I had a very good and experienced guide - Toni. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 sites to be visited inside were closed without anyone being informed in advance ! All together I would recommend this tour for spring or fall !

I had an marvelous afternoon tour visiting Caldarusani Monastery, then Snagov Monastery where Dracula's Tomb is located, and Mogosoaia Lake Palace. My private guide and driver was Marius, who was a very punctual and responsible driver. I learned a significant amount about the typical architecture and the frescoes on the monasteries in Romania. I was very impressed with the 3 places that we visited, and thanks to Marius who is a professional photographer I obtained excellent pictures of Caldarusani Monastery. Snagov Monastery, where Vlad Țepeș (aka Dracula) is said to be buried is extraordinarily beautiful. Finally, Mogoșoaia Palace is also worth visiting to asmire it’s grandeur.
