  This trip exceeded my expectations. I was intrigued with the Halloween party at the Bran Castle, however the trip was so much more. An adventure of a life time thanks to our tour guides Vlad & Georgiana. I highly recommend this tour company. You will not be disappointed.

  Romania was more than I imagined. The Castles, The Churches, The Fortified Towns and the History is amazing! Our tour guides Vlad and Georgianna were fabulous. The are very knowledgeable and readily and enthusiastically shared their history of Romania with us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beautiful country of Romania and learn all about its fascinating history.

  I was in a danish group with wih architects and buildingsuppliers "Meet2Build" and we had a great experience with Romanian Thrill and especially the guide Vlad Blaj. He was a excellent guide throughout the week. I will gladly recommend him and the company to other groups or families, - it was a pure pleasure all way through.

  In July 2022, I spent a delightful 11 days on the “Myths and Legends of Transylvania” tour offered by Romanian Thrills. Romanian Thrills does not offer “ordinary” tours. Their tour groups are small - very small - usually with a 6-person maximum, although they can tailor a tour for larger groups. The co-owners Vlad Blaj and Georgiana Ancai focus on sustainable tourism. Their vast knowledge and small group emphasis enable them to take you to lesser-known “hidden gems” (like seeing Copsa Mare fortress and staying in a restored historic home in town) as well as better-known destinations such as Bran Castle, Viradru Lake, and the Libearty Bear Sanctuary. Their itinerary included plenty to enjoy and adequate time to relax. But flexibility was built in too - a later morning start, an added visit to a site of special interest, a wine tasting in a castle basement. And the “Myths and Legends of Transylvania” tour included several surprises … I won’t spoil them. Whether you go on a half-day walking tour or a two-week trip through the country, you will be glad you chose Romanian Thrills. From my first inquiry to our continuing sharing of photos and stories post-trip, Romanian Thrills responded in a prompt, professional, and organized way. This was my first trip to Europe, and it will probably be my only visit there. What a memorable, long-anticipated experience. It exceeded my expectations and I expected a great deal! I can’t think of any better tour guides or personal ambassadors for Romania.

  If you are planning a trip to Romania take this tour with Vlad and Georgiana. Five stars are not enough to adequately rate how happy my wife and I were during our tour. This past summer we spent about 10 weeks traveling through Europe, beginning in Amsterdam and ending in Bucharest. Our travels included two river cruises as well as a small group tour before we visited Romania. We both agree that our time spent touring with Romanian Thrills was the highlight of our adventure. The accommodations were excellent both in location and quality. The itinerary was outstanding as were the meals and transportation. However, even beyond that the insights into Romania's culture and history coupled with the detail information provided during site visits was the most outstanding part of an outstanding trip. We recommend these tours to anyone and hope to return to see more of this beautiful country soon. And when we return, we plan to travel again with Romanian Thrills.

  What an epic tour we had together! Could not have asked for better guests to take around and help discover our country. It was truly our pleasure and hope to see each other in the near future :)

  Came to Romania in search of vampires and ghost stories but it ended up being so much more than that. Vlad and Georgiana created an itinerary just for me and my friends which included the Peles, Bran and Corvinilor castles and a lot of small villages around Transylvania (fortified churches and citadels of former Saxon population). There was a lot of interaction with the locals and I think Romanians are very friendly people. My favorite part of the tour was a medieval battle training workshop we did at Rupea citadel. There was a costumed medieval knight that showed us sword technique and we got to clad ourselves in armour and try different weapons people used to wear in battle hundreds of years ago. I guess it was just boys being boys but in the coolest place possible: Transylvania!

  As a Belgian I didn't know much about Romania. Transylvania seemed this far far away fairy land. I was skeptical about going on this tour at first but boy am I happy I did. I was blown away by the beauty of Transylvania and all the people I met there. The tour made me want to go back to Romania and visit other regions as well. Vlad and Georgiana are wonderful people, really passioned about what they do. They are always smiling and I felt like they were some old friends rather than just tour guides. I can’t recommend them enough.
