desmond_R, Jun 2025

Our Day Trip with Andra was outstanding and exceeded our expectations! It was full of interesting descriptions of places we were visiting and of historic information. We spent over 12 hours visiting spectacular places and appreciating the beautiful Romanian mountains. We loved it!

Great day with Andrei

Joe_N, Feb 2025

It’s a long day but really worth it the castles are a fantastic spectacle and the lunch stop in Brasov is great . Andrei our host was exceptional with both a rich knowledge of history and a great personality to match it , he made the day extra special .

Perfect all day tour

SJB, May 2024

I had a wonderful full day tour with Andrei. I chose a private tour so I could go at my own pace and have some flexibility. Andrei was the perfect guide. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, interested and interesting. He pointed out many facts and details I would certainly have missed had I been on my own. I was able to see everything and not feel rushed or like simply a number on a tour. There was time for coffee and pastry at one stop and lunch and a stroll through Brasov later. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and I reccomend if you are able, to do a private or semi-private tour. Andrei could not have been any better!

Incredible is the best word to describe.

This is an amazing tour and Andrei is the best guide. It is clear that he loves to share his knowledge. We appreciated Andrei’s flexibility and being sure that the tour was meeting our expectations. As teachers we loved hearing the historic significance and stories that he shared. The beauty of Peleş and its surroundings was incredible. All of the tour went beyond our expectations!! We highly recommended this tour and having Andrei as your guide.
