Great experience in Transylvania - I would like to recommend this tour. Transylvania has plenty of interesting places that could be a little difficult to reach without transportation. Catalin is an exceptional guide and an expert driver, always nice and with good suggestions to maximize time and money. His car is modern and comfortable. For a family of 2 adults and a child, it was a great experience. Totally recommended. (Reviewed at: 2023-05-21)
