“We arrived at the meeting point a few minutes early, exactly as stated on the ticket (07:00). However, the company quietly changed the departure time to 06:50 in an email, written in very small print and without any clear notice. By 07:00, no one was there, and other participants also seemed to miss this change. When selling extra services, the company reached out quickly and directly (even via WhatsApp). But for something critical—like a change in time or meeting location—they failed to communicate properly. This shows poor reliability and lack of transparency. Very disappointing experience.”

“Fantastic tour guide Serban. High spirits and good conversation from start to finish which is not easy - he was funny and intelligent. The tour itself is insightful and we got incredibly lucky to have a lot of snow but I can imagine it would be beautiful none the less. Bonus point I left my valuables in the car at the end of the tour and he kindly drove back to drop them off after I insisted I’d pick them up”

“Nicolas was a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable about the area and was very helpful, answering any questions we had. Johnny was a great driver and I felt safe the whole time, even on some of the winding mountain roads. Nicolas did offer motion sickness pills in case that's something that bothers you. I traveled solo and was lucky to be with a great group of about 20 people on a comfy mini bus. Yes, we saw lots of bears on the road from the bus! I stopped counting at 12, some we couldn't stop safely to look at but it's ok. The lunch break at Hotel Capra was…”

“We had an amazing day on this tour, and a huge part of that was our guide, Alin. He was absolutely fantastic and really made the whole experience. His knowledge of Romania was incredible, and he was able to answer every question we threw at him with ease. The itinerary was perfect — we visited Peleș Castle, Bran Castle, and Brașov — and Alin helped us at every stage, from giving great local tips to helping with tickets so everything ran smoothly. He was also very flexible with timings, which made the day feel relaxed rather than rushed. The car was comfortable, and after such a full day I ended…”
