5.00She explained everything slowly and in simple words, which was very helpful since we don’t understand English well. She also kindly guided us to free restrooms, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this tour company!

4.00It was ok, guide barely spoke english, he did his best though. Basically, he dropped me off at the attractions and let me explore on my own.

5.00I really enjoyed my day visiting sights, east of Brasov. My guide, Bogdan, met me at my hotel and drove me to several sights to make for a pleasant day, despite the afternoon thunderstorm. He tailored the tour to where my interests lie and was patient as we navigated tricky cobblestone streets and narrow passage ways in a castle. I had a fantastic travel experience. I liked that did the tour with a solo traveler.
beautiful old town views

5.00Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was the only customer on this tour. Which made it a lot easier to manage the time visiting all the lovely citadels and city - from Rupea, the UNESCO town of Viscri to Sighisoara, a day well spent. I would highly recommend the trip to anyone wanting to have a broad sense of these cities, the history and the people living here.
Awesome day

5.00The country side, fortified churches, storks, villages and friendly people make Transylvania an amazing place to visit. It's like stepping back in time. Be ready for a lot of driving on this trip as well as a lot of walking. Our guide, DB, was awesome also. He was knowledgeable about every area. He was flexible when we showed interest in the storks or any buildings by pulling over at a good place to take pictures. He also came prepared with raincoats and umbrellas! Thanks for the journey!
Varied and interesting tour

5.00Florin was an informative and interesting companion on this tour - he gave us options to choose from and delivered a varied day trip which included an Orthodox cave church & pilgrimage site , along with some insights into local industry and history with visits to carpet makers and millers, all with the Carta abbey & Sibiu walking tour thrown in! A long but rewarding day to cover this area of Transylvania and highly recommended .
