5.00Our day trip from Bucharest to Transylvania was very memorable and enjoyable. Our tour guide Alin was exceptional. He was funny and kept us entertained thoughout our trip. He sent us message few days before the trip with the link to buy tickets to Peleş castle which was very helpful. We left a bit early as suggested by him and we were the first ones in line to see the Peleş castle, which was the highlight of our tour. We also visited Brașov old town and Bran castle. Alin explained us all the history and interesting facts about the places. He ensured we are taking care of very well in all aspects. We really enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend Alin as your guide. We are very grateful for his kindness and care and hope to visit more places with him in future.
An Unforgettable Day!

5.00Our tour guide, Octavian, was an extraordinary font of knowledge on the history and struggles of enchanting Romania. Tavi was attentive to our needs. He guided us through Transylvania with facts about the region and injected wit and humor into our thirteen-hour day! We learned so much. It was a truly special experience because of Tavi.

5.00This is a very long day, but Andrei made it so much fun and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He was a great guide and we learned so much. We were a bit sad to see him go when he dropped us off at the end of the day.
Excellent Private. Tour of Dracula Castle with Octavian

5.00We had an outstanding private tour to visit Dracula Castle with our tour guide Octavian. Of course we stopped at Peles Castle first and Octavian was able to help us move closely to the entrance without having to be in line with many tour groups. He also knew many people working at the castles and was able to provide us with expert guidance and explanation throughout our tours. We had lunch in Boston enough at a fantastic Romanian restaurant, then toured old town and the Black church. The car was new and comfortable, and Octavian was excellent in his description of the history of Romania. We give this tour five stars and is highly recommended for those who want a private, personal tour.

5.00Our guide Dragos was excellent. Very informative about Romania and the sight we saw. He was very accommodating to our needs. The Peles palace wasn’t open so he adjusted our itinerary.
