A wonderful day spent visiting such beauty and history. A great opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Stefan was our guide for the day and he was great. Very informative and personable. We couldn’t have had a better guide. It is a long day, but somehow the time seemed to fly by. There are ample opportunities to use the restroom and get a drink. You may want to have small amt of RON, some places required small amt to use bathroom. Also, weather can be unpredictable, have a poncho, jacket or umbrella. Wear comfortable shoes. Enjoy the day in this beautiful country, ask questions and take pictures. My husband and I are so glad we spent the day with this group.
He was awesome very knowledgeable about his country would recommend him to any one that is going.
Stefan was fantastic and enjoyed his job which helps make everyone’s experience that much more enjoyable. He is a wealth of knowledge and just joy to be around.
Very good setup and guide can warmly recommend this excursion
Lovely trip with Stefan as a briljant guide with lots if knowledge.
Stephan was very cordial and very knowledgeable about the history of Romania. He recommended what to eat.
It was a wonderful tour with an amazing guide who basically talked to us for 14 hours. The towns were facinating and the castle was beautiful. Nice to get into a castle finally. The countryside was stunning. Well worth being tired at the end of the day.
Our guide Stephan was extremly dedicated. Nice small group and interesting talks. I Can really rekommandasjon the trip! Ulrika Magdalena Lind
Stefan, our guide AND driver, was tireless and very well humoured. He dedicated his full day to us. And we much appreciated! :)
Had a wonderful time. Felt bad for our driver (Andrei) who had to deal with late night fog. Appreciated his willingness to share important knowledge with passion, about the experience.
