10/10 guide. Go with Florin if you want to see the famous Romanain sites. - 10/10. I don't think I would have enjoyed my day half as much in these places without Florin. He brings a lot tot he experience and is very well priced for what you get. Florin picked me up right from my hotel, I didn't have to wait a minute longer than the agreed time. He drove very well and I felt safe the entire trip. He speaks very good English and has a much more detailed knowledge of the area's history. At two locations, other guides overheard him telling me about the sites, and they asked him for the stories! He is very patient but at the same time won't waste time on anything you're not interested in. He is very enthusiastic and brings the spots you visit to life with his stories. As a solo traveler, I couldn't be happier with how my day tour went. We saw Bran, Rasnov and Peles. Learning the history and purpose of each place from Florin helped with perspective. He's a stand up guy and you'll have a great time with him.

Great trip - Peles castle alone made the trip worth it. Brans castle and raznov was just extra on top. Florin, the tour guide, had a wonderful amount of knowledge about historic events of sites visited. Well worth the trip!

Castles tour from Brasov - Great day out with Florin a very knowledgeable and good company. The fact that the tour is private makes it so much more enjoyable and you get to take your time everywhere. This trip was the highlight of our stay in Brașov and we'd highly recommend it to everyone. We wish Florin all the best in his business!

Castles Day Tour - Outstanding day visiting iconic Transylvanian castles. We travelled from Scotland to tour Romania and were not disappointed. Our guide was a lovely and knowledgeable man, very good company and having the luxury of a private tour makes the entire experience a lot more personal and enjoyable. You can take your time, learn more about the places and engage in interesting conversations. Highly recommend this tour. It's been the highlight of our Romanian adventure. Thank you so much for today and hopefully we meet again. All our best wishes!

Excellent day tour with Florin - Highly recommend this day tour of castles. Of course we love Brasov as one of our bases in Romania. And Florin is an excellent guide, a good driver, and knows everything cultural and historical about Romania past/current changes. We had already visited Bran Castle which was great (and it snowed that day!) so Florin modified our trip for us with visits and thorough commentary: Ghimbov fortified church (very interesting), Saxon villages, Manastirea Caraiman, Rosnov Fortress (a bit of walking and gorgeous scenery), and Peles Castle. Wonderful day.

Great Castles and Great Guide - The Castles tour was amazing. Peles Castle is the most exquisite castle I have ever seen, Bran Castle had a special charm to it and the Râşnov Citadel (despite being closed and under construction) was spectacular and the views were incredible. We really enjoyed Florin’s company which is very important on a 7-8 hour trip. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about each Castle and about the many general Romania questions that we asked him. His knowledge and good conversation made the day perfect. We are grateful for the chance to visit and would highly recommend Florin for this or any of his other tours.
