A lovely day visiting Saxon villages in Transylvania - I went on the Saxon villages tour with Florin on my solo trip through Transylvania as I wanted to get away from the cities and explore other parts of the region. It was a great decision and I'd definitely go again. Florin gave me a lot of insights on the places we saw and on life in Romania, both today and in the past... and he also customised the tour a bit, since I was alone. The conversations we had were another tour of itself :) thank you again, Florin, for sharing your knowledge, experience and life stories. I really appreciated it.

An excellent day!!! - The tour was very informative and pleasant. We discovered a lot of interesting things about the history of some villages and fortified churches from Transylvania (Viscri, Sachiz, Crit...). We visited also some fortresses (Feldioara, Rupea...). Our guide told us a lot of interesting things about the objectives included in the tour and was very attentive to our ideas. We strongly recommend the guide and the tour. Looking forward to attending another instructive and pleasant tour!

An unforgettable tour thanks to our incredibly knowledgeable guide! - Our trip to Romania, featuring Sighisoara, Biertan, and the village of Viscri, was unforgettable. Sighisoara, the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, captivated us with its medieval architecture. Our guide passionately shared the city's history, making the visit truly fascinating. Biertan, with its impressive fortress, surprised us with its beauty and rich heritage. The highlight was Viscri, a UNESCO-listed village, where we were enchanted by the traditional houses. Thanks to our guide, who immersed us in local stories, we will cherish these moments for a long time. We highly recommend this route to anyone eager to discover the beauty of Romania!

Ideal day trip from Brasov - Visited Sigisoara and fortified churches on private tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who made sure we saw everything. The churches are small and a private tour is the only way to see everything.

The best way to see Transylvania - Florin took us on two fabulous day trips, first to Peles palace, Bran castle and Râşnov fortress, then to the wonderful Saxon villages of Biertan, Sighisoara and Viscri. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Transylvania that we not only enjoyed this beautiful country but also learned about its amazing history. We would have no hesitation in recommending Florin if you really want to make the most of your trip to Braşov.

Excellent tour guide and driver. - Florin Ivan was great -- he took us to Sighisoara, Visci, and Biertan in a single day by car. He drove us, provided some history, answered all our questions. He was on time for the pickup. He even helped us with some pictures and remembered to send us all the photos before we parted ways. He also recommended some good restaurants for us in Brasov before we left! He was very professional. Highly recommended.

Fantastic day! - Florin is an amazing guide! We went to the Liberty Bear Sanctuary, Rasnov Fortress, and Harman & Prejmer Saxon Churches. I loved being able to discuss a wide variety of topics about Romania with someone who was truly knowledgeable. It was a fantastic day!

Florin - a fantastic guide and wonderful ambassador - Our memorable day tour was famous Bran castle and other fortresses around Brasov. Florin ensured it was well planned to cover all the venues. Things moved along very well and yet was not rushed - punctual and at a nice pace. Ended up we were pretty stress free and ahead of the main crowd after first stop, busy Bran castle. Florin's overflowing passion and pride for his country, its culture and history shone through with a free flow commentary of pertinent history and points of interest. He was always hospitable, courteous, helpful and easy with conversation. Also accommodating to fit in a nice coffee break. We even managed to purchase authentic local cheeses with Florin's help on the way. We certainly have no hesitation to recommend a tour with Florin!
