Dan worked around this and even spent extra time with us to ensure we had done all the items on the list. Dan was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions too. Great guide and great organisation!”

“Nicholas is such a fun, personable, smart and knowledgeable tour guide. He hosted a private tour for me and my cousin, showing us Bran’s Castle, Peles Castle, and Brasov. We enjoyed a great meal with him where he introduced us to local cuisine. He was funny and entertaining, making our education of Romanian history very enjoyable. I will now always remember that Carol I ruled for exactly 48 years… not 50, not 60. If you’re coming to Romania, I would highly recommend Nicholas. Best tour guide ever!”
