Our guide, Bogdan, was very professional, knowledgeable and passionate about local history, geography and culture.
Bogdan is also well-connected within the local community - he was able to give excellent recommendations for shops with artisan products and restaurants serving specific traditional Romanian dishes we wanted to try.
Every day of our tour was action-packed and we were able to cover lots of touristic attractions (including some hidden gems such as an old watermill and a traditional weaving mill). The destinations included in the tour were varied in nature: a bear reservation, a stud farm, castles (Bran, Peles), fortresses (Rasnov, Fagararas), villeages (Viscri), monasteries (Snagov) etc.
The provided accommodation was comfortable (spacious, clean and warm room) and within walking distance of the Brasov city centre. Our hosts were friendly and also very knowledgeable about local history. The breakfast options provided included vegetarian meals.

Super positive experience! I wanted to take a little holiday in the Motherland, also visiting castles and visiting characteristic Romanian areas that I had never been to. With this tour and thanks to my guide I was fully satisfied, both visually and culturally! Absolutely recommended!

The tour guide/driver, Bogdan, was enthusiastic and helpful in every possible way. He was knowledgeable and explained the historical aspects of places we were visiting sufficiently well for us to enjoy them fully.
Bogdan collected us from our hotel in Bucharest every day at 9 am and returning us to our hotel at around 5 pm. The Hotel in Brasow (Jacob’s Hotel where we stayed was clean and comfortable and the breakfast and customer service was excellent.
Myself and my partner spent four wonderful days seeing a variety of interesting sights and places including Peles and Bran castles, a bear sanctuary and Lippizanner horse farm, as well as the breathtaking Carpathian mountains surrounding the medieval town of Brasov in Transylvania where we were based.
One of the highlights of the tour for me was the medieval town of Sighasoara where we could easily have stayed the night or several days. The only day I felt was not 100% satisfied with was the third day where we visited two traditional Romanian villages with water wheels and wool manufacturing plant and the fortified church and village which did not come up to otherwise high standard of all other places on the tour itinerary.
On our way back to Bucharest we passed through the stunning area of Azuga with tooth shaped peaks towering over the small ski resort town.
In summary, I would highly recommend this tour and guide to anyone wishing the see the “real” Romania as well as enjoying popular tourist sights such as Dracula’s castle and the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler.

My husband and I took a four night Transylvania tour with Adriana and could not have enjoyed it more. Our wonderful guide picked us up at Bucharest Airport and took care of every detail for our tour of the region. We visited Brasov, Viscri, Sibiu, Sigishoara, and more, plus drove the Transfargarasan Highway! We saw castles, medieval towns, farms, wildlife, and enjoyed every minute. She took care of everything, listened to what we wanted, and went above and beyond to ensure our time was well spent. We can't thank her and Bogdan enough for making our trip one to remember.

Adriana and Tibi live in Brasov and met us in Bucharest for the tour. They were very entertaining with information and history of the area and flexible in the scheduling. We had to move the visit to Pele's Castle to our last day.
They planned our last day to make sure we made our flight to London and then back to the USA.

I stayed for 3 nights in Romania. First night in Bucharest 2nd and 3rd nights in Brasov. Bogdan picked me up from the airport and took wonderful care of me during my time in Romania. He showed me the highlights of Bucharest on the first day and on the second day we visited Bran Castle (The Dracula associated one) and Peles Castle which was absolutely beautiful. In the evenings I had time to explore Bucharest/Brashov by myself and Bogdan gave me a recommendation of where to eat at both. I am sure if I had asked for others he would have gladly helped me out as he was generally a really helpful person who knew what I needed to know. I would also add that he is honest, which I really appreciated.
We also visited a really interesting fortified church in a very pretty ancient (UNESCO) village and a large fortress/fortified town full of fascinating history and with the most beautiful views (to be honest, we did so much in the time I was there I hope I am recalling it all in the correct date order! and am managing to remember it all without getting out my photos!).
The last day we went to the Bear Sanctuary, which was a personal highlight, seeing the bears (although the bear's histories are very sad), and the very old monastery where Vlad the Impaler is buried (Snagov monastery).
I learnt so much about Romania and was so grateful to Bodgan for all of his help, his flexibility and for his attention in looking out for me and making sure I had what I needed. I was travelling alone in a country I had nor visited before, hence being keen to use a tour. I do not hesitate in recommending this company and genuinely hope to return to Romania with friends, so they can also experience the great things I did. I will be planning to use this company again!

Bogdan took us from Cluj to Bucharest with overnight stops in Sibiel, Sighisora and Brasov. Trip also included visits to Turda Salt Mine, Bran and Peles Castles amongst others. He is a very knowledgeable guide and seemed to be well connected with people at all the stops who seemed to go the extra mile for us because of this.

We really enjoyed our tour with Alex. He was very patient with us. He answered all our questions. He brought us to great restaurants. He is a good driver. He really made sure we were having a good time touring Transylvania. My favorite was Shigisoara!!! I wish we had a longer vacation time so we could extend our stay in the pretty places. Truly memorable ....

In august 2018 we´ve seen most of the Rumanian highlights during a 6 day private trip with Bogdan. I never had a private guide/chauffeur before, but I think it´s definitely the most relaxed and effective way to travel and it´s more or less affordable as Rumania is still a relatively cheap country. The main roads aren´t that bad anymore, but you´d really need to have driving as an absolute hobby to enjoy to get behind the wheel yourself. Rumania has only few highways so mostly you drive with 80 km through the villages and it´s basically a non-stop sightseeing experience. We stayed in guest houses with authentic breakfast and dinner included which we enjoyed a lot.
Above all Bogdan was a very easy-going and pleasant person to be around all this time and we never had the feeling that his presence was too much or too little. The aspect of travelling with a guide that I liked best, was the fact that you get first-hand information both on formal and informal subjects of life in Rumania. Bogdan speaks perfect English and was very flexible with adding extra stops, for example for a spontaneous market visit or simply for stretching the legs during the longer trips in the car.
Besides the UNESCO churches in the North I really liked the painted egg museum, the famous blue cross grave yard and the lovely old town of Sighisoara. Rumania for us was a big surprise, unspoiled by mass tourism, with lots of nature beauty (in august all was very green and flowery!) and much tourist potential.
