Fantastic castle visit with Florin - We had a fantastic tour of both Castle Bran and Castle Pereş along with the Pereş Monasteries with Florin, a true local who is very proud of his country and fluent in multiple languages! Castle Pereş is the best castle interior I have ever seen... Thanks so much, Florin.

Bran and Peles Castle Tour - Very good tour. The guide Florin was wonderful, very cheerful and communicative and full of knowledge of the history of the very impressive castles and of all of the surrounding areas, both of the Castles are impressive, Bran more so for its legend, Peles more for its beauty. The drives to and from the area are filled with stunning scenery, deep forests and impressive mountain peaks. Definitely a tour to recommend in in the Brasov area.

A great day trip from Brasov - Our guide was knowledgeable on all the sites and was very friendly. The pace of the tour was excellent and we had the right amount of free time for lunch and photos. Bran Castle was interesting and Peles Castle was outstanding.

Beyond expectations! - This was the best tour! I was hesitant to book a tour and end up spending my one day in Braşov waiting around for a group to finish touring each stop, but it was scheduled so well with just enough time at each stop with plenty of time to see everything, Florin was so knowledgeable about the history of each place and such a fun guide, and when some stops were closed for renovations …or our group decided to skip the line at one stop, Florin readily added in a few other stops, sights, snacks to make up the time. It totally exceeded my expectations, and I even ended up having so much fun with the other 3 people on the tour and getting to know them so well that we ended up having dinner and drinks later that evening in Braşov! So glad I gave this a try!

Tour Transylvania as a couple - Truly beautiful experience. Florin accompanied us on this day spent among various towns in Transylvania. He explained to us in a truly exhaustive way all the relevant historical moments of their country. Among other things, not being able to visit the Peles Castle inside as it was closed for maintenance, he advised us 2 days before the excursion and accompanied us to other truly characteristic cities.

Castles tour with Florin - This is one of the best tours I have ever done. Is a magnificent tour with one of the best guides ever found. Florin is unique, there is no question that he cannot reply about the tour. Also, he is so talkative and nice person. I can only recommend him as your guide, independently of the chosen tour. Thank you for the experience Florin!
