Castle Tour of Transylvania

Overall, we enjoyed our experience. Unfortunately of the three castles listed on our tour we were only able to see two. Much of our time was invested in seeing other historical sites (which we did not request) as we were more interested in seeing the castles, hence, the name of the tour. Our guide did not take our desires into consideration when planning his tour. He also seem to be oblivious to the weather as our six year old froze most of the tour. On several occasions we literally stood in the rain as our guide gave lengthy explanations over the historical sites while we suffered at the hands of the weather. We believe we missed seeing the third castle, because of poor planning, and organization of our guide. However, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Transylvania. We did appreciate his wealth of knowledge, but would have rather seen more and heard less. We specifically booked a private tour so that we could see the castles listed on the tour as this was our goal as a family.

Super recommended especially by Oliver who has taken us to all places to meet and always explaining very clearly and above all interesting.

My partner and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide Andrei was extremely knowledgable about the sites we visited as well as landmarks along the way and the history of the Romanian people. We went during a heat wave, and we appreciated his patience and enthusiastic energy (especially with how much driving there was!). We loved every landmark, but our favorite was Peles Castle with its extraordinary detail. The views from Bran Castle and the view of the Bucegi Mountains from Castle Cantacuzino were also incredible. (For reference, we went to Castle Cantacuzino instead of Kolnocky Castle because Kolnocky wasn't available on our day.) Highly recommend this tour!

An extremely rich variety of places and buildings to see and experience. Romania is definitely a country to see at reasonable prices. An arrangement that was organized in the absolute best way, thus my best recommendations.

Such an amazing experience! Our tour guide George was absolutely fantastic, very kind, very educated and we will definitely stay in touch with him.

Wow! What an amazing two-day experience! We'd been looking forward to this tour for a couple months, so when an emergency prevented our original guide from taking us, we worried that we'd need to forfeit the trip. But Christian quickly arranged for another guide, and we're so glad he did! We saw so much! We drove through rolling farms, quaint villages and forested mountains while visiting Transylvania's finest fortress cities, churches and castles. We saw Medias, Biertan Cathedroal, Sighisoara, Bran's Castle, Peles Palace, the Black Church in Brasov, and opted to see Sibiu instead of Kalnoky Castle. Adrian was our guide and gave us a thorough history and culture lesson of the Transylvania region and Romania in general. He graciously answered all our questions. He's a walking encyclopedia and very pleasant to travel with. The transportation was comfortable and the accommodations and food were excellent. The rates are very reasonable for all you're able to see, learn and experience. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a an amazing experience visiting Transylvania’s great castles, Bran, Peles and Miclosoara. Thanks for the tour George Turism, best gift ever for my birthday! We will come back for other great tours.
