Romanian wonderland! - The guide, Bogdan, was so knowledgeable and was able to answer any and every question we had. We saw so many beautiful sights and found out many interesting things. We were exposed to many different scenic parts of the country we might not otherwise have known about. We would 100% book some of the other tours with this guide/company when coming back through this area.

Woow she is an incredible person! She is so kind and she knows a lot about Rumanian history, dates, curious stories... and the most, that she enjoys her job! She is so nice and her company is so kindfull! She is so empathic and a very smart woman. We spent a lovely day with her and it couldn't be better that it was!

The most amazing day!!! - Rasnov fortress was one of my highlights on my trip to Romania. Such a beautiful place, the most amazing view to the carpatians, and with really interesting stories and historical facts on the way to and in the fortress by our great guid, Bogdan. The bear sanctuary was amazing, with a great guid from the sanctuary and such beautiful animals. relletively expensive entrence but a cause woth every price!!! Than there was Bran, a beautiful, small, modest castel. A little crowded, there were many tourists, but luckily we had Bogdan, explaining with patience and passion the realli interesting story of the castle. Defently a great day on every aspect!!!

Excellent In Every Way - I found TDT through trip advisor and was impressed by the reviews and also with the tour guide Bogdan. I was looking for a personal trip and airport transfer and felt it would be good to have one reliable point of contact. I can’t recommend Bogdan and his company highly enough, from timely email responses, through to being prompt for all our arranged pickups. Bogdan was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and importantly as a group of girls travelling, we felt very safe. It is without hesitation that I’d recommend Bogdan to assist you with your Romanian experience. You really don’t need to look anywhere else.
