I had a wonderful travel... - I had a wonderful travel experience exploring Romania, with its beautiful countryside and well-organized package. A special thanks to Emanual, our travel guide, who took great care of us over the two days and explained the history of each place in a very engaging way. I would highly recommend this 2-day package to anyone looking to discover Romania.

Fabulous, professional driver/guide - The best way to see Transylvania in a couple of days. Our driver/guide, George, was on time, knowledgeable, courteous and most accommodating. As roads are limited, time is sparse, and in smaller villages in rural Romania not everyone speaks English, this option is the best value for what you can see and experience. George incorporated sites that were important to us, like the bear sanctuary, where big tour buses do not go. With George’s translation and in-depth knowledge of the countryside, we were able to get the most fulfilling experience for the two days that we had in Romania. Highly recommended. Ask for George.

2D/1N Transylvania is a must with Alex - Alex, our tour guide, was wonderful. From speaking excellent English, to being very patient, timely & knowledgable about all our questions on Romania. He was easy going & a safe driver. He gave us ample time in each location. We were quite lucky for a # of reasons: we were the only 2 on the tour, we went in December during the Christmas (market) season & the weather was cold (as expected), but great. No rain. And very few lines anywhere for the castles, etc. We would definitely recommend this tour! Thank you, Alex! Our favorite tour in the 3&1/2 wks traveling in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

Medieval Transylvania at it's best! - We booked the 2 Day Medieval Transylvania Tour with Brasov, Sibiu, and Sighisoara from Bucharest and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide Emanuel was the best. He was knowledgeable, intuitive, and always perfectly timed with every stop. You can tell he truly loves what he does and it made the entire experience feel seamless and full of history. The tour is a small group experience which we loved. Note that the tour needs at least four people. We only had two, so we paid for the extra seats. It ended up turning our trip into a private tour and honestly it was the best case scenario. It was still way more affordable than booking a private tour on its own and absolutely worth it. The itinerary was well paced, the sights were unforgettable, and the journey through Transylvania felt like stepping into a real life medieval story. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Romania. And if you get Emanuel as your guide you are in for something special.

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 !!!

2 day tour - Great to get out the city and see a cross section of Romania. Mountains, medieval towns, castles, and you pass through many rural villages.

Do your research - You need to do alot of background research on the places you are going to yourself. Like we didn't know we had to book tickets to Peles castle in advance ourselves so couldn't enter. We didn't know cars weren't allowed in Sighisoara Citadel area so had to lug luggage around. Our guide was good in terms of trying to sort out other misbooked travellers but it caused a 1 hour delay so we had less time on the first day to do anything but I guess it showed how he wasn't going to leave ppl behind. Alot of communication improvements could have smoothed the whole trip to keep it professional. I am very easy going, so eas still manageable but communication still crucial to keep all clients well updated on timings, recommendations and other key information. We did not get any communication the entire time prior to tour day so was just hoping for the best by showing up 30 mins earlier.

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.
