One of the best Tours and Guides ever! - My husband and I spent two awesome days with Sergiu our guide. He was excellent, engaging, most knowledgeable and professional. His driving skills were impeccable. We were both impressed by his command of the English language and his comprehension. Everything about this tour was perfect from Sergiu’s knowledge, the impressive castles, fortified cities we saw to the town/hotel in which we overnighted. This is most definitely one of the two best tours we have ever taken and Sergiu is in the top 5% of guides we have ever used and we are frequent travelers. We whole heartedly recommend Sergiu, this company and this tour.

So Worth It - Wow what a great tour! We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We were with Marius who knew so much historical information and was kind and funny and a very confident driver. Obviously Pele’s Castle and Bran Castle were highlights but we really enjoyed driving through the countryside to see the gorgeous greenery, the quaint towns, to talk to locals, and to relive so much history. We had an amazing time and the hotel was very comfortable too.

Perfect 2 days in Transylvania - This was our first visit to Romania and had wanted to spend more time in Transylvania rather than Bucharest to see some more of the history and culture of the country. We resisted the temptation of a long one day tour and booked this tour instead as we felt it would give us a better perspective (the tour company also does a 3 day tour which may be better if you have the time). We booked directly with the company and paid in advance. We received good communication prior to the trip both from the owner and our tour guide. We met Emanuel with his burgundy minibus outside the Hilton Garden Inn in the Old Town and within a few minutes we could tell that we would enjoy his company and knowledge. We were the only people on this particular tour so this gave us good access to Emanuel and gave us a little more flexibility on timings when we had some bad luck with heavy rain! We visited some great towns, palaces and churches over 2 full days and learnt so much. Highlights for me were the beautiful Peles Palace and the central areas of Brasov and Sibiu although everywhere was great. Emanuel gave us some good recommendations for lunch on both days and we enjoyed staying at the hotel in Sighisoara. Despite taking a more leisurely 2 days for the tour it is still 2 long days as you get back to Bucharest at 7pm (or later if you don’t have good luck with the traffic). Overall throughly recommended and Emanuel deserves a medal for 2 days of driving and commentary!

Stories and breathtaking towns along Transylvania - Amazing and entertaining experience with a devoted tour guide. Two days seemed very little for covering such a big distance. However, the trip is very well organised and the guide is ready to tell you all the details about each town

Avoid at all cost! - Sadly we did not made it to the tour because is been cancelled by the tour operator without permission. After I asked some normal questions such as rooms arrangements and pick up point I literally being insulted aggressively by the incredibly unprofessional 'customer service' person. They cancelled the tour after I specifically said NOT TO and that they simply dont care. I never in my life being treated in a such rude manner, I felt upset and outraged, so much so that One excellence tour company continued to insulting me via my private email and this is not being reported to the police as harassment. Avoid those criminals at all cost!
