Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Santiago Tour company
At the end of 2019 I made reservation for my wife and I with Gate1 for 22 days tour from Sofia, Bulgaria to Belgrade, Serbia and to Bucharest, Romania. We also planned to cruise Black Sea and Danube river as well.
Forward to 2020 - Covid-19 stopped it all. So, in January 2022 when my touring companies announced their 2022 schedules I arranged all our tours consequently with few days in between. February 2022 Russian war in Ukraine cancelled our Black Sea cruise and it was replaced with the Mediterranean cruise and about 40 days prior to our flight to Europe Gate1 canceled our land tour as well.
Our only option was to have private land tour from Sofia to Bucharest. After sending itinerary to four European agencies, I was in continuous internet communication with them and the Santiago Tour was standing out for the promptness of their response and quality of answers on my many questions. They had not been the least expensive company, but overall, they made the best impression. Also, I read reviews of all companies and while they were all good, the Santiago Tour still stand out from the pack. They reserved majority of 4* hotels and three 3* hotels. All hotels were located in the historic parts of the cities and the 3* hotels were particularly interesting buildings.
Everything worked exactly as described by Cristian- owner of Santiago Tour starting from our guide Catalin meeting us in the Sofia airport. I requested the very intensive sightseeing program and Catalin made it possible by being very receptive to our physical ability to do it at my age 76 and my wife is 73. After traveling over 65+ countries we had opportunity to observe and interact with countless guides, but Catalin stood out from them all. His comprehensive knowledge and outgoing nature kept us going even after climbing hundreds of steps in all kinds of castles and when we were ready to ask for mercy.
The last two days in Bucharest we had another guide George and he was very good as well.
Santiago Tour company made it possible and we highly recommend it for touring Eastern Europe.

Our family adventure of 8 to Bran and Peles Castles and the city of Brasov with Santiago Tours exceeded all expectations, especially because of the exceptional work of our guide Catalin. Their passion, deep knowledge of Romanian history and culture, and personalized attention made the excursion a unique experience. Catalin not only answered all of our questions, but also made the excursion something special. In addition, Catalin provided us with valuable recommendations for the rest of our stay in Romania, which turned out to be extremely useful, even though we had not contracted additional services with them.
Catalin's performance, in response to an incident with a forgotten wallet, was outstanding, showing exceptional commitment even on a holiday. We recommend Santiago Tours and Catalin for their ability to offer a tourist experience that mixes adventure, learning and exceptional customer service.

The best option to take tours of Romania.
We did a full 12-day tour of the country, visiting castles, churches, cottages, the black sea, mountain landscapes, forest, the delta... and many more! The country dazzled us and we wanted to continue touring... and not only because of its landscapes and food, but because the attention of Santiago Tour has been exceptional.
From before the trip we had a clear and quick communication to organize our tour (even adapting the plan to our wishes). During the trip we had the best guide (Nico) who accompanied us very carefully to all our doubts. We couldn't ask for a kinder guide than him!
The hotels and excursions hired have all been of excellent quality.

It was the third time that we have used the services of Santiago Tours and like the previous two, the result has been exceptional. Our trip has been tailored to our requests and the organization, by Cristian, has been exceptional, collecting all our wishes based on places to visit, hotels requested and a route perfectly thought out so that the trip was not too burdensome.
An example: A few dates before the start of the trip, the visiting days of Peles Castle changed, which prevented us from being able to visit it according to the planned program... Cristian informed us and in less than a week, he managed to change the entire route so that we could do the visit at the end instead of the beginning, with the changes of ALL the reservations of the planned hotels... Effectiveness to the maximum... Thank you Cristian.
And when we started the trip, we enjoyed an exceptional guide, the same as on the previous two trips and who, as always, demonstrated knowledge, sympathy, empathy, giving all kinds of facilities and advice about restaurants, dishes, places of interest. change, etc... Thank you very much Catalín!!!
The consequence of our experience with this agency is that we are already preparing the next tour for soon...

