A Wonderful 12 Hour Memory - My wife and I explored this region with Radu, honestly it was the best 12 hour experience from Bucharest. It takes that time to drive to, then walk around the stops and get back. Please go explore this region as the quaint Brasov is not to be missed. Peles is beautiful and Bran is mesmerizing. Radu is experienced as a tour operator. He was in contact with us the day before our tour. Extremely knowledgeable on historical facts as he and his family grew up in Bucharest. He is able to hold conversations the whole 12 hours - and Yes, while driving safely.

Brilliant day in Transylvanian - We just finished our 1 day Transylvania Tour. What an amazing day! Our initial contact was by phone with Giulien from Daco Tours. He communicated exactly what was included, the cost and payment options. He met us at the hotel and gave us our driver's details for the next day. Everything was very efficient and prompt. Radu arrived on time and off we went. Visiting Peles Castle from the outside, the Monestery old & new in Sinia, Brasov old town, the Black Church, the "Secret" Church and finally Bran Castle. We packed a lot of sightseeing in but never felt rushed. Radu was very knowledgeable about many aspects of the day. He was a safe driver, super friendly guy and was able to answer all our questions. We would highly recommend Radu as a guide/driver for this tour or any of the others offered.

Fantastic visit to Peles and Bran castles and the charming town of Brasov - We had a fantastic visit to Peles castle, Brasov, and Bran (Dracula’s ) castle with Rado as our guide. He is very familiar with the locations and shared lots of history and amusing anecdotes. He was also able to take us to locations in the castles that were not seen by the general bus tours such as the king’s bedroom and secret doors leading to the library. We highly recommend this tour

Doing Transylvania in Style - The day to the castles and Brasov is a long day in the summer. Having a private tour with a nice driver in a comfortable car is the best way to do it. Radu was an excellent driver and guide. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience - My friend and I took this private tour with Radu and had a great time. Radu was a great guide who was able to tailor the information and route based on what we wanted to do. There were some places we wanted to see and some places we wanted to skip which made doing this private tour a good option for us and Radu was more than willing to tailor to our needs. His car is also clean and smooth which we appreciated as the trip from Bucharest to these castles takes quite some time to reach. I'd highly recommend taking this tour (and especially doing a private tour over a large group tour).

Romania, a hidden gem - Radu was the best guide ever. We booked a 2 day tour of Romania (I wish we would have done a few more days). We did a cruise of the Danube prior to our tour of Romania and our guide met us at our last port, picked us up, and took us all around Romania. I didn't want to leave. Peles castle was so ornate and beautiful. It was better preserved and more gorgeous than many castles I've visited in Europe. A must see. We loved Sighisoara, Brasov, and Sibiu. I wouldn't miss any of these towns with the latter being our favorite. Romania looks a lot like Ireland, but at half the price. Do your family a favor and book a tour with Radu and see this amazing country with so much history.
