Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Bucharest and board a comfortable, private bus. Set off on a scenic drive towards the stunning Carpathian Mountains.

Alex is a great guide, very attentive, it's very easy to understand the history with him, but at the same time he's very funny and makes everything more entertaining. It's also great because it's interactive. It's more like an entertaining conversation than a class. And the transportation is also very good, very comfortable.

The experience was fun and new. The times are a bit fast but there are many things to do. Mirella She gave us various information and recommended places to eat. For those who come to Bucharest it is an absolute must-do. A leap into the past and in our case immersed in a timeless snowy landscape

Alex was a super Guide and very informative. The castles were interesting and well maintained. We had a great day out - only downside was the awful traffic as it was a Bank Holiday.

We are a group of 6 Erasmus girls, and we had a great time with our guide Alex! He was very attentive at all times and very funny 😊😊

Highly recommended tour! Added value the guides Mirela and Ariana...the best!!!
