Narcis was *the most* wonderful tour guide!! Not only was he SO knowledgeable about ALL of the places we visited, he also has a passion and true love for the country and for the integrity of the stories and information that he shared with us. We all felt on our tour, that he was really caring for our adventure, to make absolutely sure that we were having a good experience. Never in a rush, and always answered all of our questions. Narcis is better than Google, when it comes to Romanian history tours!

Would highly recommend this trip! Long day but so interesting. Transport was comfortable and air conditioned. Excellent driver in Petre and superb guide in Narcis who was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved the castles and short stay in Brasov. So nice not to be asked for a tip at the end of the day- needless to say I did leave one. Thank you Aurora for your excellent communication prior to the day.
