“Our tour guide was Stefan who was witty, informative and provided helpful historical facts about the places we visited. Fortunately on the day we went there weren’t any long lines so we were able to see the castles in a suitable time and without too many tourists. A lot of the negative reviews that I have read could be avoided if general housekeeping information is followed, booking information is read properly and punctuality adhered to as with any other tour in any other city. Bring €60 (300RON as of this date) for castle entry and guided tour as stated in the booking. The Viator booking is for transport only and…”

“Very well managed with the reservation and the information update, thank you! The tour is quite short and the guide doesn't speak loudly enough and it was very difficult to hear, even if the information and the stories were very interesting. The maintenance of the building impressed us very bad - windows are very dirty and cables are installed in the ugliest possible way on the stairs and on the halls. It is needed more attention to the maintenance. The chandeliers were so dusty, that they were grey instead of shining and glittering. But all in all was a well spent time and it was interesting. Thank you!”

“Lucia is a great tour guide. She told us a lot of things about Bucharest, history of Romania, about the buildings, foods, people, even the cars. It gave me a new perspective about this country.

Plus she has a great humor which made the tour not boring 😊 I really recommend this tour !”
