“Into Transylvania - Our tour with Bogdan was the beginning of our trip and what a great start it was. He took us to several wonderful places in Transylvania. We particularly enjoyed how he shared the history and culture of the area, getting into areas the big tours do not visit as well as some of his own life story. Bogdan is a very pleasant guide with a great sense of humor. It was like traveling with a good friend.” - Reviewed on 2024-04-16
