Lovely trip with Stefan as a briljant guide with lots if knowledge.
Stephan was very cordial and very knowledgeable about the history of Romania. He recommended what to eat.
It was a wonderful tour with an amazing guide who basically talked to us for 14 hours. The towns were facinating and the castle was beautiful. Nice to get into a castle finally. The countryside was stunning. Well worth being tired at the end of the day.
Our guide Stephan was extremly dedicated. Nice small group and interesting talks. I Can really rekommandasjon the trip! Ulrika Magdalena Lind
Stefan, our guide AND driver, was tireless and very well humoured. He dedicated his full day to us. And we much appreciated! :)
Had a wonderful time. Felt bad for our driver (Andrei) who had to deal with late night fog. Appreciated his willingness to share important knowledge with passion, about the experience.
Great day wirh guide and driver Stefan. We recomanded this trip to all. Guide Stefan was peifesional driver and guide with a lot of information. Thanks
Myself and my friend who went on this tour can't recommend it highly enough. From the friendly and efficient communication before the tour started and right throughout, everything was excellent. We would like to give a special shout out to our guide Stefan who made an already excellent day out even better. Was extremely friendly and also very knowledgeable about Cluj, it's history and also all places we visited. We even decided to try some traditional dishes on his recommendation, which were very much enjoyed. If you're ever in Cluj, this tour should be at the top of your to do list.
Recommended trip for those going solo or with friends. Stefan was excellent throughout the whole journey. Both places are very beautiful and unique. Definitely worth a visit!
this is the ugliest castle i have ever seen there is nothing realkybinside except o maze of small claustrophobic rooms i would not recommend spending your money or stand in line to see this monsteosity
