  This tour was on my bucket list as Halloween is my fav time of year, plus I love the vampire theme, but aside from that this tour was one of, if not THE best guided tours I've ever been on & I've been on at least 10. Romania is spectacular, SO beautiful! The itinerary was FAB, plus saw all things Dracula, where Vlad was born, where he was entombed, the castle, the Carpathian mountains, but also I think what made the trip so special was our guide, Laurentiu. He was fantastic, he's from Romania, grew up there, so much fascinating knowledge, was funny & easy on the eyes too! ;) But not only that he was always calm, cool & collected, very articulate speech & never rushed, made 4 a really relaxing & pleasant tour, he is just the best!

  Our tour guide Laurentiu (aka Lawrence) was amazing. He was equal parts informative and funny. Very easygoing and answered all our questions. The itinerary itself was good. I would definitely would have liked at least an entire day in Sibiu and Sighișoara at minimum and another whole day in Brasov. I would not mind if the tour was longer and the price would certainly be worth it. Romania is a much more beautiful country than I expected and I can’t wait to visit other parts!

  Excellent and our guide was outstanding. We called him Lawrence since we had difficulty pronouncing his real name. He was informative, friendly and enjoyed him.

  Our guide was great, the accommodations varied from good to OK, the towns we visited were very nice though some places were closed and we could not enter, the Halloween party was fun though I recommend having the “off day” be the following day. Overall had a great time! Romania is beautiful ❤️

  Romania is wonderful and it was great seeing all the towns that we were able to. The group was an excellent size with 8 people. All of the places listed in the original tour itinerary were not visited and I never received an updated itinerary that 2 of the other guests on the tour received. It’s a very full schedule especially when taking into consideration the amount of traffic, so you’ll be sacrificing time somewhere, most often we chose to skip lunch and push on. I was disappointed about the day leading up to the Halloween party. We spent very little time in Sighisoara, so we were unable to eat at Vlads birthplace for lunch or see much of the town. Since we were on a Halloween tour I feel like there should have been more of an emphasis around Halloween related events. The tour guide and driver did their best to make sure we reached everything, but the schedule is impossible with the current traffic conditions. It was also the week that their schools try different things, so there was a large number of kids at a lot of the locations which added to wait time to get into places and while touring them. I did love Romania and I’m already planning to visit again. Partying at bran castle is a once in a lifetime event that everyone should do. Loved our tour guide Lorenzo, he had a lot of interesting information to share. I personally would of loved to hear more about local myths, but I did enjoy all the historical and personal stories. Can’t wait to visit Romania again!

  A tour to Romania had been a dream of mine for well over a decade, so when the time came to plan my next big trip, I finally decided that it was time. AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Laurentiu was the most incredible guide, could never have asked for better. He was so knowledgeable, and what he wasn't entirely sure of he sought to find out and confirm information for us. The small number of the group made it easier to get around places without too much confusion, and we really did become a great group of friends. While the Halloween and Dracula aspect was definitely the big pull for this trip (the Halloween Party at Bran Castle was an absolute highlight), getting to know a country that was so beautiful and so steeped in rich history was an experience I will never, ever forget. The only tiny issues were a few organisation elements from the company itself, but other than that, this trip was a dream come true. If you want the chance to truly experience everything this beautiful country has to offer, look no further. I have left a piece of my heart in Romania and I will for certain be back one day

  My Halloween trip was my first experience with Romania, and it was very nice. Even though I traveled alone, I felt welcomed by our guide Laur and his help Julian. We traveled in a small group of about 12 people of different ages and country origins that mixed charmingly. Transylvania is magnificent, and you can feel history at every step. The highlight was the party at Bran Castle, but I enjoyed it more the campfire with the traditional dinner.

  Our tour guide Lorenz was very knowledgeable. He gave us a wealth of information. He was both personable and super helpful. He went out of his way to try to accommodate all of us. However, I was so disappointed that we di not receive our private tour of Bran Castle! That was our whole reason for spending time in Romania and Halloween in Transylvania. Julian from Rolandiia took it upon himself to book us to see a Bear Reserve instead! That should have been an optional tour for those who were interested as I was not. That took out over 3 hours which left us no time to tour the castle or walk around the town. Time management needs to be addressed. Too much is packed into a day and there was entirely too much time on the bus. We would get into a town at 6 pm and leave the next day at 9 am! If Julian was there to take photos for his company. He should have adhered to our original schedule and not throw in extra outings to accommodate his agenda. Also, there is no need to visit the salt mines or the communist leaders home. There are many more beautiful sites in Romania. I am very disappointed that I lost out on our private tour of Bran Castle. The highlight of our trip was sacrificed without our input to see Bears.
