About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Edythe0 contributionsGood day. Good guide.We had a very good day with Florin yesterday (September 29/24). He picked us up at our hotel in Brasov, promptly at 8:30, as he had said he would….always a good beginning! As he was worried about the crowds and the rain, we drove quickly to Peles Castle, and he provided a very good commentary about the castle as we toured inside. Next was Caraiman Monastery…a modern working church and Monastery….interesting. We had asked about seeing one of the fortified churches in the area, and he kindly agreed, taking us to Harman, and again providing information and commentary about the church as we toured through. He is very knowledgable and professional in his approach. We certainly would recommend him as a tour guide while in Brasov.Written 30 September 2024
- Interestedtravelfan0 contributionsFlorin was a great guide and friend for the dayFlorin was a great guide and friend for the day. He picked us up on time and took us on the Transfargasaran Road. It was stunning. Once at the top there are street traders selling local goods and street food. Beautiful lake up there as well. We were lucky enough to see a young brown bear on the way down next to the road as well. Plus we drove through 2 herds of sheep. We had a great day out with Florin. Thanks Florin. From Richard and TraceyWritten 13 September 2024
- 133chelsieb0 contributionsEngaging and adaptable guideFlorin is a fantastic guide. I had a private tour with him and he allowed me to make changes and adapt the tour to my interests. Florin is an expert on the area, and at the start of the tour he showed me a map and pointed out my options so I could decide which stops would suit my needs best. He taught me a lot about the history and culture of Romania. Transylvania is so beautiful and unique! I only did a day trip with Florin but I recommend booking several days traveling around the area with Florin.Written 8 July 2024
- Patricia M0 contributionsPlus he took us to see the snow!Our driver, Florian was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. Plus, he was super flexible. He agreed to alter our plans for the day to add an extra side trip! We did pay a little extra but it was a good decision. His English was excellent and he was a good teacher. All-in-all a very good day.Written 9 June 2024
- SusanL2740 contributionsVery good walking tour of BrasovWe took a 4-he walking tour of Brasov with Florin. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the city while providing historical and architectural context for Brasov and the whole region. He also provided helpful tips about other sites we could visit on our own. A very worthwhile tour!Written 20 October 2023
- DiverLuv2travel0 contributionsHe covers the basicsHe was nice, but perfunctory. We checked the boxes and learned a bit. His car was clean and he drove safely on the crazy roads. He knew the area well. However, he wasn’t proactive with checking in with us. Things like restrooms, lunch (nothing seemed to be planned to allow for time), taking pictures, or car temp. He just didn’t ask.Written 8 October 2023
- js0nf0 contributionsA nice day yourWe really enjoyed this trip. The palace was very beautiful, especially in the snow. Florin was an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge about the history. He also took us to the George Enescu house. We recommend this trip with Florin.Written 4 February 2023
- Kiara K0 contributionsAn Easy Way to See Main Tourist Interest SpotsThis was my second tour with Florin, who was very flexible with our time schedule since we had to be back by 4pm. This tour is great for getting to and from a few of the main tourist attractions while visiting Brasov. I mention this in my other review for Transfăgărășan tour with Florin, but what is missing is the 20 minute tour pitch about the history and background of the area while driving to the spots on the tour. If we didn't ask any questions, then we would not have learned much about where we were going and visiting. You had to have questions ready. Or else the car ride was long and silent.Written 2 November 2022
- thornbird890 contributionsAn amazing tripThis was the first time of my sister and me booking a private tour and our experience was really nice. It's cool there is a chance to go see the road with a tour because if you don't have a car it will become a problem. We want to thank Florin for taking good care of us during the trip. He told us a bit of history of Romania and the places we visited, took some photos for us and was very patient about our excitmenet. Also kudos to Florin for safe driving because we were a bit worried about the road. We definitely will recommend him for our friends if one day they decide to visit Romania!Written 31 October 2022
- stephaniefN874JJ0 contributionsSolo trip experienceI was looking to go out on my own, but an ad suggested this tour and it was awesome! Got to experince the countryside of Transylvania and learn about its history. Went to some areas you wouldn’t find as a tourist. Duration was very flexible as it depends on how long you want to spend in those areas, and also gives you the chance to do other things you may find along the way. 100% recommend!Written 28 September 2022
- H2644XPjg0 contributionsFantastic trips with Florin!We strongly recommend Florin for tours around Brasov. He's a lovely guy, very informative, and a safe and calm driver. He adapted to our needs and preferences. We initially just booked the Sighizoara tour with him, but appreciated him so much that we also booked the Bran day trip. ☺Written 13 August 2022
- giuseppen-19880 contributionsGreat experience with Florin!Florin is a great tour guide and a pleasant person! I made the Sighisoara tour from Brasov (Cetatea Felidoara, Cetatea Rupea, Viscri with its Church, Sighisoara) and everything was great. Proper time dedicated to every actractions, he is cautious when driving, very expert of Romanian art and story and very enjoable to spend time with! I felt like I was visiting Romania with a super-expert friend!Written 8 August 2022
- fedelesm0 contributionsDefinitely worth doing it!!! Wonderful tour and Florin was an amazing guide!Firstly let us start by saying how happy we were to have booked this tour! We will definitely use it again. Thank you Florin for taking such care of us and making this such a great experience, we also really enjoyed all the stopping points and the wonderful landscape. We would reccommend this service to any friends and family etcWritten 3 August 2022
- JacobCracker0 contributionsAbsolutely reliable and kind tour guide with genuine hospitality and adviceFlorin was absolutely the best guide we've had during our honeymoon trip to Europe. He patiently picked us from the Airport and brought us around Brasov for a few days. Absolutely accommodating and he also knew where all the places are, be it the tourist destination or recommendations off the beaten tracks. It's his kind personality that makes it all comfortable to tour with him! Highly recommended! When he discovered we wanted to try out some local cheese, he even offered to give us some of the chives and plants that he grew at home just to make the experience more personal and authentic. We will never forget him and I'm sure you would absolutely be making the right choice in engaging Florin.Written 6 July 2022
- rebecca b0 contributionsNice day drive to SighisoaraThe guide is not very well informed. From my experience Florin is rather an experienced driver for the romanian roads than a guideWritten 23 June 2022

