Amazing day in Transylvania - Emanuel was a super professional and friendly guide who arrived on time at our hotel for a 12 hour tour of Peleş castle, the town of Braşov ( where we had a lovely lunch) and then Bran Castle. He planned strategically so we could avoid massive crowds of kids off for Green Week, first doing Peleş Castle before the hordes of students arrived then going to Braşov for lunch and ending with Bran/Dracula castle. He was a safe, excellent driver and provided a large bottle of water per person and bags of snacks and sweets for the long ride. Also during the drive he provided interesting and thoughtful historical information on România and the Transylvania area where we were heading.

Fantastic private day trip - Fantastic day trip privately hosted by Emmanuel who is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great chat about all things Romania on the drive. One thing to note is that it’s a good 2 hour drive from Bucharest, we left at 9am but I would suggest leaving earlier if you can (Emmanuel is flexible with pick up times). The journey back encounters extra traffic so roughly 3 hours. Think about taking some extra snacks and water with you. We had a wonderful lunch in Brasov to finish. Overall a great and day and would highly recommend!!

Great family tour! - We had a great day with Emmanuel! Learned a lot from the moment to set foot in the van! He was wonderful with the kids too! It’s hard keeping a 16, 12 and 7 year old all engaged learning history but he did it! Highly recommend for family!

Amazing day trip - Truly one our favourite experiences. Emanuel creates a customised itinerary just for you. He finds out what is important for you to see and arranges the trip around your interests. He provides information about the areas you drive through and helps you with background before entering the castles. He even has water, snacks and treats for you in the car. Our whole family loved the trip.

Exemplary and Kind - Looking for a intelligent, kind, ethical, historically knowledgeable person who is fun, thoughtful, as well as a great driver who knows the roads innately?
Emanuel is the only person to book. Always timely, his comfortable, safe vehicle will get you where you want to go in the shortest time, while being considerate of traffic laws. We were extremely satisfied with his excellent service.
We loved Romania, but we loved Emanuel even more. A new friend in a beautiful reverent country.
Bravo and Hugs.
