We were in Bucherest for 3 days and found that we had seen everything we wanted to in the first day, so decided to book this to explore Transylvania. Best decision, the tour was amazing and we got to see so much, although there is a fair bit of driving it is okay as the views are stunning. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and also recommended a lovely restaurant which served traditional Romanian food, which was absolutely delicious and very well priced! 10/10 would recommend.

My daughter and I had Christi for our guide. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I can’t recommend this tour with him enough. I’ve been on tours before where the guide only talks while at the sites. Christi gave us some great history on the way there. He really went above and beyond!
