    This excursion was worth the long day. Lots of free time & great cultural sites. Our guide was Bogdan & he was chatty & knowledgeable. He knew so much about the sites and seemed to engage with us far more than other guides.

    Big shout out and big thank you to Claudia our guide!! She was amazing, so intelligent, so kind, so funny and an amazing guide! She made sure the day ran smoothly and also made sure we avoided the rain! The information was great and clear, she got us all involved and helped out whenever we needed help. Me and someone I met were kind of lost in Brasov and out of no where Claudia was there to save us! The castles were great and it felt like you had enough time in each place, no rushing.

    Thank you so much Claudia for a great day!

    Great tour with Tudor, our tour guide, who was very knowledgeable and funny. We had some difficulty finding the bus in the morning but with helpful communication with them, we were able to locate where we needed to be and they waited for us to arrive. The tour is a long day - you need to get to two castles and Brasov of course - but the coach is comfortable and Tudor kept us entertained with lots of information and jokes along the way. There were also stops along the way to stretch your legs, use the toilet and buy snacks. The castles were great and Brasov was lovely. We ate well at the Dracula restaurant! There is scaffolding on Peles castle at the moment but you can still admire the architecture on one side and take photos. Please be mindful that if you go in winter it is likely that some pathways may be icy, or covered in snow, so suitable footwear is advised. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable tour with this company. Would use them again

    Christian and his friend picked me up at my hotel at 7:30 am and we started a 3 hour drive to Bran Castle. Felt safe and confortable the whole journey and both guys were very cool. After 1 hour we went to Brasov where I had lunch and stayed for another hour to get to know the city. Then our last stop was in Peles Castle (currently under restauration) for some photos. While coming back jn Bucarest, we passed through some atractions on the way and they explained some history. At 17:15 I was back to my hotel. Totally worth it, especially Bran Castle. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a more private and confortable experience and do like to travel and visit on your own rhythm.
    I was a solo traveler and booked the two mininum tickets. 100% in English.
    Tip: have a quick lunch in Brasov so you have enough time to go to the white tower.

    We had an unforgettable experience on the Transfagarasan tour, thanks to our incredible guide, Bogdan. His intelligence and deep knowledge of the area made the tour truly special. He was very patient, taking the time to stop at various scenic spots so we could capture beautiful photos. A highlight of the day was spotting a brown bear in the wild, which was a rare and exciting experience! We even got to enjoy some snow during our journey, which added to the magic of the day. Afterward, we had a lovely dinner, and Bogdan made sure we were well taken care of throughout. He safely drove us home, ensuring we felt comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend Bogdan as a guide – his professionalism and kindness made the tour exceptional!

    Veliko Tarnovo was amazing .. very beautiful town. Despite the rain and clouds, the view was great. Eating at Ego restaurant in town provided a great view of the river as per pics.

    Great thermal spa with lots to do and experience in one place under one roof! We booked an all access 12 hour day at Therme Bucharest and spent about 8 hours there.
    Totally worth it!
    The water park is really fun to experience especially as an adult as it brought us back to our childhood best times! Definitely go to the water park part of the spa earlier in the day as it gets busier after midday. The pools were heated and were amazing to swim in especially on the cold Nov day we had chosen to go on. The bars within the spa had a variety of drinks of choice which was good and being able to enjoy them inside or outside in the pool was great. The main restaurant had a variety of food which was hard to choose from but guess that's not a bad thing! We didn't book a massage but overheard people saying that it is worth it however there are some massage chairs which can be paid for (10 min sessions) that can be used as an alternative! The selection of saunas was amazing and each had their own unique twist on an experience within itself. At specific times, they give out face masks in the steam/saunas and have entertainment in the saunas which was fun and quite an experience in itself. All in all, a "very well worth it" experience! Highly recommend it!

    I’ve been on many tours and trips, but this one is by far the best value for money. You get so much for so little, and our guide, Mario, was exceptional. With his wealth of knowledge and vast experience, he explained every detail—from the rich stories and history of the sites we visited, down to practical tips like which machines accept cards or cash. He was truly a superb guide. Brasov was stunning, the castles were magical, and for anyone looking to see a lot in a short time and on a budget, this trip is absolutely perfect!

    Adrian Zaharia doesn’t know how to provide costumer service. I’m glad I canceled my trip with this company, shameful to have incompetent people like him working, when there are thousands of people looking to do a decent job.
