Great day out - We had a great day out with Vlad, he’s very knowledgeable so we learnt a lot before we got to the castles. The quad ride was an enjoyable 1hr ride through the mountain. Transylvania was beautiful and nice change of pace from Bucharest. By going on a smaller private tour, you arrive before the coaches and avoid the masses…we ended up having a trip of just 2 (as it was out of season & nobody else was booked on, so we were able to tailor the trip a little). Definitely recommend!

Absolute Blast - Tour with ATVs was the best experience. The ATVs are fast and not sluggish at all. Easily went 70 kmh on the roads and kept a good pace in the mountains to keep up with the guide. Vlad was my driver and we spoke about the history of Romania starting from ancient history all the way to modern day. As an American myself, Vlad's english was perfect and he has a great sense of humor. Very reasonable and funny. He gave me a great tour of Bucharest and also recommended a locals restaurant for lunch which was fantastic. I was very pleased with Vlad and his friend with the tour and the hospitality and I will return someday with a friend to enjoy the tour again. I cannot recommend this tour/company enough. They are simply the best.

Quad Biking in the Forest - Superb trip start to finish. Full educational lesson on drive too and from the destination. Quads were amazing, really fast and lots of fun!

Entertaining - The day we spent with Jony couldn’t have gone any better, he was very nice and considerate. Starting from the pickup at the hotel till the dropout. He filled us along the way with details about the history of Romania and also about the the tour we had. He made us feel the most comfortable as any good tour guide would. I would recommend 10/10!

Unforgettable - As someone who has never been to Romania and was looking for some structure in terms of how to organise our day, this tour seemed to offer a great balance between choice and a structured day, visiting two castles and ATVing in the mountains.
Right from the outset our tour guide Johnny was warm, welcome and friendly, offering advice on what to do and helping explain what to expect during the day. He was also flexible enough to curate parts of the tour to what we would want to do, so for example if we did not want to visit another Castle, we would suggest another activity or place to visit and he would be more than happy to oblige.
The tour itself was amazing and we did everything as advertised, with Johnny as our ambassador having a wealth of historical and cultural knowledge for everywhere we went, even sorting us out with queue jumps and talking with the locals to make us feel as if we were given special treatment.
Any questions we had he was more than happy to answer, and throughout the Castle tour he was informative and patient as well as cracking the odd joke here and there. The ATVing was also amazing and because of the snow, made it even more memorable, skidding around throughout the Carpatian Mountains in our Camp gear, something I will not forget for a long time. Even with the few hiccups we had on the way, which were unrelated to our Tour Guide, Johnny was still on hand to make sure we had everything we needed, even if it was something as simple as getting us bottled water.
We ended our day in Brasov and through a recommended, authentic, Romanian Dinner and dessert which we toasted to Johnny for giving us such a wonderful experience, a perfect way to end our day and walk around another City to take in it's sights.
An example of Johnny's excellent customer service was his insistence on letting us see Bran Castle after it had closed, talking with the security guards for a period of time to see what he could do for us, despite us arriving late. Whilst he was unsuccessful, his willingness to go the extra mile was not unnoticed and for that we will always be grateful.
All in all, I would highly recommend this tour and I think Johnny needs a pay rise for the amount he does for us.

Brilliant Day, Well worth it - Jonny was brilliant. Couldn't have done more for us. Very accomodating. Picked us up early to avoid traffic on national holiday day. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Scenery & ATV were amazing.
Tip would be to wrap-up warm in the winter and wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy
Dracula's castle and Peles castle also great!
Worth every penny and would definitely recommend.
A different and exciting way to visit Transylvania and Brasov

History and adrenaline to understand Romania!! - The experience with Yunuth as our guide was super cool. The place look literally like a fairytale. And Yunuth explained us allot about the history with a story to make the experience through the fairytale complete. The ATV 4x4 ride was through a forest with mountains which made the ride even cooler.
A tip to improve and make the tour complete: as a 8-10h tour a bottle of water on the house would be nice. However there are allot of stops which makes it able to buy it on your own.
