Great Brasov tour and guide - We had a great tour of Brasov the tour guide (Ovidiu?)was very flexible when we were running late and from the beginning he was engaging and interesting. He gave us a wonderful day where we left with a much better understanding of the roots of Brasov and the surroundings - highly recommended!

Dan Rocks ! - Dan rocks !
I am so happy that I booked this tour with Dan. He is not only knowledgeable but also very friendly. I was hungry when I met him for tour and he adjusted his schedule for my needs; I haven’t seen that in other guides tours I have been to. I can recommend his services to anyone without a doubt. Book him you all !

A good tour for history seeking tourists - Dan was good in explaining about the history of the city, and right from the beginning he told us that he talks too much, and he said that we can stop him talking at anytime but we didn’t, out of politeness. He has great information, but I don’t think tourists want to know all of that. Most tourists just want to know a bit about the history and more of sightseeing really. It’s worth mentioning that the tour was 1.35 min not 2 hours as stated, so we believe that it was not worth 97Euro for this short time, but we wish Dan all the best. Maybe hop on hop off is better and you see much more of the city with less information which you don’t memorise anyway.
