Reviews
I was happy to book this 2 day trip, to visit further more in the Transylvania region. My driver/guide was Emanuel and was great. Thank you.
I highly recommend this tour. There were only 2 of us so we were lucky as it was a private tour and Bogdan, our guide was superb. He looked after us well, knew how to skip the queues to enter places and adapted the tour route to take account of the traffic conditions. He certainly knew all the information needed, was a great guide. We really enjoyed our tour with him and I'm a tour guide in England too so can be critical I loved Sibiu, Sighosoara , Brasov and Peles palace. Bran Castle less so due to the crowds but it has to be done! Transylvania and Romania are so beautiful. seeing the bears was a highlight but I am not sure this route is usually on the schedule. The transport in the van was of a very high standard of comfort. Don't miss this tour! It's very reasonably priced too.
