This is the second part of the review as it was our second trip and it was just as nice as the first one. Romania is filled with beautiful history and we were very lucky Traian helped us discover it. A very long but very beautiful day.

We came on a cruise to Romania and wanted to avoid the big group we had so far so we decided to pick a smaller local company and it was simply amazing. We got picked up in a modern Mercedes sedan with plenty of room. Our guide was very polite knowledgable and opened the door for us every time he got the chance. Claudiu had all the answers he encouraged us to ask him questions, so we had a great time!Y6138TUjacquelinea

Thank you Traian for the amazing trips I would highly recommend him to anybody staying in Brasov and looking for a daytrip or more as I did. We had a perfect day! Sighisoara was amazing, a medieval city with the defence wall still standing is not something you find very often. Viscri was absolutely worth it, coming from the city it's amazing to see secluded villages that have been frozen in time. Rasnov was also great, the most amazing thing about it was the 360 view once you get up on top would definitely recommend it for a movie site! Thank you Traian for sharing you knowledge and Information with us.L968IHandyf
