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.

Spooky stories, mysteries, legends about cruel vampires… This is how the two castles in Carpathians, Peles and Bran, are regarded. After a tour, travelers have a revelation. Romania is amazingly charming, Peles Castle looks like taken from a post card and instead vampires, they learn stories about loyal kings and daring queens. It is more than a cultural trip that everybody enjoys it, it is a pure, beautiful, Romanian experience. Discover true stories beyond the legends!

Inclusions: Bottled water, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Private transportation

Exclusions: Food and drinks, photo fees ( Peles Castle 35 RON/ person)

We spent two amazing days in Dracula’s Land guided by Dan. On the first day we explored Bucegi Natural Park, a beauty of nature covered in snow. We spent the night in a comfy lodge with fire place and mulled wine. The second day we visited mountain villages and after lunch we asked Dan if he could bring us to a ski resort for 2h of skiing. So we arrived in Poina Braso and enjoyed skiing in the afternoon. Everything was beyond expectations and we highly recommend 4x4 Wild Tours. Dankeschon Dan fur alles!

This is your chance to discover what makes Transylvania one of the most famous, mysterious and breathtaking places you have ever been to. You will take a walk in the bohemian Peles Castle and learn about Romania's Royal family. At just 1 hour away, you will enter in a more mysterious place that inspired Dracula's myth and legend. For the last attraction you will stroll around a beautiful Saxon town that is rich in history. You can admire its architecture, walk through the narrowest street in Europe, go inside the gothic style Black Church that dates back to the 15th century or go up the watch towers that surround the town and take in the view. These are just a few of the things you can do in this charming place. Peles Castle is closed on Mondays from May 12 to September 15; on Mondays and Tuesdays from September 16 to May 15; and for the month of November for cleaning and restoration.

My recollections of thelaces we visited in Maramures and Transylvania are a bit hazy -- but what I can say that is that Gelu was an absolutely superb guide -- warm, friendly, and very well informed -- through his insightful commentary I learned so much about Romania's rich cultural heritage -- it was a great pleasure just spending time with Gelu and his lovely daughter Lucia -- both of them wonderful human beings -- If you are looking for a first-class, multidimensional travel experience, you can't do better than Gelu as your guide -- Toby Symington

The experience was fantastic. Gaby was our guide and he is a very knowledgeable and pleasant person. Everything was well organized so we could enjoy the busy places at very quiet moments. The only point that i would improve is the hotel in Sighisoara which was outside the citadelle and not at a walking distance.

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.
