Great tour! - Great tour to the bear sanctuary and Bran Castle. My guide, Florin, shared his extensive knowledge of Romanian history and had no problem waiting while I did the touristy thing at the castle. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely reliable and kind tour guide with genuine hospitality and advice - Florin was absolutely the best guide we've had during our honeymoon trip to Europe. He patiently picked us from the Airport and brought us around Brasov for a few days. Absolutely accommodating and he also knew where all the places are, be it the tourist destination or recommendations off the beaten tracks.
It's his kind personality that makes it all comfortable to tour with him! Highly recommended!
When he discovered we wanted to try out some local cheese, he even offered to give us some of the chives and plants that he grew at home just to make the experience more personal and authentic.
We will never forget him and I'm sure you would absolutely be making the right choice in engaging Florin.

The true gems of the tour were the churches - Even though the tour included the touristic favourites Rasnov Fortress and Bran Castle, the true gem of this tour are the fortified churches. Those are required to be unlocked by their caretakers, and were both truly stunning.

Brand and fortified churches - VERY AMIABLE AND KNOWLEDGABLE GUIDE. He began with a short conversation about Romanian geography and history. Then we were off. You should have some lei (local currency) for church admissions, and you will save considerable time if you buy the Bran tickets in advance. Allow most of a day for this. Truly delightful and informative.

Excellent tour guide !!! well recommended !! - Florin is the absolute best ! he picked us up at the airport and gave us a 4 day tour of Transylvania, showing us MUCH more than we had bargained for !! hidden remote villages where life has been the same for centuries, this was the true beauty of this tour. Florin is extremely knowledgeable and a super safe driver, I highly recommend his services for a very thorough tour of Romania and Transylvania !!

Wonderful Time in Brasov - I went on the Fortified Churches, Bran Castle, Rasnov Fortress and Poiana Brasov Resort Tour with Florin and had a great time. First of all, Florin is very accommodating and he was willing to tailor the tour to best fit my needs. At one point I saw an interesting church that wasn't part of the tour, and he even stopped and gave me a tour of that! Secondly, the tour had a nice, leisurely pace and it never felt rushed or unmanageable. I had more than enough time to walk around, take pictures and ask questions.
Florin offers great tours at reasonable prices. I hope to visit Brasov again in the future and I am glad I now know a good tour guide in the region.

The sights included in the tour are... - <p>The sights included in the tour are quite diverse (the fortified churches are very quiet, whereas Bran castle is quite popular) and the guide, Florin, knows a lot about them. The views from Rasnov fortress and and a viewpoint close to Poiana Brasov are impressive. I really enjoyed the tour.</p>

Romanians visit Romania - We went on a tour with Florin just before New Years and he was very surprised that we were romanian, as most of the people he is touring with are foreigners.
Although I know a lot of things about my country, Florin let us know about the specific german side of Transylvania.
A lot of precious information and I will surely use it in the future.
The tour is also well thought due to it including various objectives from different types of buildings which are relevant to this area's historic complexion.
Thank you very much for your guiding and a happy new year, Florin!
