Adrian was prompt picking us up in the morning as we settled into a pleasant drive to Braşov. Stopped for a quick coffee about halfway. Adrian showed us around Braşov and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. We then drove to Bran Castle and Adrian was so knowledgeable about the history as he gave us a private tour. Finally we went to Peles Castle and once again astounded us with his depth of knowledge. Amazing day, one a highly recommend.

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.

The ride to get the the castle was kind of long but with the wifi I kept myself entertained. The castle was amazing and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and explain everything very well. I had an exceptional day learning about Romanian history. I would recommend this tour to anyone if they are spending a couple of days in Romania.

We had originally ordered the 5-day trip "Maramures, Bucovina & Danube Delta". Due to changes in flight times, we had to rebook the trip to a personal 4-day trip. We were in Sinaia, Bran, Brașov, Tulcea and Constanța. Despite the problem with the airline, it was no problem for Travelmaker to make changes and adapt the trip to the new conditions. Which we are very happy about. Travelmaker was very accommodating. We had a guide named Daniel during the trip, and Daniel was both nice and very knowledgeable. Which will make the whole trip to a magnificent trip. If you like nature, this was the perfect trip, even if we probably missed out on other experiences that the original 5-day trip would provide. I can highly recommend this trip and Travelmaker.
