    We had a great day with Octavian. He was polite, friendly and had interesting facts about Romania and its history. He had good tips for us along the way and nothing was any trouble. Peles Castle is beautiful inside, so many different styles. Bran Castle is the classic and Brasov was very picturesque. Thank you Octavian for a wonderful tour.

    We had a wonderful trip with Octavian as our guide. We felt in such safe hands. He got us safely to our destination- incredible driving skills as he had to navigate through ice and snow. Totally worth it though as the scenery was out of this world amazing. Octavian was very knowledgeable on the history of the castle and answered all of our questions. I cannot rate this tour company highly enough! Five stars!

    This trip was excellent. Our driver/guide, Octavian, was very knowledgeable and clear. The timing was spot on, allowing us enough time at each stop without either feeling rushed or hanging around. Highly recommended

    We had a great day out with Octavian. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and has an obvious passion for the history of Romania. He looked after us all day, even through some absolutely terrible traffic due to crashes on the route. The car was comfortable and Octavian provided water bottles throughout. Seles Palace was very nice, and Octavian took us around the grounds as the interior was closed. Bran Castle was great to look around and Bran itself was a busy tourist village.

    Our driver and guide, Octavian, was absolutely fantastic! We had a great day discovering Peles Castle and Bran's "Dracula's" Castle. What is noteworthy is Octavian's vast historical knowledge of Romania. All our questions were answered, and we really enjoyed our discussions with him. The enhanced "skip the line" tickets are recommended for Bran's castle, as it was very crowded. It eliminates the wait time and includes visiting the torture chamber and an elevator ride down to the ground level. Highly recommend booking with Octavian!

    We had a really fun and experiential day of travel, in my opinion the most fun day of the trip. Our guide Octavian wanted us to have the best experience, he is very professional and knows how to explain well about the history of the city and the places we visited. Our trip included a visit to Peles Castle, Bran Castle and Barshov and in addition he even tried to take us especially to the cable car for the full experience (which unfortunately we could not reach due to the road conditions) It was very fun to travel with him and if I return to Bucharest I will definitely do this trip again

  • Great trip out side of Bucharest

    I had an excellent trip to Romania. We had a private tour just my girlfriend, the guide and me. It cost 200 euro. We start at 8 am and came back at 20:00. The tour was amazing, especially in Brasov and Sinaia – truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide was very kind, professional, and pleasant to be around. He had wide knowledge and was always happy to suggest different options and ideas, but at the same time he didn’t talk too much, which made the trip very comfortable. Everything was well organized and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Romania. The atmosphere throughout the trip was relaxed and fun, and everything felt well planned from start to finish. We had enough time to explore, enjoy the scenery, and really experience each place. The balance between guided explanations and free time was perfect, making the trip both informative and enjoyable.

    We had an amazing full-day trip from Bucharest to Brașov, Sinaia, and Bran with our wonderful driver and guide, Octavian. From the moment he picked us up, he was incredibly friendly, patient, and warm. His service was truly outstanding ,professional yet personal, and always with a smile. Octavian is exceptionally knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about every site we visited, from history and culture to local stories and hidden gems. He explained everything clearly and engagingly, and you could really feel how passionate he is about his work. He was also extremely flexible and easygoing, happily adjusting the schedule to match anything we wanted. Whether it was taking extra photos, stopping for a snack, or spending more time in a place we loved , he went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re planning a trip in Romania, we highly recommend requesting Octavian. He made our day unforgettable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
