Wonderful wonderful wonderful!!!! - Bogdan was just wonderful! Our private day trip was worth every single penny he was so knowledgeable, patient, kind ,and very genuine. You can tell that he truly has a passion for what he does. I was traveling with my aunt who due to medical reasons is unable to move around as fluidly as she would like. Bogdan was incredibly respectful, and just went out of his way to make sure that we both felt so comfortable, at one point it started to rain and he quickly provided umbrellas, took our parcels from us and dashed to the car, bringing it to a different meeting spot to help us to stay dry! I would highly recommend him and look forward to the possible opportunity of taking another tour with him in the future.

6 stars! - We had a great day with Octavian. He was polite, friendly and had interesting facts about Romania and its history. He had good tips for us along the way and nothing was any trouble. Peles Castle is beautiful inside, so many different styles. Bran Castle is the classic and Brasov was very picturesque. Thank you Octavian for a wonderful tour.

Magical experience - We had a wonderful trip with Octavian as our guide. We felt in such safe hands. He got us safely to our destination- incredible driving skills as he had to navigate through ice and snow. Totally worth it though as the scenery was out of this world amazing. Octavian was very knowledgeable on the history of the castle and answered all of our questions. I cannot rate this tour company highly enough! Five stars!

Well worth the full day out - We had a great day out with Octavian. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and has an obvious passion for the history of Romania. He looked after us all day, even through some absolutely terrible traffic due to crashes on the route. The car was comfortable and Octavian provided water bottles throughout. Seles Palace was very nice, and Octavian took us around the grounds as the interior was closed. Bran Castle was great to look around and Bran itself was a busy tourist village.

A day trip to Transylvania - Our driver and guide, Octavian, was absolutely fantastic! We had a great day discovering Peles Castle and Bran's "Dracula's" Castle. What is noteworthy is Octavian's vast historical knowledge of Romania. All our questions were answered, and we really enjoyed our discussions with him. The enhanced "skip the line" tickets are recommended for Bran's castle, as it was very crowded. It eliminates the wait time and includes visiting the torture chamber and an elevator ride down to the ground level. Highly recommend booking with Octavian!
