  My wife and I elected to take this tour for our honeymoon immediately after our wedding - going in, we didn’t really have much in terms of expectations other than to experience a new country together, experience a new culture and learn as much as we could. We were absolutely blown away - going up into Transylvania with our tour guide was an experience we will never forget - the museums, castles and monasteries were breathtaking as was the entire countryside. The guest houses we stayed in wanted nothing more than for us to enjoy our stay, the cooking was phenomenal and we got a true taste and appreciation for the culture. Our guide truly went above and beyond, we couldn’t have been any happier with our experience and my wife and I will be talking about our evening in Sighişoara likely for the rest of our lives!

  We have completed the seven day tour of Transylvania Muramures and Bucovina Our driver Alena was remarkable, very knowledgeable, a fabulous driver, bearing in mind all the mountains we had to go over. All the places we stayed at were first rate we had asked for a twin bedded room with ensuite and that’s what we had. In the guest house is the food was really lovely and traditional, and in Brasov, the owner of the guesthouse where we were staying, directed us to a very good restaurant about 100 m away. We went to the bakery nearby for breakfast as the breakfast at Casa Timar was not up to the standard of all the other places we stayed. Bogdan, who is the owner of Transylvania discovery tours put together a fantastic tool and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Transylvania and Romania.

  The whole tour was put together absolutely brilliantly, and we were lucky to have an extremely good guide, who is also a very good driver and exceptionally good company

  Romania is a beautiful country, but our trip wasn't as great as we’d hoped. For starters, the car we were in was not very comfortable for long drives. The guide, although nice, didn't appear very knowledgeable about the details of the itinerary (the itinerary sent to his phone via text/WhatsApp was very limited in the information compared to what we were provided), nor did he provide correct information about some of the questions asked or provided quick responses but nothing in-depth. There were items discussed/listed in our itinerary (posted about the tour on the website) but we didn't do them, which sometimes left us with a lot of time at the end of the day (and we were staying in a small village and had nothing to do). Also, we asked not to be photographed, repeatedly, but he still took pictures of us and offered no proof that they were deleted (although asked and reminded to delete them- responding, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”). We were often brought to touristy places to eat because that was what was open due to the time of day, which was not what we wanted and could've been avoided if the lunch stops had been planned. As far as accommodations, the owners/operators of the pensiones/guest houses were very kind and the food was delicious; however, there were a couple places that had inadequate showers (little to no water coming out of the showerhead due to buildup), not all had toiletries available (I think that is something that should be mentioned for travelers to bring), and almost all had stairs- which future travelers may need to be made aware of. Lastly, there were a couple of places that were closed: 1- the Black Church in Brasov which was a surprise and that information was not available online; 2- the Peles Castle was closed and it was stated on their website that they would be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (we were there on a Tuesday). We had been told, repeatedly, by our guide by how amazing this castle was and that we were going to be very impressed by it and yet, it was closed. It is shocking that we would be taken there on a day when it was known ahead of time to be closed. Our tour guide was not aware it was closed on Tuesdays and tried to make excuses for it by stating “It must be closed in the winter months on Tuesdays,” and “Didn’t you know it was going to be closed? Didn’t it tell you somewhere about this? “ It seems that a tour with better organization would make sure that we arrived there when it was open, such as going there first instead of visiting it last, doing the whole trip in reverse so that we could get all the experiences we were “sold”.
