Legend Brought to Life - The morning with Sebastian was great. He was well versed on the history an legend relating to Vlad the Impaler and the other sites we visited. While different, Chitila was a great.

Out of Bucharest ~ A day well spent - Taking in the very old (an accurate story of Count Vlad) , old history (via a palace) and the recent past (late 1800s). It gives a good view of Romania's history. A good snap shot of history plus the view of the outer suburbs. Our guide had an extensive knowledge and made the trip both educational and enjoyable.

Serban was a great guide - The tour was interesting and was made especially great by the guide, Serban Riga. He made sure we were very comfortable and enjoying our time. He was able to tell us a lot about the sights we visited and graciously answered all the questions we asked him about Romania in general. He has a great sense of humor too.

Beautiful and interesting - Beautiful cathedral on an island in a small village. The people who run it are very nice. It is an actual church so be respectful! It is pretty far from old town Bucharest. I arranged a tour to go here, which I recommend. If you’re here for Dracula sites you will want to see it.

Fun Trip to Historical Sites - We learned so much great Romanian historical and cultural information. Snagov Monastery was very cool. Surprised on how well preserved the monastery was, especially with the art on the walls. And being right there on the lake was so peaceful. Mogosoaia Palace was pretty impressive. I think they did such a good job reconstructing the facility. Fort Chitila was an interesting add on as the fort ruins are located next to a scrapyard, overgrown with vegetation, lots of trash and graffiti. Tempering expectations is a must. That being said it was the most unforgettable part of the tour.

Great Historical Tour - Valerica was our guide for a this historical site tour. We learned so much great Romanian historical and cultural information. Snagov Monastery was very cool. Surprised on how well preserved the monastery was, especially with the art on the walls. And being right there on the lake was so peaceful. Mogosoaia Palace was pretty impressive. I think they did such a good job reconstructing the facility. We were also impressed that he was able to get us to the third spot, even though it was not conveyed to him in the itinerary, which was the Fort Chitila. This was an interesting add on as the fort ruins are located next to a scrapyard, overgrown with vegetation, lots of trash and graffiti. Tempering expectations is a must. That being said it was the most unforgettable part of the tour.
