Transylvania is a historical region in today's central Romania. Bound on the east and south by its natural borders, the Carpathian mountain range, historical Transylvania extended westward to the Apuseni Mountains. The term sometimes encompasses not only Transylvania proper, but also the historical regions of Crișana and Maramureș, and occasionally the Romanian part of Banat.

Great company to deal with. Our planning and booking was with Bogdan and all replies were quick and informative. We decided on a 2 day tour. Collection from airport late then straight to hotel Bucharest, early collection the next day with our guide Nick, we had a quick tour around the city and then onto mountains and Brasov. Overnight stay in Brasov. We requested a change to the next day itinery which was met so we could say we went off the beaten toursit path. Nick was very informative and enaging and always met our needs and understood our requirements from the trip. Before Nick left us in Bucharest back at the hotel he arranged a booking for us at the Palace of the Parliament so we knew which tour we were going on. In the price of the trip we also had a early collection from the hotel back to the airport even though our tour ended 2 days before. No stress, everything organised and everthing worked our great.

A big thanks to the curly team for this tour, especially for a very friendly atmosphere! It was a day full of impressions, we managed to see and to do even more than we expected. Everything was very well organized, even the rainy weather didn't disturb us, the guides had rain coats and hiking sticks with them, that was very helpful. The nature in this region is so beautiful, it's worth to see it! I hope one day we'll be back in Cluj and then we'll take another tour with the curly team for sure. Highly recommend the tour! And don't forget to bring your hiking shoes :)

Honestly the only way to really see Transylvania and the Carpathian mountains. Dan the guide is very knowledgable about the area and culture of the people. He is an excellent safe driver and you always feel safe with him driving. He knows multiple routes across the mountains depending on the weather and comfort level of his clients. If you just want to drive down dirt roads through the National Parks or do some more extreme off roand campng and fishing he can cater for your personal needs. Unlike other trips to the area Dan can customize the trip to your needs. Its definitly the only way to see the area.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
