Amazing experience with Narcis - Fantastic tour with Narcis. He went above and beyond any expectations that we could’ve imagined. Caldurasani was closed for renovations but he more than made up for that with additions based around our likes and interests. This is not a large group tour and provides a very personalized experience. Never was the tour rushed or did we feel that we might’ve missed something by not being able to do the full itinerary. This was also significantly less expensive than what was offered via Viking. 5 stars is underrating the quality and value of this tour.

Wonderful guide.....outstanding history lesson! - This trip was amazing and Serban, as a guide and driver was unsurpassed. This was one of the most pleasant and informational tours we have ever done. Serban let us spend more time in the places that were of more of interest to us and always supplied great history and personal knowledge. I can't imagine any guided excursion being any better. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended.

Best tour and guide ever had! - Honestly driving in Romania has been a bit of headache, we decided to take the this tour offered at the hotel. The best decision we made! Boogie our tour guide was amazing, informative and we felt safe. It’s a shame we didn’t book more tours with him and the company. If you take a tour ask for this company and for Boogie you won’t regret it, and yes Boogie we will be back.

Mogosoaia palace and Snagov monstery - Caldarusani monastery was being restorated at the time of our tour, so we visited other two locations. Guide seemed knowledgeable, but not much in the mood to talk. Inside tour of the palace is short , so it would be nice to at least have some free time in it's park.
