Excellent tour with Florin - Florin was an excellent tour guide. It genuinely felt like we were with a well informed friend. He adjusted the tour to accommodate disability as well. We set off from Brasov at 8.30 and would definitely recommend the same as Bran Castle was near empty when we arrived, getting much busier by the time we left. Florín gave personal recommendations and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of all of Transylvania. A great morning!

Beautiful tour with wonderful guide! - Florin was an incredible tour guide who showed us the beauty of Brasov and surrounding Carpathian area with its amazing historic sites. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and is completely fluent in multiple languages. The drive was very smooth and Florin helps you skip wait times at the castles. Great value for the price, we would highly recommend him as your guide for the area, do not even hesitate to book with him!

Best choice - If you wanna tour around Transylvania and visit the ancient castles flip flop tours is the tour you need to book. Florin (our guide) was super informative about the castles the surrounding areas and the history of Transylvania. He was also very friendly and for sure he kept our interest all the time. Totally worth the money and time we spent.

Excellent day out - Myself my husband and 7 friends went to Brasov for my 50th Birthday.
Prior to our trip I contacted Florin to arrange a private tour to Bran Castel and the Rasov fortress, the communication between Florin and myself prior to our trip was excellent and nothing was too much trouble we had a car and a mini bus as there were 9 of us in total and he was such a friendly person and so easy to get on with.
The trip was amazing Florin had so much knowledge about the castle, Fortress and surrounding area he made sure we got to the castle early so that we didn't have to queue which is always a bonus
He took us to up to the ski resort on the way back so we could have a look which was an added extra.
I would definitely recommend this tour and would definitely book with Florin again if we get chance to go back as there are so many other lovely places in Romania to visit pity we didn't have the time to do more.
A big thanks Florin from

Made all the difference between a great day and a frustrating one - This tour was worth the price for the ability to skip the long line at Bran alone -- being chauffeured around instead of having to find the destinations and park a car, and being given an insider's commentary throughout the tour, were icing on the cake. Lines at Bran in August are long -- really long. But with this tour you get to saunter past hundreds of people and save yourself a lot of waiting in the hot sun. Florin is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide -- he also speaks 5 languages! Chances are good that one of them is yours. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tour, Thanks Florin - Such a great tour with a devoted guide.
The Bran Castle was crowded but we didn't have to wait a lot to start the visit.
I definitely recommend this tour or the one including the Peles Castle.

Good but Rushed - Our tour guild Florin was great and it was awesome having a ride from place to place in a comfortable vehicle. My only complaint is that it was a little rushed and we had two other groups with us that spoke different languages so he kept having to repeat in each language even though on trip advisor it said an English tour. This caused us to have a short period of time at each place and it felt very rushed especially if you would like time to shop as there are a lot of shops at Bran Castle. I am giving it four stars because the tour guild was so awesome and it is not his fault. It is either trip advisors or the tour company.
