“My group of 10 friends had an amazing day with Florin as we traveled in our fantastic mini bus to Sighisoara and other highlights in Transylvania. What was so wonderful is that in the 10 hours we were with Florin, everything just evolved in spectacular fashion. Just trust Florin to lead you! He is amazing!!! We were paced at our own liking and never felt rushed. So, we were able to just “soak everything in” in this beautiful country. Florin has a library full of information in his brain and knows how to share it all without making you feel you are in a lecture. I am a travel agent…”

“Three of us just had an enjoyable tour with Stefan as our private guide. Our flight from Hong Kong is delayed for one day. However, Stefan and Mihai are able to rework out itinerary very nicely to catch up most important spots. Of course, I had to say Stefan drives very well. He is very considerate to make sure we see the best, we hear the story, we have good food, wine and ice-cream ! Transylvania got a lot to offer ... it's fresh air, history, churches and architectures. I personally enjoyed it much more than Bucharest city.”

“Nothing was too much trouble for Mircea, who picked us up from our hotel bang on time, and delivered us promptly back in the evening after a full, knowledge packed day in Transylvania. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and ensured that we got to see everything on our trip despite some delays due to overcrowding (not his fault at all) at Peles Castle by efficient time keeping. Can highly recommend this guide and tour - thank you again Mircea!”

“Our three days in Transylvania with Matthew were fantastic. It was a small group—just the two of us and another couple—which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our guide was an excellent driver, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. We saw some incredible sights just off the side of the road, and the forests were absolutely stunning. The castles we visited were impressive, and the towns of Sibiu and Brașov were really charming and full of character. Both hotels we stayed in were perfect—not too big, with very good breakfasts. Overall, the trip was great value, and we’re very happy with our choice.”

“Rolandia was fantastic, and our tour guide George was one of the nicest people we've ever met and really did everything to make us feel welcome. Note, we didn't do this exact tour but close - we did a custom private tour that started in Budapest and went to Corvin, Bran, and Peles castles. We stayed overnight in Timisora and Sibiu. Would definitely recommend Rolandia - they made planning very easy and were super accommodating to what we wanted to do. All three castles were very cool to visit, and loved how quaint Sibiu is!”
