Amazing trip with an amazing guide! - Took the private tour with Idan, had a fantastic time. Idan is a friendly, funny, and informative tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate which made our trip. He was flexible with timings and also helped us with ideas and reservations for our time in Bucharest. I’d highly recommend booking with Idan and wouldn’t hesitate to do another tour with him in future!

A gem of a tour guide! - This tour was beautiful, fun and exciting. It would have been all of these things anyway but having Idan Ross as our guide made this day the absolute highlight of our trip!
Our day started when Idan picked us up at 07:00 at our hotel. We were a party of four adults and we felt spacious and comfortable in his van. We customized our tour - our first stop was the bear sanctuary. It was hot and we were extremely hungry after this. Idan was waiting for us at the exit with his van nice and cool. There are many places to eat along the way but Idan had a treat for us… D.O.R. For lunch! The food was fresh and delicious and the views of the Carpathian Mountains were breathtaking. There were sheep grazing outside the window while we ate. Idan had special recommendations for tasty fruit drinks too. We could just cry thinking about this experience.
After lunch it was time to head to the castle. We visited Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) which is a must see when visiting Romania. We were so hot and so exhausted after this long day. The thought of the ride home and the traffic made us a bit nervous but Idan had a trick up his sleeve. We absolutely did not hit one bit of traffic. This man knows the roads of Transylvania as if he built them. He took us through roads that tourists and travelers may not know about. Thank you Idan!
During our journey Idan was a wealth of knowledge of the history, towns, people and villages of this beautiful land. Even though this day was long, being in the company of someone who is funny and candid was awesome!
A GEM

Stunning locations with the best guide! - This is an amazing 1 day tour and well worth visiting. It was great to get out of Bucharest and into the Mountains to take in the stunning scenery and history. It was the most incredible trip with the most amazing guide, Idan. He was knowledgable, fun, adaptable and knew everything there is to know about each stop of the tour and Romanian life. The day started with Idan picking us up in his mini van outside our hotel. Only x3 persons and Idan on our tour which was great. Small intimate tour, no queues or waiting for the passengers or coach! He tailormade the timings too. He had a lovely airconditioned minibus which we really appreciated in the 33 degree heat! He even had spare phone chargers if we needed. On to the tour he gave us all the history and all there was to know about each stop. He even explained various landmarks along the journey, he was diverse he covered each area from working life/politics/communism/ money/ oil/farming/shops/facts/general knowledge to life of villagers too. A bonus gave us a brief history of Romania which was extremely informative and interesting. Whist travelling to each destination. We felt like a friend was taking us on the trip. He speaks perfect English too.
We explored the grounds of Peles Castle, King's Summer Palace, Bran Castle, which also has a market with small stalls for souvenirs. Idan helped us speak to the stall holders too. We also visited Brasov a lovely town. We stopped for lunch in the main square and even had time for a quick zoom around the town before heading back to Bucharest. Idan's magic even navigated us to the front of the queues and explained everything to us in a way we retained the information. He was great fun and so passionate about his guiding tour and and his Country. It really showed during the trip. A really fabulous trip with the most amazing guide. Well worth the trip. We were sorry we didn't have another trip booked with him. By the end of the tour we came away feeling we saw so much in one day and have created truly wonderful memories - a really great trip!!!! If you are in Bucharest for 2 days go book the trip. It starts early around 7.30am! Be prepared it's a long day around 12 hours but it flies by so quickly - too quickly! So much beauty outside the city in the Mountains. We covered 480kms! By the time we got back to Bucharest we felt tired but chuffed we did his trip.
Go book the trip! You will not be disappointed. It's excellent value for money and trip was the highlight of my visit to Bucharest. Thank you Idan.

What an incredible tour - We took the Sinaia, Bran and Brasov mountain tour with Iden Ross from Romanian Unique Tours. What an amazing day. Iden picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable airconditioned minibus and drove us out of the city. On the way he pointed out all the landmarks and gave us a brief history of Romania which was extremely informative and interesting. Whist travelling to each destination, Iden told us about the places we were visiting and understanding the history made it all the more interesting.
We explored the grounds of Peles Castle, we visited the King's Summer Palace, we saw Bran Castle, had time to check out the stalls for souvenirs, and we visited Brasov where we had lunch and time to shop. Iden was with us every step of the way. He navigated us to the front of the queues and explained everything to us in a fun and easy to understand way. He was so passionate about his tour and his knowledge and caring nature was impressive. The tour is a long one but it went by so quickly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Iden. He was truly worth every penny and made this tour the highlight of our trip.

Best tour ever - Idan was one of the most professional and knowledgeable tour guides I encountered! It made my experience visiting Brasov unforgettable. He explained everything in detail and made sure I understood all the history. I personally like to connect with the site I visit and its history, so Idan made sure I felt the connection with the mountains, sceneries, people, and the culture. I highly recommend this trip with Idan. He will definitely make your travel experience unique.

A beautiful day tour with Romanian Unique Tours - We ordered a full day private tour with Romanian Unique Tours. We were in contact with Idan which was very kind and pleasant. He explained everything and told us all the options for tours. We booked a day trip to Brasov, Sinaia and Bran. On the day of the trip the guide Idan was waiting for us at the hotel entrance excatly on time. Along the drive he gave us interesting information about Bucharest and its surroundings including the history, and had vast knowledge. He was very kind and full of patience. At the end of the tour he took us to an authentic restaurant. It was a very fun day, full of enjoyment and good experiences. I definately recommend taking a tour with Romanian Unique Tours.

Never thought to see such incredible views.
Super professional and friendly guides. Was great!!
