5.00Myself 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!

5.00I 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

5.00Amazing 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.
Don't miss it! Even if you're not a Dracula's fan

5.00The value of this tour really exceeded my expectations. Not only Christian provided us with some great insights about the myth of Dracula and its origins, but he also gave us an incredible amount of informations about Transylvania in general, its history and actually. Out of that, I was in Club for a little week, and he went out of his way to give me some useful tips to fully enjoy my stay. I highly recommend this tour!
Fantastic day
