We did the 3 day tour with Sergiu to Transylvania. It was an excellent tour. There was a lot of driving but it was so much more restful to stay over 2 nights. The Casa Luxembourg Hotel in Sibiu was perfect. Sergiu was a terrific driver and guide and we enjoyed his company. He took no risks and was so knowledgeable on all the sites we visited. We liked that he gave us the basic history and then expanded on that if we wanted him to. We highly recommend this tour and Sergiu. Doug & Marg Sept 2024

Bogdan was an excellent guide! Super knowledgeable and very flexible with last minute adjustments we had to make. Cannot recommend this tour and the company enough!

WOW! Where to begin?! We have been to many countries and on many tours and this BY FAR was one of the most AMAZING experiences. We had a spectacular time with our guide, Alex, during our 3 day exploration of Transylvania! As for Alex - his knowledge, his personality, his driving skills, and his overall love of Romania - MADE us look forward to every day! The worst part of the trip was saying good bye to our new friend.... We were in Romania for three weeks and our best three days were with Alex. Multumesc!!
