Impressive! - We were looking for a day trip from Cluj, both locations were great to visit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. I noticed other people listening to our guide because they were missing the great stories. Would highly recommend this itinerary.

Hunedoara and Alba Iulia - a dream come true - I had a wonderful tourguide by the name of Joseph who took me on a adventure and had the patience to go into great detail about the history of each location. At the end of the experience I feel I have a greater understanding of a previous part of their history - and I can tell you, it is intriguing. I enjoyed it so much, I've passed the details onto all of my colleagues and intend to book at least one more tour!

Amazing tour, very informative, wonderful service - We arrive to Cluj on an overnight bus, so they offered to pick us up at the bus stop and take us somewhere for breakfast! We didn't have to hassle with getting our luggage to our apartment first. It made things so much easier. Our guide, Joseph, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was told us all kinds of things about Romania and its history on the way to the castle. He didn't even mind when we fell asleep (due to lack of sleep on the bus lol). The castle was amazing and he walked us around and was full of information on the history of it. We saw remnants from communist rule, and went to the Rome ruins and Albu Iuliu before driving back to Cluj. He took us straight to our apartment and even called our host to make sure they were coming to let us in. All around a wonderful experience!

Very Informative and Flexible! - We booked this tour on a Thursday and we asked if we could swap Alba Iulia for Salina Turda. Geta wonderfully accepted and took us on a very historically informative tour! She was very friendly and knew a lot about the architecture, myths and legends of the area and the monarchs that resided within. One can tell that she is very passionate about history and is generally a trove of knowledge. Highly recommend!
