Brasov - a beautiful town. - Bogdan was our guide & driver. A gentleman, experienced & resourceful. Brought us fruit from his garden. We did the trip in record time - 11 hours. If finances permit, a private trip is the way to go.

Amazing Day in Transylvania - Learning about the history of Bulgaria and its rulers, including the wrath of Vlad the Impaler were highlights of this private tour. Our tour guide Angelica covered that and everything from architectural styles to food to cultural information. But most of all, Angelica's warm and welcoming manner and how accommodating she was for our group of four. We learned so much and saw so much, it was an amazing day. You would be lucky to have her as your guide.

The Perfect Sunday with Bogdan! - I invited 3 close friends from Bucharest to join me for a private tour to Transylvania. Past adventures taught me that day trips can be the highlight of a vacation, or the thing that ruins one, completely dependent on the guide assigned. Thank God for Bogdan. He understood our needs- giving us freedom to go at our own pace, focusing on the quality of our tour over the quantity of things we saw and did. In Braşov, we loved the Black Church, a drop-in tour of a beautiful synagogue, lunch on the square, and just the right amount of history and humor. We decided to skip Dracula’s castle, as seeing the beautifully extravagant Peles Castle was far more appealing. It was in the castle that Bogdan’s rich wealth of knowledge about the history of Romanian royals. Every room of that castle has a story, and every story got more interesting as we moved along. I highly recommend this tour! Only thing to consider is the traffic- these destinations are sought out by many, so bring a playlist and sit back and enjoy the beauty of România!

Magical tour ! - I indulged in a solo private tour and it was definitely worth it ! Alexandru was a fantastic guide and it felt like I had spent the day with a very knowledgeable friend :) He even brought snacks and water for me for the journey ! It’s important to be in good company, because it is a long day, but well worth the time to visit as the region and the castles are very beautiful. I would strongly recommend taking this tour as opposed to the larger bus tours, as it is a very tight schedule and visiting solo or in a small group with a knowledgeable guide allows you to tailor how long you spend visiting which places.

Great day! - Our tour guide Mircea was amazing and so knowledgeable. He even detoured a little to Busteni to see the filming location of Wednesday because he heard my son talking about it. The tour was great. I’d highly recommend.
