Had a wonderful Tour with Kockar and Christian! They were very accommodating and courteous. Kockar was extremely knowledgable and gave a wonderful and rich history of every site we visited. Even though there was a lot of time in the car, the conversation was interesting and I learned so much about the rich and storied history of Romania. The food was incredible and weather was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a good feel for Romanian history and see the countryside.

We took the private tour (2 people) and everything was fantastic! Adrian our guide provided a very professional and wonderful experience. Our pick up was on time and we driven in very clean van. The tour provided admission to the two castles with no waiting in lines and guided information along the way from Adrian. We also received a walking tour in Brasov. Snack and food suggestions were also given and did not disappoint. Time was also given to take photos and explore on our own. This is a must do for unforgettable memories!

We had such a wonderful time on this tour! Our tour guide and driver Alin is very knowledgeable and made our experience great! My husband and I went on this private tour at the end of July 2022.
We were able to see Peles Castle, Brasov, and Bran castle at our own pace and with plenty of free time to enjoy shopping and local cuisine. From the beautiful scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains to the beautiful medieval town of Brasov, it was an amazing experience.
We definitely recommended this tour, and this tour company! Very professional and friendly!

We booked this trip through our hotel for approximately 85 euros. We met our guide Adrian at the Hilton in the old town and from the start he was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was 5 of us on the trip and he took the time to answer all our questions and give us plenty of free time when we needed it for photos and the toilet etc. I recommend having breakfast before you go/taking it with you and some water however there are plenty of opportunities for food and drinks. Adrian knows the best places for street food at Dracula’s castle and it was very well priced and so delicious. The trip is approximately 12 hours door to door but very worth it. So glad we saw these beautiful castles and the fabulous old town. 5* service as you get a bottle of water and magnets as a souvenir from the tour with this company. Thank you Adrian.
