5.00After a run of fairly miserable so-called castle tours, it was a great relief to meet Sebastian at Bran Castle. He was warm, welcoming and entertaining from the beginning.

1.00THEY CANCELLED THE RESERVATION I HAD FOR OVER A MONTH FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE DATE WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION. YOU CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY BLAME THE TOUR OPERATOR. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRIPADVISOR, VIATOR OR FLIP FLOP TOURS' FAULT. IT SEEMS LIKE A SCAM EXCURSION TO ME, NOT SERIOUS. IN SHORT, A SHAMEFUL SERVICE. I AM CLEAR THAT I WILL NOT BOOK ANYTHING WITH THEM AGAIN.

5.00We had a fantastic visit to Bran Castle and Râșnov Fortress! The scenery was absolutely stunning, making the trip even more memorable. Our host was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, which added so much depth and context to the experience. A truly wonderful trip that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

5.00Florin was an excellent tour guide. It genuinely felt like we were with a well informed friend. He adjusted the tour to accommodate disability as well. We set off from Brasov at 8.30 and would definitely recommend the same as Bran Castle was near empty when we arrived, getting much busier by the time we left. Florín gave personal recommendations and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of all of Transylvania. A great morning!
Beautiful tour with wonderful guide!

5.00Florin was an incredible tour guide who showed us the beauty of Brasov and surrounding Carpathian area with its amazing historic sites. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and is completely fluent in multiple languages. The drive was very smooth and Florin helps you skip wait times at the castles. Great value for the price, we would highly recommend him as your guide for the area, do not even hesitate to book with him!

5.00If you wanna tour around Transylvania and visit the ancient castles flip flop tours is the tour you need to book. Florin (our guide) was super informative about the castles the surrounding areas and the history of Transylvania. He was also very friendly and for sure he kept our interest all the time. Totally worth the money and time we spent.
Amazing tour

5.00The experience was great. The guide Florin has shown great passion and professionalism during the excursion. We were a group of 5 people and from the first minute he started to give us extensive details about the culture in Romania and has answer to all the questions you ask him. Undoubtedly, on our trip to Romania the visits to these two places have been the best thing of the trip. Fully recommended.

5.00We have done a tour of Bran Castle and Sighișoara and we leave delighted with the excursion and especially with the guide Florin. Because of an accident on the road we were at night to see Sighișoara, and we really appreciated it because we could see the city with a special charm. During the tour Florin stopped us at all the points of interest and explained the most interesting of each and the Romanian culture. We were also eating a deer stew and several more typical dishes in a restaurant that for my opinion has been the best of our visit to Romania. Highly recommended, any excursion because they sure are worth it!
