        Amazing Tour!
        This Romania-guided tour from George was INCREDIBLE! I felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. Geroge was a great driver, an amazing tour guide, humorous and always willing to answer any question. If you are interested in traveling to Romania even for a short trip, I highly recommend George!

        Fabulous tour
        We enjoyed our 11 day private tour with George. He’s an expert driver, a knowledgeable guide, humorous guy, and showed us the real Romania. Great locations, fantastic homemade food, and very photogenic.

        Fantastic Best Ever Tour
        There were three of us who did a 14 day tour with George. It was an incredible 14 days. George is a fantastic guide and driver. He is an expert on Romanian history and added interesting and valuable insights to all the places we visited. George was very flexible and open to things outside the tour itinerary. We have a really good understanding of Romania and its history thanks to George. One of our group had done a similar tour 2 years ago with George and was so impressed she wanted to go back. If you want to see Romania, George is the one to lead the way!

        Excellent private tour of Transylvania
        Over a year ago I originally booked a solo private custom tour with George to visit Transylvania. Due to personal reason, I rescheduled the tour a couple times and finally made it in July with the addition of 3 more persons. George was absolutely friendly, easy to work with, honest and knowledgeable about Romania. George responded very quickly to all questions. All the accommodations were great, including King Charles’ guesthouse and a beautiful guesthouse in Malancrow. Even the hotel near the airport , Vienna house, was wonderful. George also included in his quote, 2 wonderful home cooked lunches. I cannot say enough how outstanding the service rendered by George. Anyone who wishes to visit Romania should contact George. I hope even with the popularity , George can continue keeping his cost reasonable.

        Overnight tour to the delta.
        George was a truly great tour guide. His english was excellent. He was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about running tours, his country, and learning about the world himself. I would recommend anyone who wants to do a tour in romania to book george. You will learn a lot and have a host that goes above and beyond the standard tour. George provided a personalized service that exceeded our expectations.

        14 days magnificent experience in Romania
        We had spent 14 days in Romania with the assistance of George Trandafir who was a smart, reliable, passionate and resourceful gentleman. He gave a lot of advice and accept my certain request patiently. Finally an impeccable itinerary was tailor made. At the beginning of the journey, we were leaded by his staff who was very polite and helpful. George prepared a detail program list for the driver to ensure everything was on the right track. Besides, he closely contacted with me to answer our question and recommend restaurants for us so we could taste the wonderful local cuisine. After the Sighisoara trip, George took up his staff’s duty. He demonstrated his professional ability and profound knowledge on Romania in all aspect. He drive very safe that provided a comfortable journey and his vehicle was spacious. Above all, he also arranged different attractions for us to experience the natural beauty of his mother country. Furthermore, I would like to say thanks to George for finding my lost drone. :) Romania was disregarded and underrated by most tourists. She possessed diversity of land features and historical structure for tourist to explore. Under the guide of George, we were blown away by the mother nature of Romania especially in Danube Delta where different species of birds lived peacefully and harmonically with each other. I wish to visit this lost horizon again in Autumn time and George is my unique choice.

        A Great Transylvania Tour with George
        We toured Transylvania with George Trandafir. He is a most likeable and very knowledgeable gentleman. George was actively involved in helping us to plan our itinerary. His hotel recommendations were excellent as were his restaurant suggestions while on tour. George knows Romania quite well and knows the best sites to see and when best to see them. He was very generous with his time, quite flexible, always on time and a pleasure to be with. Overall, we found George to be a great guide who provided us with an enjoyable and memorable experience at a fair price. We highly recommend George!! Allan and Janet from Canada.

        Cultural, walking and dining experience in Transylvania.
        We loved everything about the places we visited in Transylvania. Our guide George gave us vital information on what were the most interesting places to visit, for example the Evangelical church in Sibiui. Our stay in Breb was magical.

        Great 5 day Transylvania tour with George!
        I would highly recommend George, the owner and guide for Touring Romania. First, he was very accommodating and helpful as we designed our five day Transylvania tour. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable about Romania and speaks English very well. His SUV was very comfortable with lots of space for two couples. All four of us very much enjoyed our five days with George.

