Excellent Tour of Beautiful Transylvania - My son and I had the trip of a lifetime as we celebrated his 16th birthday present in Romania this summer. This tour was everything you want in a tour of a country very different from your own. Our group was small and our guide, Narcis, was a knowledgeable, informative, and thoughtful tour guide who took us to all the best places not mentioned in guidebooks. In a short three days, we learned about Romanian culture and history through visiting museums, monasteries, churches, and medieval villages. The van we toured in was great with large windows to view the gorgeous landscape and the hotels we stayed in were very nice with beautiful breakfasts. I am hopeful that I can send many friends and family on this fabulous tour through Romania.

BEST PART OF ROMANIA - Our guide, Boogie, was informative, entertaining and a good driver. He “made” the trip for us. The three days were through beautiful country side and small towns. In SIBUI we had our best sleep and shower of our entire trip. PELES was the highlight of our tour. It was the most unique of castles we have seen in Europe. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour - First of all I would like to compliment Travelmaker, WOW! what a great company, once you are in their office everyone and everything welcomes you. Indeed they did a good job in organizing our tours and airport pickup. Secondly, Matei Boerescu, our tour guide for the Medieval Tour, he was excellent by all means. He was very punctual, informative and had a great sense of humour. Overall, it was a great experience and would love to do the tour again, however, the next time would be to have more time and spend at least 6 days in this tour. Great Job!

Great Tour - My husband, college aged daughter, & I very much enjoyed our tour of Transylvania. The private tour allowed us to go at our own pace so we never felt rushed. Our tour guide, Serban Riga, was very knowledgeable and really made us feel comfortable and at ease.
