It was a wonderful tour with an amazing guide who basically talked to us for 14 hours. The towns were facinating and the castle was beautiful. Nice to get into a castle finally. The countryside was stunning. Well worth being tired at the end of the day.

Had a wonderful time. Felt bad for our driver (Andrei) who had to deal with late night fog. Appreciated his willingness to share important knowledge with passion, about the experience.

Myself and my friend who went on this tour can't recommend it highly enough. From the friendly and efficient communication before the tour started and right throughout, everything was excellent. We would like to give a special shout out to our guide Stefan who made an already excellent day out even better. Was extremely friendly and also very knowledgeable about Cluj, it's history and also all places we visited. We even decided to try some traditional dishes on his recommendation, which were very much enjoyed. If you're ever in Cluj, this tour should be at the top of your to do list.
Recommended!

I unfortunately did not go on this tour but ended up going to the Turda Saltmine, Corvin Castle and Alba Iulia tour. I greatly appreciated the tour, especially loved how we could row a boat down in the mine and the Corvin's castle had a magnificent drawbridge.
Most romantic part of our trip

Amazing adventure! His impressive knowledge of romanian history was wonderfully engaging while we travelled in luxury. Both destinations are not to be missed and we also got to take naps and enjoy the spectacular country side views.