        Awesome Romania
        Romania is as country with old world charm, entrenched traditions, and modern conveniences. We loved touring Romania with George. George is very passionate and knowledgeable about Romania and it’s history. He used this knowledge to put things into context when visiting the amazing castles, churches, villages, etc. George was amazingly flexible and changed up the tour to accommodate our interests. The days were full but not rushed. The hotels we stayed at were clean and comfortable. The food was great, but if you are vegetarian or vegan, Romania might be a challenge. George is an ace tour guide; personable, funny, helpful,I could go on. Go see Romania with George and discover its hidden gems.

        Wonderful Tour
        After a conference in Bucharest, we went on a short tour with George along with 7 other conference attendees. It was a fantastic trip to the beautiful Transylvania area of Romania. Although, we covered a lot of ground in a 3-day trip, George's meticulous planning ensured we never felt rushed, and he made sure he budgeted some time so people on the tour were free to do some shopping, a hike etc. The selection of hotels was excellent, right at the center of town, very convenient to major sights and restaurants. George made everyone feel at home and he provided wonderful overviews of the different sights we were visiting. He was very attentive and took everybody's needs into consideration. Multumesc George.

        Wonderful tour of Transylvania
        I travel quite a bit and do not usually get tour guides. But because this one is for Eastern (as opposed to Western) Europe, a friend suggested to me that it's better to join an organized tour. That was a great piece of advice and the tour I picked with George (who owns Touring Romania) was absolutely wonderful. The tour covered a number of scenic towns and castles in Transylvania and you'd enjoy it immensely if you're into natural beauty and/or history. George was very friendly, very professional, and knowledgeable. He's great at striking the right balance between giving you interesting information and not overloading you with it. The van ride was great because he explained things but there was also plenty of quiet time to just soak in the scenery or just have a little nap. Also, the pace of the tour was just right. We covered numerous sights and there was plenty of time for us to explore each town on our own. I would highly recommend this tour. One final tip - Before leaving Brazov, I'd highly recommend you take the cable car to the Tampa mountaintop. The views from the top are amazing. The service starts at 9:30 and if you make it to the ticketing office about 20-30 minutes in advance and catch the first car up, you should have enough time to go where the big Brazov sign is, soak in the view, take some pictures, take the cable car down, and be back at the hotel for 10:30 departure.

        Excellent country, excellent view, excellent guide
        We are a group of 9 colleagues travelled with George. It is really great in all senses. I didn’t really know how to imagine Romanian views other than Dracula, but it is really awesome. Especially the villages and also the meal in the village. It is a very local experience in a world heritage village, peaceful, with mountains as a background. And so delicious food and drinks, even the bathroom is so clean! The pace of the tour is another shine. Our group have both people in their 60s and in their 20s, from 3 different continents - apparently we are all quite happy😂. George gave us a lot of options on what we could do once we arrive at a nice medieval city, and we just do what we find interesting. It is really relaxing while full of discoveries. And he has great restaurant recommendations (and takes good pictures). And I must highlight our guide George was very very nice and helpful!! Another stupid thing I did is to forget my jacket in a previous hotel.. I thought I’m gonna lose it or sth, but George helped contacted the hotel and managed to find another guide there who will visit the same restaurant as we will - and the other guide agreed to bring my jacket for free:) our guide is really doing a splendid job. He’s a problem solver. And people are so nice here.

        Brilliant!!!
        Loved, loved Romania and George's knowledgeable and easy-going tour guide skills and manner. We saw castles, villages, cities, churches, private residences, and resorts, and participated in holiday and religious celebrations and local customs and practices. We learned about Romania's complex history-- the Saxons, Hungarians, Ottomans, Soviets, the EU, and more. Our days were full, yet we weren't rushed. Site visits and driving times were balanced. I definitely recommend George's tours. .

        A Hidden Gem
        I just returned from almost three weeks in Romania, and it is definitely a hidden gem. There is so much to see-mountains, lakes, big cities, smaller cities and towns that still retain their old-world character, and so much more. George was our guide for two weeks, and he was great. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and was willing to provide any extra support that was needed. He was also very funny, and a pleasure to be with. I learned a lot from him. I am definitely planning to go back to Romania. I think it's only a matter of time before the word gets out, and they see a lot more tourists.