The trip has been fantastic!! . It has been very well organized and quite complete to visit the essentials of Romania. The driver and Guide Catalin have been attentive at all times to give us all the help. Catalin is a magnificent Guide, very well prepared and documented, who has given us very complete information of the sites we visited. It has also facilitated the whole food theme and made everything easy for us on this trip. We are people who have traveled a lot for years, and if I have to highlight something about this trip is the great professionalism demonstrated by both the agency and the Catalin Guide. We will repeat with them!!!

We are two elderly Uruguayan couples who wanted to take a trip to Romania, Bulgaria and the Balkans. It is an area with very little tourist promotion for us, so we began to look for those who could make us a trip according to our requirements. We couldn't find anyone who fulfilled our aspirations until, through his website, we contacted Cristian from Santiago Viajes. We raised our concerns with him and with his contribution of experience, knowledge and professionalism he put together a project for us in Romania, Bulgaria, its Black Sea coasts, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegobina, Croatia and Serbia, in 21 or 20 days. nights. Exactly as we intended. With sincerity we must say that we had expectations for everything unknown. Also with the greatest sincerity we must say that once the tour is finished and completed our final comment is: EXCELLENT, IN ALL CONCEPTS. From our arrival at the Bucharest airport, where the guide was waiting for us, to the transfer to the Belgrade airport where our trip ended, everything has been carried out according to plan and even more. For this to be the case, it is necessary to have someone to guide you in the appropriate way. We were assigned Catalín as a driver and guide who accompanied us the entire trip. Without detriment and with total respect for the other professionals in the company, it was a success and a fundamental contribution to making our tour as totally satisfactory as it was. From the beginning, his empathy for the group was basic and then his professionalism, ability, knowledge, and experience led us on the path of excellence. In short, the tour contracted with Santiago Viajes met all expectations, routes, places visited, hotels, programming, modern and comfortable transportation, and accompaniment. Again, totally satisfactory experience and services provided at a very good level.
Thank you very much Cristian and Catalín.

This is our second trip organized perfectly by Cristian de Santiago Tours Romania. At the first opportunity, we travelled to Romania accompanied by Catalin. It was such a good experience that we rehired them for a 15-day trip through Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania and Greece. Unsurprisingly everything turned out wonderful. The excellent organization of Cristian, the first-class hotels, the tours in an always impeccable luxury transport and to complete everything accompanied by Catalin a professional who deals with every detail, knowledgeable of good restaurants thus offering a stress-free, fun and interesting trip at the same time. For this and much more, I recommend Santiago Tour Romania and Catalin.
Do not hesitate, they are special !!!!!!!!

We are a group of 11 friends who have just done a tour of Hungary and Bratislava with Santiago Tours. It is not the first time we have traveled with them, we have already done it on another occasion, and this will not be the last. Santiago Tours are excellent professionals, always attentive to make the trip an unforgettable experience. Absolutely recommended. The organization and attention are impeccable. This time we have traveled through Hungary: Budapest, Pécs, Lake Balaton, Vezsprém, Visegrád, Danube bend and Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Everything was perfectly organized from when they picked us up at the airport until they dropped us off again at the airport to catch the return flight. The fantastic hotels and the guide in Hungary, Gabriella, an excellent professional as well as friendly and willing to help and advise us on everything. He recommended restaurants, entertainment venues, places to walk during free time.... A delight! Eva, the guide in Bratislava, a very special woman who told us very interesting stories and made the visit special.
An unforgettable trip!
Thanks, Cristian

Buenos días, vamos a visitar Bucarest y parte de transilvania y seguramente elegiremos esta empresa por su buena opinión. Mi duda es ... Alguien a viajado con la opción de solo chofer? Me puede informar sobre si es una buena opción por la información ofrecida o en tal caso se queda muy corto por no ofrecer información sobre los lugares a visitar, y es preciso contratar también la opción de guía y conductor-guía? Gracias.

Nosotros viajamos con un señor que nos hizo los dos papeles, conductor y guía. Fue fenomenal, pero ciertamente no es un guía al uso, se quedaba un poco escaso en ciertas explicaciones.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
