Five Star Tour with best Guide Alex ! - Let me start by saying the sites were all amazing! But what made the castles, the towns, the museums come to life was our awesome guide Alex !!! He was fantastic in every way, very knowledgeable and skilled , fully engaged and helpful. Every question we throw at him, no problem. He is able to provide context and insight... how lucky we are to have him for two days. By far in all our years of travel and touring, he is the BEST !!!

Best whirlwind tour - It’s a lot of time spent in the car (and traffic), but it’s worth it for the sights. Sighisoara and Pele’s Castle are the standouts. Bran’s castle is very overrated and a bit of a tourist trap. If given the opportunity by your guide as we were, spend the extra time at Pele’s area and less in Bran.

Perfect both program, guide and implementation - The guide Emanuel was very good. Arranged for us to switch days 1->day 2 so we could see Pele's castle that we otherwise missed. He was also very knowledgeable, committed, caring and gave clear instructions on departure times and meeting places. Well balanced with stop times at the different locations.

Great guide that brightened the tour in the very best way. Recommended. - Very good guide/driver Emanuel. Clear instructions on times and meeting places. Responsive and caring to the group. Very knowledgeable about his country's history and other information. Redirected our trip so that we could see Pele's castle when it was open, absolutely crucial to the trip's overall experience. Drove safely and securely. Well balanced tour regarding stopping times at the different places we visited, cozy with overnight stay in Sighisoara.

A blast from the past - interesting tour through castles and medieval towns. Alex was a great driver and guide. We were struck by his memory of historical dates. I can't give a 10 rating, because we found some obvious inconsistencies, regarding tickets to the castles. For Bran Castle there were no problems, because there are automatic machines, very convenient. While regarding Sinaia Castle in Peles, we found the cost given by the tour not corresponding to reality. They asked us 35€ each. Online adult rates are 100 Ron (20€), Senior rate 50 Ron (10€). For us who are Seniors, they charged us 35€ per person! At the beginning of the car tour we were told a price of 30 € per person, then once we arrived in Bucharest we were charged € 70 in two. After 4 hours of travelling back from Sighisoara to Bucharest, we didn't feel like arguing. But we understood that the speech of the tickets is a 'smoke in the eye'. In fact, there were people traveling on the same shuttle, who had already bought tickets online. Tip: If you don't want to pay more than the real price, book your tickets online, cheaper and with priority access.

Beware: shady tour operator - Book with this company at your own risk! I booked the two 2 day tour over 2 months ago and paid in full at the time. As the overnight accommodation in Sighisoara is not included, a non- refundable hotel booking was made. I attempted on 3 occasions to communicate with the tour operator regarding timings of the itinerary, so I could book castle tickets in advance and avoid queues on the day — not a single reply. 12 hours before the tour was to begin I received notification that One Excellence cancelled the tour no reason; no communication directly from the tour operator.— just a message from Viator When requesting the operator cover the expense of the accommodation, they only reply that that they are unable to communicate directly with me because it was booked through Viator. Viator states my only recourse is either the tour operator. So no one taking any accountability.

both viator and one excellence are unexcellent to the extreme!!!! - one excellence kicked off a sweet spanish couple from the 2 day transylvania tour because they complained about something trivial.... i defended them and told the tour operator he couldnt just leave them stranded after the first stop in saanai....so one excellence dumped me as well.....neither viator nor one excellenxe wants to refund me even though get your tour got one excellence to refund the spanish couple fully.... viator is a horrible irresponsible company.....they get your money for tours but then dont make sure you get the tour and that the tour company fulfills their requirements..... the one excelkence owner is a foul mouthed disrespectful unethical romanian thief!!!!! dont book with viator and make sure you dont tour with one excellence.... i later found out they dumped a couple with two children because they were crying!!!!!
