Great places to visit - Excellent small group trip with a friendly group of people. Matthew was a great guide. The Monestry and Palace were both worth the visit, but please take cash for entry to the Monestry and you will need to pay extra if you wish to take photos inside in both

Good quick day trip from Bucarest - This was a fun little half day trip from Bucharest and the palace was quite fascinating given its architecture and quite nice for photos ! The monastery was okay but the frescos within it were wonderful. The tour operators can also include entries though to both places for the price of the package or charge a bit more to make it more hassle free is a small suggestion but the guide Matthew was very knowledgeable and assured a lot with taking pictures too. Overall definitely worth a trip if your around bucarest

Excellent day - Well-organized tour. History, architecture, museums, art, culture, masterpieces, countryside, sunshine and blue sky. We came back to Bucharest to visit especially these places. Our guide, Serban was a perfect guide. He is helpful, informative, open-minded person. He does his best to feel yourself better and better till the end of the trip. More than perfect experience. We really enjoyed it.

Absolutely fantastic trip. - We had the most fabulous tour with Laura. Her driving was excellent, her knowledge fantastic and just the most delightful lady to spend a few hours with. Laura went over and above to ensure we had a wonderful trip. We can't recommend Laura the company highly enough.

Interesting places - This ended up being a private tour with Serban as our guide. Serban is a very proud Romanian with a wealth of knowledge who along with his humour made this tour very enjoyable. We were lucky to have both places virtually to ourselves. Would highly recommend. Thank you Serban 😊

Out of Bucharest crowdedness - Narcis was an excellent guide. Great knowledge of the places and Romania history. Snagov monastery is great and the welcome team, 4 amazing dogs, is a plus. The time expended it was sufficient. Recommended.

Great guided tour to interesting places. - This tour was a delight since the beginning to end. The weather was nice, The places were interesting, as expected, but our guide Narsis made the experience worthy. He showed a vast knowledge of the country’s history, about art and modern times and explained everything in a very clear way. In a word, professional. Without any doubt we would book another guided by Narsis.
