Amazing Private Tour of Romania - We arrived in Romania for our honeymoon and after exploring and a good nights sleep, we met Bogdán for our 3-day tour.
He was punctual, easy going, and extremely knowledgeable about a myriad of topics of Romanian and Transylvanian history, culture, politics, and folklore. Especially being able to easily tie in medieval history of the Ottoman vs Hungarian conflicts.
Each site we visited he had knowledge of when it was built (or rebuilt), who funded the initial construction, what influences at the time led to the architectural design, and how the construction had or was an influence on Romanian politics, culture, and history.
Per the wife, “ Bogdan is a great guide!!
Very knowledgeable about Romanian history and politics and city architecture
Very personable
Safe driver
Knows good food spots and traditional foods to try
11/10 would pick him again and recommend him to friends”

Great day out with Bogdan. - We would highly recommend Christina Tours as the service from start to finish was excellent. Our email queries were handled promptly by Dan even before we arrived in Romania.
Our group of five really enjoyed our day out in Transylvania in the company of Bogdan/Boggy. We were picked up promptly and as this trip involves spending several hours on the road, Bogdan kept us all entertained for hours and hours.
He was extremely patient with our never-ending queries about Romania, be it the country's history, about places of interest elsewhere in Romania or about sports etc. He also took us to some great spots during the course of the day to take some photographs.
Due to traffic and long entrance queues, the day proved to be much longer than expected but we were never rushed through any of the sites. Bogdan also seems to have friends in high places as we managed to jump the queue at Bran Castle - which was such a welcome surprise as it meant we could escape the 38 degrees Celsius furnace much quicker than expected.
Our long day out also meant we were very, very late for our dinner booking in Bucharest but Bogdan kept calling the restaurant to ensure they kept a table for us.
Bogdan also gave some great tips/recommendations on what to see, do & eat during the rest of our stay in Romania. He really is a fantastic guide. Despite this being a private tour, it was great value and we also had the advantage of doing everything at our own pace.

Bogdan nailed this tour for us - You'll spend a lot of time on the road on this day tour from Bucharest and so the driver is really important. We were very lucky to have Bogdan as our driver and guide. He kept us entertained throughout with great historical knowledge and enthusiasm for the area. Peles Palace is spectacular with its opulence and Bran Castle is quite the spectacle too. Brasov was lovely, particularly getting to have a drink with Bodgan. Highly recommend the tour, Bogdan in particular.

Visit to Peles Castle and Bran Castle - We had a great day doing the Dracula Tour with Florin. Florin was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant relaxed guide. Four of us travelled in a private car first to the Monastery at Sinaia, then to Peles Castle and Bran Castle and finally had lunch at the lovely town of Brasov. Florin was always very happy to stop off for coffee breaks whenever we wanted. I highly recommend Florin and this tour - we were only in Bucharest for 4 nights but this tour meant we saw a lot more of Romania and its beautiful countryside. It is a long day but well worth it.

Great tour & Great Guide! - Dan picked us up promptly at the pre-scheduled time. The car was clean and comfortable. He really was a safe driver (the drivers in Bucharest can drive crazy). The ride to the 1st stop was about 2 1/2 hours. He offered to stop if we needed anything. He was very informative about all of the locations and answered all of our questions. Was very professional. He does have a tour guide certification from the government. We stopped for a early dinner at one of the stops. We told him what we wanted to eat so he recommended a place. We invited him to eat with us because he was so friendly and was full of information the he loved to share. I really felt that any request we could come up with, he would bend over backwards to help. The tour locations were unbelievably beautiful and full of history. Definitely a bucket list trip. Everybody offers tours to these locations, but I will recommend this tour operator because of the safety, knowledge, professionalism, certification and attention to detail. Thanks Dan. You made ur stay in Bucharest an absolute pleasure !!

Excellent Service, great tour - Dan met us in the lobby of our hotel exactly on the agreed upon time. He was a very safe and efficient driver. Once we arrived at the first stop he began telling about the location expertly. He could answer every question with ease. He, throughout the trip made sure we were comfortable and offered many comfort stops if needed. He showed us a great local place to eat. He was so friendly that we invited him to eat with us. He spoke English very well as well as Romanian. I highly recommend them and their hotel also. (Christina Hotel).
