    Peles Castle is amazing! Truly the most beautiful castle we have ever seen with such beautiful wood work, artwork and furnishings- all original on the standard tour. Bran Castle pales in comparison, but it’s structure and history are interesting to explore. The mountains of Transylvania and the villages of Romania are beautiful to see. I only wishes we had more time there! Our tour guide, Adrian, did a great job. His English is fluent and easy to understand, he is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the sites and, best of all, very open to questions about his experience of life in Romania and Bucharest. We learned a lot and had a really fun day.

    Horrible experience. Guide never showed up. We called him when he was 20 minutes late. He claimed. he was on his way, not to worry, would be there any minute. We waited another hour. He never showed up, and never answered the phone again. Ruined our whole day. Unbelievably unprofessional.

    Very disappointing day! Claudio was not a guide. He was a driver. He told me virtually nothing at the three places we visited. He dropped me off. I was on my own. His driving was terrifying. At one point going over 150km/96 mph on single lane roads weaving in and out of traffic. He spent much of the drive talking on the phone on social calls. When he did talk to me it was to brag about what a great driver he is and who he has driven. The car was not clean. I was the only person on the trip. Maybe if there had been others he might have been better and more engaged. He says he has been doing this for 23 years. He was truly unengaged

    Claudiu was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable about Romanian history and the breathtaking castles we visited. He gave us tips that many guides would not, and helped create an amazing day for all of us. It was definitely our highlight of our trip to Romania. Thank you Claudiu!

    Claudio is a very social and helpful man. We had very good time at the trip and he informed with various information about the country.The time passed very fast and it is a very good option to fulfil your day with experiences in Romania. Our favorite part was at the city of Brasov but we did not have lot of time to stay longer.

    A very beautiful country with wonderful nature. The best part was Brasov And Sinaia. With its wonderful mountens specialy the cable car.

    My husband met our driver, Christian, at exactly the time arranged. The excursion was a delight and Christian made it even better. He gave us plenty of historical information during our trip about everything (I guess his MA in History was really worth it) and he was very helpful, friendly and understanding. What is more, he was also very discreet and it was like he knew when we were tired and when we could have a discussion. The two castles were great but the city of Brasov stole the show for my husband and I. The little square was colorful and the food, despite being in a tourist area, was delicious. I would certainly recommend Christian and his team for this day outside Bucharest and into Transylvania. After all, trips are there to create memories, and Petros and I certainly created some memorable ones. And we certainly owe a part of these new memories to Christian. Thank you!

    Peles Castle was the best by far. Dracula’s Castle is cramped with huge crowds. Cristian was a great tour guide. Did drive a bit too fast.

  • 20-Mar-2023

    Amazing adventure. Priceless views. Great way to see the sites. Our tour guide, Cristian was an amazing host. He provided great recommendations, showed us all the great views and photo opportunities, and pointed out the best local cuisine. He consistently looked out for our safety and provided us helpful tips along the way. Safe driver, and a genuine pleasure to be with for the day. I would highly recommend this company to explore all Transylvania has to offer in one day.
