Delightful afternoon outside of Bucharest - Toni was really knowledgeable about the sites we visited as well as explaining Some aspects of Bucharest under communism when I inquired. He’s polite, friendly and I would definitely hire him again for an extended stay in Romania next time

Worthy tour with a professional tour guide, Marius. - Marius is a very professional tour guide, he provides the historical background and knowledge what I want, strongly recommend to have him being your private tour guide, worse tour guide just wasted your money.

Chill and awesome - I don’t write many reviews because they take time and I’m not getting paid for this time. It’s definitely worth taking the time to write a review for Marius though. If you’re looking for a relaxing, interesting, and nature-type experience away from the city, I would highly recommend this experience with Marius. Nothing felt rushed, he answered all questions from a sincere standpoint, and his decades of hospitality experience showed very well. Super cool sites, much energy to recharge, and overall a great day. I would do this experience again…..hope this review helps other travelers.

A Private Tour of Dracula’s Tomb - Toni is a fantastic guide. It’s a private tour, so he just picked me up in his car and drove me to all three locations. He gave the history of each, and he clearly knew his stuff. Considering how distant the three sites are, this is really the only way to do it. It was a great experience.

Far better than expected - Excellent tour made even better by an outstanding guide. It is rare to find a guide of this intelligence and knowledge. The palace is so interesting in such a lovely peaceful place. I still don't know if this was Prince Vlad's tomb (note, NOT Dracula!) but interesting to see.

Interesting places outside Bucharest - This was a nice way to see 3 places just outside of Bucharest. The monastery was very peaceful to explore. I loved Snagov monastery on the lake island and seeing Vlad's tomb. They had a whole family of friendly dogs and other animals to enjoy too. The palace was a nice stop and beautiful setting on a lake, even though we couldn't see inside. I appreciated Andriy's laid-back style and being able to just take time to enjoy each place.

I Bucharest tour, but not inside Bucharest with lots of things to learn - All three sites visited were really good ones to visit. They’re each different in their own way. Vlad, the Impaler’s grave was quite exciting to see. The castle is full of really fine artifacts for that. And also very interesting. The last monastery is exceptional, and it’s representation of the orthodox faith.
