Vlad and Trans - Tours of Peles Castle and Bran Castle along with the cities of Brasov and Sibiu. Wonderful scenes while riding through Transylvania. Our guide, Alex, was the best. Very knowledgeable of the area and its history. Also I'm a nervous passenger but felt at east with his driving.

Definitely recommendable - We had an amazing 3-day tour with Marius. His detailed explanation made the places we visited more exquisite. We will go back to Japan with an unforgettable memory as a souvenir, thanks to him.
The most favorite place is Peles Castle. This castle is breathtakingly beautiful, so you cannot miss it.

Transylvania was gorgeous and Marius was a terrific driver and guide. - The tour was quite extensive, I only wished we had more time in Sibiu and less time in Brasov. The van was very comfortable and organization of everything was quite good. There ended up being only 3 of us and that made it even nicer. The hotel in Brasov was fine, not wonderful, and the hotel in Sibiu was wonderful. All of the sites and explanations and history from Marius was terrific. I highly recommend this tour.

Reliable-Friendly-On Time-Plenty of good reasons having a guide/driver - Communication on pick up was very clear, I have found most international use WhatsApp so be sure to have that downloaded. From pick up at our hotel, driving through the countryside, sightseeing the castles, checking into hotels with perfect central locations, recommendations on where to eat, stopping when needed, and finally the drop off at our hotel 3 days later, was the highlight of our 2 week trip in Eastern Europe! Honestly, our guide/driver, Ovi, was very professional and friendly. He is filled with knowledge and history of his country. The company provides very clean and safe transportation, which is key when you rely on a skilled driver also. I would definitely use this firm again if given the opportunity. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience Ovi! All four of us enjoyed our trip!

Superb trip with a Superb Host-driver: Alex. This is a "can't miss" trip! - Our 3-day trip from Bucharest to Transylvania & back was the highlight of our European vacation. The tour was easy to book; our host-driver Alex spoke excellent English, his knowledge of each site we visited was amazing, and his genuine desire to provide us with an unforgettable experience was obvious. This was the best 3-days of our "holiday." Thank you, Alex.

Went back to the medieval time -Romania is a hidden jewel in Europe - We booked the tour through viator. Customer service was very nice. Called them twice before I booked the tour. Then I have contacted tour operation multiple times for different reasons and they are very swift to answer.
Our tour guide Marius was wonderful. He took care almost everything. Even after we done for the days trip he said call him if we need anything during night. And the Romania is beautiful. It's kind of the feeling we got that we went back to time.
Hotels are nice and clean. One hotel does not have elevator.But the location of the hotel was marvelous.
This trip is worth for the every penny I spend.
I want to go back in summer again.

Wonderful Romanian Impression - We enjoyed over the 3 days the smooth organizational easyness (the nice car, the permanent adjusting to external changes by Ovi and his Professional handling of all aspects).
Furthermore, Ovi spoke an excellent English, and could answer all questions from all Fields of interest - from historical, to geographical, historical and political). So we learnt quite a
lot on the places and buildings visited and also on the Country of Rumania and its people.
Also, he introduced us to the Rumanian food and beverages. Apart from his Professional capabilities also his pleasant personality made us enjoy every Moment of our Tour to Sinaia, Brasov and lots of
Places in Bukarest.
Thank you and Ovi for a unique and memorable experience in Rumania.
