Visiting Transylvania castles - What to say that hasn't already been said? The tour was a lesson of history , told in an entertaining way. Adrian demonstrated, through all, his intense passion for his country not omitting relevant details. The itinerary was fulfilled as planned and our guide was reliable and flexible. Without any doubt I would recommend this guided visit.

Fabulous day! - We had the best day with Adrian, he was funny, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Every stop from the castles to the fort was perfect. The food at the restaurant Adrian took us to was excellent. The highlight for me was that Arian went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic day. Knowing how much I wanted to see a bear he kept a look out and we got lucky, able to observe from a safe distance this really made my day. He is also the best photographer, taking the time to get me the perfect shots. You honestly won’t be disappointed with this trip

Tours Guided with Passion, Integrity and Respect - Adrian is a guide with passion for what he does, with integrity in how he does his job, and with genuine respect for his clients. We both so enjoyed spending time with him and have so much gratitude for how he shared a corner of his beautiful country with us. He was also very patient in working with us and with our questions and preferences. That said, we also felt totally comfortable in relying on his knowledge, judgment and choices.

A fabulous day and wonderful tour guide - Adrian was an amazing tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and is quick to pick up on what the customer might want. We had an amazing vehicle, very comfortable. He has a wealth of information available on demand. Anything we stopped to look at, he had a story. The tour of Peles castle was amazing. Make sure you do the second level tour and not just the main floor. We also had an AMAZING lunch at his fathers restaurant! Adrian knows how to treat you right. A definite MUST do tour. Thank you Adrian!

Private tour with Adrian to Peles, Bran and Rasnov Fortress - Adrian is a world class guide. His knowledge of history and the specific places we toured was amazing. It is obvious he loves his country an is proud to share his knowledge.
Peles Palace (castle) is not to be missed and we left with a great history lesson on Carol I, his family, how he became Prince then King and ultimately the most famous non Romanian Romanian.
The value of the private tour is immediately understood when you are one or two couples on the tour versus the other tours we saw with 40 or 50 people trying to hear their guide.
The Rasnov fortress is very impressive in spite of the inside being closed for renovation. Finally, Bran Castle was great to see and the area around the castle abounds with natural beauty.
You will not be disappointed to book this tour.
