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.

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.

3 week Holiday in small town near Cluj - called Campia Turzi. Then toured within 100 mile radius. Fantastic - beautiful scenery, mountains, rivers, lakes - never saw a caravan ! Walking and horse riding is superb. The food was first class and 100% organic as is the whole Country. It was hot - very hot close to 40 deg. The attractions are too many to list here right now but we went clay shooting, mountain walking, river walking wow its a rugged Country. The people were very friendly and it was very safe to walk around even at night. So many police deters the bad folk. Went to a mountain church where the head priest has his own "Tweeka" (apple brandy) brewery. More than 80% proof rocket fuel. He gave us a full lunch and a couple bottle this brew - no charge. The bars and cafe's are joy to sit outside and have a very cheap beer or three. Fantastic cake shops and you must try the cake called "Papanasi" - if this is not the best cake you have ever seen or eaten. Made with blackberries and cottage cheese - just sublime. I spent another 10 days in a hotel with my 35 year old son - the Sun Garden near Turda in Cluj. We had breakfast, lunch and evening meals then guests for drinks every night. Cam to settle the bill on leaving - just COULD NOT BELIEVE It - came to less than £1000 when I was expecting £3000 ! Finally for now this is a land of truly Beautiful people and super super fit. Is there any fat people in Romania? I do not think so. The women have to be seen to be believed.

Georgiana Highly recommended. From the start, Georgiana communicated closely to really understand and customise an itinerary to suit our likes, interests & schedule for our Brasov to Bucharest holiday. All guides were truly local to the area, which meant we got insights and introductions to local spots not listed in guide books. The flexibility to adapt the itinerary as we went along, impromptu stops (like the best home-made Gelato I’ve ever had, known only to locals), the passion for their craft, the love for their country and sharing not just local knowledge but also personal experiences, made the trip extra special. They kept in constant touch with us from the time we boarded the train in Budapest, Hungary and were greeted right at the platform in Brasov, Romania. It was just us and our guide, on walks and drives to all the various cities, towns and villages, savouring artisanal produce, meeting locals and sharing tales from Brasov to Maros, Sighişoara, Prejmer, Prahova, Bran Castle, Snagov to Bucharest. All experiences were skip the line. Days trips out of Bucharest also took us to places I never heard of and would never have thought to explore, like Fulga De Jos, Buzău, lunch at Ferme Dacilor, Ilfov, from a private tour of the Police Museum in Târgovişte to a private wine tasting then wine blending workshop with the chief winemaker at Budureasca. To think we fit all that in less than 2 weeks - Truly a memorable experience !
