We would highly recommend Christina Tours as the service from start to finish was excellent. Our email queries were handled promptly by Dan even before we arrived in Romania.
Our group of five really enjoyed our day out in Transylvania in the company of Bogdan/Boggy. We were picked up promptly and as this trip involves spending several hours on the road, Bogdan kept us all entertained for hours and hours.
He was extremely patient with our never-ending queries about Romania, be it the country's history, about places of interest elsewhere in Romania or about sports etc. He also took us to some great spots during the course of the day to take some photographs.
Due to traffic and long entrance queues, the day proved to be much longer than expected but we were never rushed through any of the sites. Bogdan also seems to have friends in high places as we managed to jump the queue at Bran Castle - which was such a welcome surprise as it meant we could escape the 38 degrees Celsius furnace much quicker than expected.
Our long day out also meant we were very, very late for our dinner booking in Bucharest but Bogdan kept calling the restaurant to ensure they kept a table for us.
Bogdan also gave some great tips/recommendations on what to see, do & eat during the rest of our stay in Romania. He really is a fantastic guide. Despite this being a private tour, it was great value and we also had the advantage of doing everything at our own pace.
