Transylvania here we come!

Dale_H, Jun 2026

Roxanna is a very good guide. Her knowledge of Romania's history, current events and politics made for great discussion. This overnight trip turned out to be a real adventure. Our guide's knowledge of the area and how to efficiently travel the Romania backroads was the highlight. We arrived back at our Bucharest hotel feeling like we had seen parts of Romania that the typical visitor does not see. Looking forward to a return trip.

Transylvania

Claudiu was our guide . He was very good . Well informed, careful and very friendly yet professional. We loved our time in Transylvania with Claudiu as our Guide .

Great trip

Mercia_R, May 2026

Communication was great. My driver/ guide was on time. He was flexible and easy to travel with. We saw all the main highlights and it was great!

Wonderful experience in Romania with George

Cheryl_F, Dec 2025

Our driver and tour guide, George, was wonderful. We are two ladies traveling. George picked us up on time at our hotel. We had a schedule of sites, but George was very accommodating by squeezing in other places we were also interested in seeing, like the bear sanctuary. George was most professional the entire two days. We wish we had more time to explore beautiful Romania. I highly recommend this service.

Great tour and easy to work with

Jeffrey_H, Nov 2025

We enjoyed the excursion very much. Laura was a great guide and taught us so much about Romania and the region. The company was incredible and allowed us to customize portions of the trip as well.

Fantastic tour.

bensoned2000, Jul 2025

Laura was amazing. Her English and knowledge of the various site was exceptional. We were able to travel at our own pace while spending time where we truly were excited about. Book with Laura and your amazing adventure will begin the moment you meet her.

Wonderful flexible guide

Robert_H, May 2025

From the first moment we met, Sebastian was great. The Peles Castle we were scheduled to visit that day was closed - so Sebastian rerouted our 2-day tour and immediately secured tickets for the following day. His explanations of Romania, its history and the places we visited were also enlightening. I can’t imagine a better tour.

Fabulous tour of Transylvania. Two days required!

Laurie_J, Apr 2025

Being out in Transylvania with a private guide gives a unique and wonderful perception of Romania that you don't get staying in Bucharest.

Lucky to have Catalin as...

tamyaliaw, Apr 2024

Lucky to have Catalin as our guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history, culture, architecture, and cuisine of all the places we visit. He is punctual, responsible, fun, and takes great care of his guests. He has even an excellent selection of music for the road. We really appreciate that he went beyond his duty and show us more than what we signed up for and presented the absolute best of what Romania has to offer.

Amazing way to experience Romania

Carmelita_B, Sep 2023

Two wonderful days and saw so much. On time, spotless vehicle and our great guide, Mircea took care of every detail. So informative and accommodating.

The most incredible and memorable trip we’ve taken.

Pemiel_P, Oct 2022

Every city was amazing and beautiful and Alin just made our experience easy and memorable. He went out of his way to take us to a synagogue in Sighisoara and visit the Jewish cemetery there. He also accommodated all of our needs like taking us to a supermarket to buy certain items that we needed in order to continue our trip in Romania.

A fabulous trip to Transilvania

CHARLES_D, Sep 2022

I was very sap with my 2-day trip to Transilvania. Sebastian was my private driver and guide for the enrire trip. Everything went to perfection and as planned. Every stop we made was like going back in history. I learned a lot about the Romanian history from Sebastian who was very pleasant and a very responsible driver. The most memorable sight was Peleș Castle, but I must admit that I enjoyed every minute during the trip. We spent more than 2 hours in Brașov, which was truly a magical medieval town. After spending 1 night in Sighișoara, we had a walking tour in this medieval town that has remained unchanged during several centuries. Then we stopped at Sibiu, where we enjoyed a walking tour during more than 2 hours, which was unbelievable beautiful. I highly recommend this 2-day private trip to Transilvania to every visitor to Romania. Evey minute will remain in my memory forever.
