About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 59steliani0 contributionsAmazing views. I highly recommend this tour company.We had a great time during this trip. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went with car until Balea Waterfall, but unfortunately cable car was closed due to severe wind. Since we couldn‘t take cable car to Balea Lake, guide offered us an alternative trip and on top of Carta Monastery, we visited also Sighișoara Fortress and Viscri village.Written 5 January 2025
- lucyhI6881JA0 contributionsBest private guide everOur family visited Romania for 6 days before Christmas and Traian was AMAZING. He met us in Bucharest at the airport on the first day and drove us to our hotel in Priona Braşov. Then, he picked us up at the hotel for our castle day. He was knowledgeable, patient with our kids (all 10 and under—even had a car seat for our little one!), and seemed to know everyone and everything. His English was great and he was so kind. Then, his company drove us back to Bucharest on our last day. We would recommend this tour company 100% to anyone who is traveling to Brasov. If we make it back to Romania, we will book with Traian again!Written 30 December 2024
- H7868ROjasonb0 contributionsHighly recommended tourAmazing tour. Traian, the tour guide, gave in-depth history of the castles and made it hassle free. Not only a great guide but excellent driver too! Highly recommendedWritten 5 December 2024

Also very friendly and a very good driver! He recommended also a very nice restaurant for lunch. We came from Barcelona and we totally recommend this super nice tour !!!!!! The visit to the Bran Castle, Dracula's Castle was amazing !Written 20 October 2024

- WandaJ4070 contributionsBears, Bears, Bears, and MoreWe really enjoyed our bear viewing experience! It was rainy going to the park, but it cleared up nicely once we got situated in our "hide" The viewing area was protected from the elements (like a glass fronted cabin really) and bears would come to feed in viewing distance. I particularly liked the interaction of bears and the cunning little foxes. It was definitely the highlight of my trip to Romania.Written 11 October 2024

- knoll120 contributions3 castle with Discover TransyvaniaClaudio, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about each castle. We went ahead of some other tour groups and were virtually the only group in Peles Castle. It made the tour intimate and easy to follow and see everything without rushing. Peles' castle was intricate and beautiful. There were many beautiful paintings and furniture. It felt like we were in an art museum. The second castle we saw had been taken over by the communists and turned into a hospital. The beautiful frescos had been painted over and the staff was attempting to restore some of the original grandeur of the palace, The juxtaposition of the two ideologies was informative and interesting. This tour is a must to get a glimpse of the complicated history of this region of Romania. Claudio was an excellent guide and a great driver. I'll leave Bran's castle to your imagination.Written 4 October 2024
- knoll120 contributionsDiscover Transylvania with TryonMy favorite part of the tour was Viscri, one of Romania's most beautiful villages, best known for its centuries-old fortified church and traditional houses. I have never seen anything like it. The village consisted of many walled houses, almost like mini-fortresses. The church was at the end of the town. As we toured walnuts fell around us, The gardens were beautiful and the church was filled with ancient script on the walls and pictures. Tryon, the tour guide, answered all our questions and was truly interesting. We had a nice time in Sighispora and a delicious traditional meal. Don't miss Dracula's room at the restaurant. Lots of fun!Written 4 October 2024
- charlottesZ9780HX0 contributionsFabulous tour - highly recommendWe had an amazing day filled with castles with Traian. Not only was he a brilliant chauffeur but he provided private tours of each of the castles (which he knows so much about). He was obviously popular with all of the people working at each locations and we were one of the first groups into Peles which meant we were able to see most of the interior without other people around. Cantacuzino castle was an unexpected delight though there is something for everybody on this tour. We would definitely recommend. Traian also recommended a great restaurant for lunch and again for dinner on our return to Brasov.Written 25 September 2024
- charlottesZ9780HX0 contributionsFabulous tourTraian is an amazing tour guide. He has lots of interesting facts about all the places we visited. He provided a seamless tour for us and was accommodating, offering additional stops/experiences as requested by us. His warmth and friendliness made the tour a delight. He also doubles up as a fabulous photographer (see attached photo). The locations were also amazing, particularly Sighisoara.Written 25 September 2024
- Jason S0 contributionsAmazing tours, and educated guides.Amazing tours! Our tour guide was well informed and answered all our questions. We went on two excursions with this company and they always got us into the attractions before the crowds and helped us avoid long lines which gave us more time to explore.Written 16 September 2024

