Great Castle Tour Daytrip from Brasov - My friends and I had a great castle tour with Florin during our stay in Brasov. He was very organized, good at communicating, and an informative guide. We saw Peles Castle, Sinaia Monastery, and Bran Castle without being rushed or lost within a large group. We definitely recommend his tours!

Fantastic day trip to Sighisoara and Viscri - I found Braşov Day trips online and contacted Florin to book a private day trip to Sighisoara and Viscri. He replied promo and was very helpful in making the arrangements. He followed up the day prior to the tour and even a few minutes before picking us up, so we had good confidence in him. During the tour Florin was a wealth of knowledge about the topics I was interested in - the history of the areas we were visiting and of Romania in general. He even had a history book with him to show me. I really enjoyed his passion in describing past people and events. Unlike some guides who will give you a bland response, he shared his opinions and the reasons behind them. It was a great personal experience. Florin was really flexible with the tour and adjusted to suit our preferences. He clearly knows his subjects and is a true professional in guiding people around Braşov. Thanks Florin!

Private tour from Braşov to Sighisoara - Florin was an excellent tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the city and the history. En route he was very enthusiastic to tell us about the local culture and the wildlife. We had a great trip with him and he was so accommodating. It is clear how passionate he is about his country. He answered all our questions and was accommodating to our needs. I will definitely be booking another tour with Florin again in the future!

Bears and Bran Castle with a great guide - Had a great day out, visiting the Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. Communication in arranging the trip was straightforward, via WhatsApp. We had an initial hiccup with the vehicle size, but Florin resolved that very quickly and we still made it to the Bear Sanctuary on time. It was great to see so many beautiful bears, but also sad to hear the stories of how they had been mis-treated before their life at the sanctuary. The restaurant that we had planned to go to for lunch was not responding, so Florin made us a reservation at another place, which was really good. Florin also then helped us to make a dinner reservation in Brasov. Bran Castle was very interesting, although patience was required in navigating narrow passageways. Florin drove very safely and provided great information along the way. Florin was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a day trip from Brasov, then Brasov Day Trips has it covered.

Wonderful 3 castles (Peles, Pelisor, Bran) trip & Sinaia Monastary - Despite the rough snowy weather that day, we had a great time with Florin visiting Peles and Pelisor castles, and since the weather wasn't permitting to go to Cantacuzino castle as planned, Florin suggested to take us to Sinaia Monastery instead. We have arranged online tickets in advance for the first 2 castles, as he suggested, so we had a smooth experience. I can say Florin is a GREAT guide! Very passionate, he knows his history and the history of the places we visited, always eager to explain and tell stories, answer all my questions and go above and beyond my expectations! And I also enjoyed him talking about his great hobby - his garden with 33 different types of tomatoes and various fruit trees and plans, he showed me also the great Christmas decorations he does at home. Very nice, honest person, I'd love to go on another tour with. But the icing of the cake came later that day. My friend I was traveling with was under the impression we'll visit Bran castle too, as she was very eager to see (she's seen Peles before and Sinaia), but the weather wasn't really helping and we normally won't be able to make it there, so I shared this with Florin and he then looked at the time (we managed to get through with the 3 sites by 12:30) and said, you know - let's go to Bran as well, we'll surprise her! Wow, that was so kind and really made my friend's day and brought back her smile and good mood! Luckily the weather got better, and we had a full day of enjoyable experience and chat, which I won't soon forget. Keep up the great work Florin, you're my first choice for coming back to trips in Transilvania and Romania in general! Thank you so much!

Transylvania came to life through our guide, Florin. - My group of 10 friends had an amazing day with Florin as we traveled in our fantastic mini bus to Sighisoara and other highlights in Transylvania. What was so wonderful is that in the 10 hours we were with Florin, everything just evolved in spectacular fashion. Just trust Florin to lead you! He is amazing!!! We were paced at our own liking and never felt rushed. So, we were able to just “soak everything in” in this beautiful country. Florin has a library full of information in his brain and knows how to share it all without making you feel you are in a lecture. I am a travel agent for over 30 years, have visited all 7 continents, and I can say that Florin is one of the best guides I have ever had the privilege of using. You will love him!

Great day visiting Slănic Salt Mine and Perles Castle! - I had a great time with Florin visiting the Slanic Salt Mine and Peles Castle. He was super friendly, easy to talk to, and has a lot of knowledge of Romania. The whole day was fun and relaxed and learned a lot without feeling rushed. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and nothing was too much. Highly recommend Florin if you’re visiting Romania and will be contacting him again when I visit again in the future!

Fantastic experience! - We had an excellent trip to Libearty Bear Sanctuary and the Transfagarasan Road at the end of September. Right from the stage of arranging the trip our contact with Florin was very efficient. On the day of the trip, everything went great - Florin is a friendly and witty guide who ran the whole trip efficiently, is very knowledgeable and showed us the best photo points in the mountains. Despite the surprisingly wintry conditions, everything went off without a hitch. In addition, we also visited the old monastery in Carta for a small fee. Highly recommended!
