“Bogdan was a fantastic guide. We went on a Monday so Pelés Castle was closed, which we knew in advance, but we still felt like we got a fantastic bargain for our money. We had lots of time to take photos and never felt rushed. Bogdan was very knowledgeable and friendly. We even got a bonus photo stop at Cantacuzino which was nice. Highly recommend this tour!”

“This was hands on the best tour I had in Romania. Fagarashan National park was gorgeous and Transfagarashan was fascination. It was fabulous to be in such naturally gorgeous surroundings and we saw 9 brown bears! What a treat. Sebastian was the BEST Guide I’ve ever had, and the last unscheduled stop at the castle whose picture is on 1Lei note was a yummy icing on the cake. Nature lovers will LOVE this tour!”
