“It was good value for money. Unfortunately we were only informed by the guide in the day itself that the fortress is closed for renovation the last 4 years. It would have been nice if the company post some warnings when booking so we have a choice whether to proceed with the booking or not”
Review of a private day trip from Timisoara to Sarmizegetusa, Densus, Corvin Castle, and Deva Fortress with a local guide.
“This was a wonderful day trip following the advertised itinerary. Sergiu reached out to me prior to the outing to make sure everything was coordinated. While Corvin Castle was the highlight of the trip (and certainly worth the drive), the other stops were fantastic as well. Sergiu was fun to travel with and knowledgeable about the sites. I would highly recommend this tour if you find yourself in Timisoara.”
Review of the 14-hour Bucharest to Sibiu tour, with Cozia Monastery, Olt Valley, Sibiel, pricing, transport, guides, and practical advice.
“I had such a great private trip to Sibiu with guide Tudor and driver Marius. As I was solo, Tudor and Marius were really great company on the long drive- a lot of really great information and discussion- they made it fun! Olt River Valley, the Carpathian Mountains, and Sibiu are beautiful and well worth the visit. Marius even recommended a quick detour to a fairytale looking church- very picturesque! They both went above and beyond (even to check in with me the following day and give me recommendations on my next stop on my trip). You can’t go wrong with this tour or these lovely guides.”
