Fantastic outing! - What an amazing experience. Sebastian, was our contact and guide for the experience. From the moment we booked, Sebastian was in contact with us to go over the itinerary and kept in touch until the time of our tour. We even needed a special accomodation to align with our holiday plans and it was easily planned and managed. There was no hidden fees or gotchas. The morning we left he was already at the hotel and waiting. The vehicle was clean and it great condition with plenty of space. Going into our trip he made sure we were comfortable, and had adequate stops. While visiting the locations he was extremely knowledgeable, and gave plenty of history and facts with ease. We had no trouble with any language barriers and he made the day fantastic and memorable. Would definitely book his services again and highly recommend this company.

The real residence of Vlad Tepes - The whole complex represents immense historical value for the nation. For fans like me then of the figure of Vlad the impaler and 'a place to visit absolutely. I also recommend to visit the attached park (with the busts of the other rulers) and still see the whole town of Targoviste. For Poenari Fortress you can read my specific review here: https://www.tripadvisor.it/Attraction_Review-g2554420-d565231-Reviews-Poienari_Castle-Arefu_Arges_County_Southern_Romania.html