Claudiu was the perfect tour guide, knew a lot about not just each place we visited but the general history and context of the areas we visited and was very friendly. He gave some food recommendations for lunch and allowed us time to stop for pictures when we wanted. the castles are beautiful Pele's castle was my favorite, unlike Bran, almost everything in there was original. Bran was all replicas and halloween decorations for vampire lovers, I preferred exploring the surrounding town and shops during our lunch break than Bran itself. Unfortunately, Rasnov fortress is under restoration so you can only walk around the outside but you get some incredible views of foggy forest covered mountains and a quaint, red roofed village. Over all, great tour, definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quick and convenient way to see the top highlights of Brasov in one day and maybe you'll get lucky and end up with Claudiu (though I'm sure all the guides are good!)

Excellent and fun tour of Sinaia Monastery, Peles Castle, Cantacuzino Castle which replaced Rasnov Fortress on this tour, and Bran Castle. You will need some Romanian currency as the guide collects castle entrance fees and buys the tickets for the group. Then the whole group skips the line with the guide. This small group tour was very well organized. Traian is extremely knowledgeable and added interesting background to what we were viewing. His perfect timing allowed us to stay ahead of the crowds and actually see and take photos of the sights. It was definitely worth it to tour with an experienced guide who has the keys to the castle and also leave the driving to him and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. And while the car is comfortable, there are mountains, so if you are prone to motion sickness consider wrist bands, Dramamine or whatever works for you.

It was an amazing trip, the guide was punctual and the hotel pick up meant why didn't have to go to the extra hassle in the morning.The Peles castle was amazing and it's worth doing the full tour (all the floors). The guide was knowledgable and full of information and answered all of our questions. The Bran castle was nice but nothing compared to the Peles castle, I highly recommend a tour guide when doing the Bran castle tour as it can be a bit "dry" otherwise. The monastery was a nice bonus as well as the Rasnov fortress.

Thank you for the review. The Peles castle is truly fascinating, the Bran castle impresses with its mystery, medieval architecture and the famous book legend that links it to prince Vlad Tepes (aka Dracula). Claudiu managed to provide you with the necessary information and to offer you this successful tour of the 3 castles.

This is a full day and worthwhile as it includes adequate time to thoroughly visit the larger properties (Bran and Peles). Our guide, Claudiu, was very knowledgeable and attentive to our group’s needs, pacing the tour to suit us while managing the busy day. Very comfortable transportation and good communication for pick-up. Highly recommend this tour for the experience of the countryside in addition to the destinations.

A group of six did a tour to the castles from Brasov. Traian was prompt and courteous. He had extensive knowledge of the areas we toured. No waits in line for the castles. Our lunch went much longer than expected and he never rushed us to hurry up, we took our time. The locations we visited were beautiful and I would highly recommend doing a tour with him to any location in Romania for a first class experience.

The places visited are really very beautiful, as in fact the whole of Transylvania. I tried to make the tour as successful as possible to make you feel very good that day. I'm glad I succeeded.
Thank you for the appreciations.

Our guide Traian was knowledgeable and friendly, the tour doesn’t include the castle tickets but the cost is well worth it for the private tour and stress free transport. Traian was happy to allow us to spend more time/ less time in certain places depending on what we wanted to do. The places themselves were gorgeous and we had a lovely day.

We had an amazing day with Traian and would definitely recommend him to everyone coming to Brasov. He is a passionate guy and you can see from a mile he puts in the extra effort to make the tour the best it can be. We had an excellent experience at the 3 castles Traian madde sure we had all the information presenting every single room with fun and quirky facts. Peles is second to none, Bran was amazing and Rasnov was up there.

Our guides were total professionals. They were knowledgeable, interesting, helpful and friendly. We felt special because they were so well acquainted with the sites and knew to start the morning early, use special access for guides, and allowed “Free time” for personal needs, and shopping. Their English was excellent, and they gladly answered questions. Thanks for a good day!

We had a great day at Peles, Bran and Rasnov (under renovation). Traian is a passionate guide with good historical knowledge which makes the tours interesting. As historians, we appreciated that and learned a lot about Romania. He is considerate and caring. His car is comfortable. We decided to do other tours with him: Rupea, Viscri and Sighisoara (Unesco sites, great and unmissable), and another tailor-made day in Sibiu and surroundings (Fagaras, Cârta, Rasinari, Cisnadioara, Brancovan monastery). Traian is open to proposals and adapts to our areas of interest. We recommend our guide without hesitation.
