Our first private tour and we were delighted with the experience. The tour was fast-paced, which was fine for us - be ready at 8 am. We saw so much more than if we would have tried it on our own. We were lucky to have a friendly guide, Michael. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, with excellent driving skills. Our plan of visiting Romania during COVID-19 end well, and I hope to discover more in the next years.

Due to the current covid situation, I had a private tour that day, which was awesome. Mathias was a great guide, has a lot of general Romanian knowledge along with historical. This made for great conversation on the way to and from the castles. I highly recommend the tour and would gladly do it again with friends and family in the future.

I had my first hiking experience with their help. We have visited a place near Brașov that took my breath away. They made me feel like I was part of the team and made everything feel super easy. I was a bit scared about snakes and bears but I knew I'll be protected in case of anything. This is the first day after the experience but I already look for the following one. They are professional, super friendly and, most of all, interesting people from which you feel that you can learn a lot of things. I truly appreciate and recommend them.

Autumn is a great time to visit Transylvania. One of the highlights for me was the mountain roads and seeing the bright autumn colours in the forests. The scenery is spectacular! Bogdan is an excellent tour guide who entertained me with his stories and knowledge of the castles. He is able to explain the history of the region and to answer any questions. Due to COVID, the castles were not crowded and the lines were short. The cold misty weather when I visited Bran Castle added to the spooky atmosphere.

This is a very professional tour company! The first impressions were great as I got very fast replies to my e-mails when planning the trip from home. The day of the trip Calin gave us a small itinerary of the day on a piece of paper. That was very good to have and first time ever received in a tour. Calin is easy to get along with and to talk to. Nice and friendly attitude. He also knows the facts about the sights and he is good at explaining them in advance, so when you get to the place you have time to explore. Very professional service and highly recommended.

This was not intended to be a private tour, but it ended up being so. I was solo traveling Romania and wanted very specific things to be included in the day - this was a tour that had it all. As a new tour option, not a lot of people had booked it, so I ended up being the only one for the day. I had the time of my life with Mimi! She came and picked me up at the meet up location. We started with the bear sanctuary. Very informative, you will see rescued bears up close and personal. We then made the trip to the next two castles as well as stopping for a brief lunch. I truly felt like I had a friend by my side experiencing the castle tours with me. During the car rides, I would ask her questions about Romania: the history, the culture, the people. Anything I asked, she would give me a very thoughtful and detailed answer. I learned about her life, which was an inspiration in itself. I had studied abroad for a time in Ireland and it turns out she had lived in Ireland for 10 years! She took the scenic route and we showed each other different music. I truly enjoyed myself all day long and was sad to see the day come to an end. I don't think I've ever had a better tour.
