(This was not a private trip but a coach with group of 30 people). Fantastic day trip from Bucharest. Great way to see the beautiful countryside and we got to see it all in the snow - magical! Tudor was a great tour guide, funny and lots of great facts even while we were on the coach. Peles castle is a must see. Some small hills and steep stairs in the castles. It’s a long day 7am - 8pm but well worth it. Bring snacks and have a coffee/tea before you go. No toilet on the coach but lots of loo breaks.

My 23 years old daughter and I enjoyed the tour Very very much. George from "trip2Ro" was very helpful and friendly. Very good driver and gave us too many information about the castles and the country. We recommend him. Thank you George.

It was a great tour .Our tour guide Paul was so informative and entertaining. Loved the personalized tour that met our needs. Paul was an excellent driver through the mountains. So glad we decided on the tour instead of driving our self.

The tour is generally very exciting, visiting places of high interest. Our guide, Paul, was friendly, well informed and he answered all of our questions. The trip was right on schedule, and we had enough time alone wandering in the sight-seeings. It was a great, interesting, very well programmed tour by our guide!!!

La gita è stata molto bella. George, la nostra guida, gentile e simpatico, è stato ottimo. Le sue spiegazioni sempre esaustive e aveva sempre la parola giusta nel momento giusto. Da rifare

Un'esperienza da fare per conoscere veramente la Romania come non te l'hanno mai fatta vedere, grazie alla guida Vlad e alla sua preparazione e simpatia.

Una piacevole sorpresa! La nostra guida Vlad, è venuta a prenderci praticamente sotto casa assieme all'autista Florin. Nel viaggio per andare verso la prima tappa, il castello di peles, abbiamo attraversato tante realtà e grazie alla professionalità e precisione di Vlad, ci siamo appassionati ad esse! Il primo castello, a mio parere il più bello, è stato davvero una piacevole sorpresa! Veramente incantevole come i racconti di Vlad sui nobili che ci vivevano. La seconda tappa, il castello di Bran, non lo abbiamo visitato per nostra scelta, ma devo dire che la cittadina ci ha stupito lo stesso con le sue peculiarità culinarie (ovviamente suggeriteci da Vlad). L'ultima tappa, la città di Brasov, ci è piaciuta molto, e ci è stato lasciato del tempo per girarcela liberamente a piedi. Che dire.. Consiglio vivamente questa gita, la Transilvania è un posto ricco di bellezze incontaminate, e con una guida del genere, che ci ha appassionati tutto il giorno con i suoi racconti, è stato ancora più piacevole. Grazie Vlad! Marysol e Michele
