“The tour was lovely, well organised and executed. We saw three of the most beautiful cities in Europe, learned so much about the history of the country, and travelled through gorgeous landscapes. Our guide Nicosur was very knowledgeable, looked after us very well, and was an excellent and safe driver. There were only 4 of us on the tour, and we really enjoyed the company of the other couple.

George was most professional the entire two days. We wish we had more time to explore beautiful Romania. I highly recommend this service.”

When we reached Sibiu, Sighisoara, Brasov, Bran and Sinaia our guide knew where to park to minimize walking. The 2 of us plus our guide were in a 5 person van. I loved the Transfagarasan Road. I've never been on a road with 10 avalanche sheds before. If you have any motion sickness or fear of height you might want to ask for an alternative route. They use various hotels in Sighisoara. You should check your big suitcase in your Bucharest hotel and…”
