“Unique experience in the Carpathian Mountains - Booked this trip after our trip to Pele’s castle was cancelled. Vlad was amazing from the off kept in constant communication throughout. Once on the tour, the amount of History that Vlad knows is amazing, from Ghengis Khan to Attila the Hun, Vlad the Impaler and much more, highly recommended if you wish to explore the real Romania.” (Reviewed at: 2024-11-04)

Thrills and Tranquility: The Dual Nature of Sinaia

As the afternoon sun casts long shadows across the mountains, the ATV Buggy Adventure beckons. Available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, this tour promises an adrenaline rush amidst the serene beauty of the Carpathians. Feel the wind in your hair as you navigate rugged trails, each turn revealing a new vista more breathtaking than the last. The thrill of the ride is matched only by the awe-inspiring views of Bran Castle, famously known as Dracula’s Castle, and the majestic Peles Castle.

“Absolute Blast - Tour with ATVs was the best experience. The ATVs are fast and not sluggish at all. Easily went 70 kmh on the roads and kept a good pace in the mountains to keep up with the guide. Vlad was my driver and we spoke about the history of Romania starting from ancient history all the way to modern day. As an American myself, Vlad’s English was perfect and he has a great sense of humor. Very reasonable and funny. He gave me a great tour of Bucharest and also recommended a locals restaurant for lunch which was fantastic. I was very pleased with Vlad and his friend with the tour and the hospitality and I will return someday with a friend to enjoy the tour again. I cannot recommend this tour/company enough. They are simply the best.” (Reviewed at: 2023-09-21)
