Visit the castles of Peles, Bran and city of Brasov - The tour of the castles we did with my family was fabulous, mainly thanks to our Guide Andrei, a really nice and prepared guy who immediately put us at ease. Despite not speaking much Italian we still adapted between music and chats. Consigliato! Chiedete di Andrei!

Perfect all day tour - I had a wonderful full day tour with Andrei. I chose a private tour so I could go at my own pace and have some flexibility. Andrei was the perfect guide. He was kind, funny, thoughtful, interested and interesting. He pointed out many facts and details I would certainly have missed had I been on my own. I was able to see everything and not feel rushed or like simply a number on a tour. There was time for coffee and pastry at one stop and lunch and a stroll through Brasov later. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day and I reccomend if you are able, to do a private or semi-private tour. Andrei could not have been any better!

Incredible is the best word to describe. - This is an amazing tour and Andrei is the best guide. It is clear that he loves to share his knowledge. We appreciated Andrei’s flexibility and being sure that the tour was meeting our expectations. As teachers we loved hearing the historic significance and stories that he shared. The beauty of Peleş and its surroundings was incredible. All of the tour went beyond our expectations!! We highly recommended this tour and having Andrei as your guide.

Came for seconds!!! 10/10 - After being so impressed with the wine tour offered by Andrei, my father in law really wanted to explore more of the country with him so I booked this one as well. Again I got my nice quiet time with my fiancée while my in laws had a blast assaulting Andrei with 1 milion questions. They very impressed and I would highly recommend booking Andrei if you want someone to unfold Romania in front of you.
