Fantastic tour, amazing sights, and exceptional guide & driver team! - Our guide Ana and driver Florin could not have done a better job of safely navigating and learning about the beautiful land, people, and features of Transylvania in the Romanian historical context. Ana clearly knows and is adored by everyone at the sites - helping us quickly explore crowded castles. No time was wasted so we had plenty of time in the spots that mattered. She listened to our interests and nicely focused on those. An unexpected bonus that we thoroughly enjoyed was the friendly banter between guide and driver. A glimpse of Romanian culture, while still giving us some quiet time along the way.

Dynamic Duo!! - From Snagov to Sinaia monasteries to Romanian Chocolate, then Transylvanian’s Pelesto and Bran castles, ending with Brasov and a Romanian restaurant, our day was perfect!! Dan & Marios were a delight, informative, and we’d recommend this dynamic duo to one and all!!

A great tour of the Castles and Braslov - Had a wonderful Tour with Kockar and Christian! They were very accommodating and courteous. Kockar was extremely knowledgable and gave a wonderful and rich history of every site we visited. Even though there was a lot of time in the car, the conversation was interesting and I learned so much about the rich and storied history of Romania. The food was incredible and weather was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a good feel for Romanian history and see the countryside.

Best Tour Ever!!! - We took the private tour (2 people) and everything was fantastic! Adrian our guide provided a very professional and wonderful experience. Our pick up was on time and we driven in very clean van. The tour provided admission to the two castles with no waiting in lines and guided information along the way from Adrian. We also received a walking tour in Brasov. Snack and food suggestions were also given and did not disappoint. Time was also given to take photos and explore on our own. This is a must do for unforgettable memories!

Amazing Tour! - We had such a wonderful time on this tour! Our tour guide and driver Alin is very knowledgeable and made our experience great! My husband and I went on this private tour at the end of July 2022. We were able to see Peles Castle, Brasov, and Bran castle at our own pace and with plenty of free time to enjoy shopping and local cuisine. From the beautiful scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains to the beautiful medieval town of Brasov, it was an amazing experience. We definitely recommended this tour, and this tour company! Very professional and friendly!

A must when in Bucharest! - We booked this trip through our hotel for approximately 85 euros. We met our guide Adrian at the Hilton in the old town and from the start he was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was 5 of us on the trip and he took the time to answer all our questions and give us plenty of free time when we needed it for photos and the toilet etc. I recommend having breakfast before you go/taking it with you and some water however there are plenty of opportunities for food and drinks. Adrian knows the best places for street food at Dracula’s castle and it was very well priced and so delicious. The trip is approximately 12 hours door to door but very worth it. So glad we saw these beautiful castles and the fabulous old town. 5* service as you get a bottle of water and magnets as a souvenir from the tour with this company. Thank you Adrian.

Royal Romanian History - Guide (Tudor) was font of information about Romanian royals—not as much info as I would have liked about Dracula and early castle history. Driver was great! Lots of traffic meant we got back 2-1/2 hours late (14+ hour day). Big crowds everywhere.
