A wonderful tour for anyone that wants to know more about Transylvania’s history. Florin was a brilliant tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, who was more than happy to answer all of our questions about Romania. Florin also took us to a great lunch spot that made traditional Romanian meals - be careful of the garlic! Delicious but formidable, took a few days for me not to smell like garlic… but it was worth it! I highly recommend this tour.

The trip was extremely interesting and well-organized. Our guide Florin has impressive professional knowledge about the history of Europe, Romania and all places we visited, as well as about architecture, arts… Organization was very smooth, pre-trip communication sufficient and clear. Highly recommended!
