Excellent tour! - Despite the rainy weather, Radu made the day memorable. He patiently answered all our questions about Romania and ensured we had great views of the landscape whenever the weather cooperated. I would definitely recommend booking this tour. Most informative!

Fantastic and very interesting tour - We were 3 persons that did this tour and we all agree that it was fantastic! To see the Transfagarasan road, the impressive dam and the majestic Carpathian mountains was amazing. We even saw a real bear on the trip! Our guide Radu was just excellent and took us around to see these great places. During our day he also gave us a lot of information about beautiful Romania and we had a lot of interesting conversations about Romania, the political situation and the countrys history. We did this tour on our final day in Romania and it was just a great experience and an awesome farewell to beautiful Romania and Transylvania. We can really recommend to do this great and interesting tour!! And thank you Radu for a great day!

Our first tour in Romania! - We enjoyed the tour a lot and we were overall very happy about it. Radu was able to give us a good organisation for the day and was flexible with things that we wanted to do. I suppose that is the good thing about a private tour like this. A point for improvement could be a lot more fun facts, there were information that was given to us and they were quite useful. As a tourist I was kind of a bit looking for more, a pamphlet maybe for the future? But really no big issue here at all. I highly recommend this tour, its well worth it 👍
