This was the perfect way to explore Romania. Our guide Ovi was extremely nice and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to answer our questions and help us with anything we needed. The Transylvania region was beautiful and we loved exploring the various towns.

N. Gorea (Israel) – July, 2023

This tour company in Romania is unparalleled! We embarked on the unforgettable 3-DAYS EXPLORE TRANSYLVANIA FROM BUCHAREST journey with Alex as our guide. His expertise and flexibility were remarkable. He was not only well-informed but also friendly, humorous, and focused on ensuring customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly endorse this tour company—it exceeded my expectations. Many thanks!

Marius picked us up again and took us north, firstly to the wonderful Peles Castle – really a Germanic royal summer palace. The artwork was staggering. Then onto Bran Castle, the real home of Vlad. This is a real 14th century castle famous for the fictional Dracula story. We went through the beautiful Transylvanian countryside, seeing Vlad Dracula’s birthplace (One really couldn’t avoid him!) High spots were the wonderful, fortified church at Biertan and the lovely city of Sibiu. Marius was a fount of knowledge, covering all the places we saw. He sympathetically and unobtrusively helped my wife when she had difficulties climbing ramps and steps. We have no hesitation in recommending him to any future tourists. Well done and thank you.

We were glad to visit Sibiu last since it still keeps the medieval walls and with “eyes” on the roof top. Our accommodation was good with tasteful breakfasts. Our guide Marius was great. He kept us amused with lots of explanations and stories. We were lucky to have him!
