“What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly…”

“Guide was a substitute for our scheduled guide, but he was excellent. Clear and concise descriptions of sites, the history, and fun facts. Knowledgeable about building interiors as well as the outside architecture. Answered questions fully and to the point. Listened well to our interests and observations. Did not talk down to us like children, but treated us like adults who did our own research. Found shade and places to sit, and avoided large tour groups.”

Two days in Transylvania from Bucharest with Peles Castle, Brasov, UNESCO Sighisoara, and Bran Castle, small group minivan tour.

“A good experience getting out of of Bucharest for a few days. Our guide Matthew did a nice job guiding and driving our small group around. He has a great attitude, is very knowledgeable he's well-educated and certified as a guide, and enthusiastic about showing others this unique part of the world. I would say that while Brasov and Sighisoara are nice, picturesque places, there wasn't much going on in either town aside from one or two unique historical sites. Dracula's home, while historic, is a pretty cheesy tourist trap. Bran castle, on the other hand, was interesting and the highlight of the trip. Peles castle more of a palace…”

The best part was the conversations wr had on the long drives since Valentin is well aware of the world in general i.e. geo politics, world history, current affairs, culture, etc., which made our trip so much better. Highly recommended.”

“It was a wonderful tour with Dan, a knowledgeable, passionate, attentive, and kind guide. Since, fortunately, we were the only ones on this tour, we had the opportunity to see the two fortresses and Sighisoara in complete tranquility, but also to enjoy two wonderful unscheduled visits! Dan is also an excellent opera connoisseur and an excellent singer. We had a great time with him and were so moved when we said goodbye! A highly recommended tour, worth every penny!

“Aurelian is a knowledgeable yet laid-back, humorous guide. He gave us insight into the history of the area but also really went the extra mile in showing us some extra sights. He is also a safe driver :) It was such a memorable and lovely day, partly due to our luck in being paired with Aurelian. As for Sighisoara and Biertan themselves, it was absolutely inspiring. It felt like going back in time, truly a fairy tale experience. Worth it!”