Our tour guide was amazing!! It really is the best way to see all three castles in one day. The tour guide picked us up from our hotel room and knew the best routes to avoid most of the traffic and get us in front of the long lines. Due to the castles being crowded tourist traps we would have had a hard time navigating it on own and would have been much more time consuming/frustrating. Due to it being a private tour, we were able to take all the time we wanted taking pictures and stopping for food occasionally. The guide was extremely knowledgeable in history of all the castles, making it much richer experience.

Outstanding day visiting iconic Transylvanian castles. We travelled from Scotland to tour Romania and were not disappointed.
Our guide was a lovely and knowledgeable man, very good company and having the luxury of a private tour makes the entire experience a lot more personal and enjoyable. You can take your time, learn more about the places and engage in interesting conversations.
Highly recommend this tour. It's been the highlight of our Romanian adventure.
Thank you so much for today and hopefully we meet again. All our best wishes!

We had a lovely day out with Florin on our 2nd day in Romania.
Millions of questions about Romania, we got our answers at the end of the trip.
The only unfortunate was the Peles castle was closed for the annual cleaning :(

I am a single American female traveler. I booked this tour with Florin based on previous reviews. The tour is good and I recommend it as you can see all the main castle attractions and a fortress in one day, something very difficulty to achieve without a guide. However, I was most impressed that Florin is exceptionally helpful. He helped me book additional tickets for special exhibits in this tour and with information on catching an early morning bus to the airport direct from Brasov, which I did not know existed. This saved me a lot of time, money and headache!

I had such a delightful day with Florin as my guide! Depsite the rain, we had a grand time and I so appreciated all the history that I learned along the way. At Peles we ran into an unexpected car show and Florin was even able to give me background on many of them. So much fun! We did a little shopping next to 'Dracula's' Castle after he showed me a great spot for photographing it and then climbed up to the Citadel for some spectacular views. On the way home Florin even took me to a grocery store where I could purchase some local wines (at non-tourist prices) and helped me buy my train ticket for my return to Bucharest the next day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Florin. He was a great guide, knowledgeable and just plain fun to tour with.

Highly recommend this day tour of castles. Of course we love Brasov as one of our bases in Romania. And Florin is an excellent guide, a good driver, and knows everything cultural and historical about Romania past/current changes. We had already visited Bran Castle which was great (and it snowed that day!) so Florin modified our trip for us with visits and thorough commentary: Ghimbov fortified church (very interesting), Saxon villages, Manastirea Caraiman, Rosnov Fortress (a bit of walking and gorgeous scenery), and Peles Castle. Wonderful day.

The castles tour is a "must" if you go to Braşov. Florin is an excellent guide, he knows Transylvania like the palm of his hand and speaks very good english.
About the castles: Peleş is the most beautiful one (visit both floors, not only the 1st) and Bran is the most famous. Rasnov is ok (medieval fortress).

We enjoyed our day with Florin. It was a special day in Romania (2nd of january) and the road was crowded. Florin knew how to manage to realize the tour and to visit the 3 places. He always drove carefully. He gave us many informations about Romania during all the day and helped us to go to the entrance of the castles, always paying attention if we could enter in the castles for the visit. He also visited Rasnov with us and guided us in all the citadel. We realized a second day tour with Florin, which was as perfect as this one ! Thank you very much !

Florin’s tour was very well put together! My friend, brother and I were all visiting from New York and this tour led to a perfect day and seeing all the castles and fortresses! It was a bit of a gloomy weather but we were all able to enjoy it! Florin really has great knowledge about the castles, Braşov and the country itself and even shared about his life experience growing up here. He was easy to communicate, both in person and through email, answering our questions as best as he could! He also offered us the WiFi but we already had purchase the SIM cards for our week in Romania. And he even brought umbrellas Incase it would start to rain hard. Definitely would recommend his tour! As said before, Florin has and knows a lot of great knowledge about the castles, Brasov and Romania itself!

Written 9 January 2020
So the trip pick up is early am. For us it was at 7:30 from our Air BnB in the city center and we didn't get back until 5:30 pm - you would not be able to do all 3 spots unless you have all day. It will allow you to book for just 2 people and up to 4 (we had 4).

HI, will the tour include access into the castles? Thankyou
