Private 5-Day Tour in Transylvania from Bucharest Hotel Pick-up and Drop off

The man, and our guide, Bogdan Ghenoiu is more than a creative problem-solving travel guide, more than an interesting sociable light-hearted man of the world, more than a polite knowledgeable educator of all things Romanian. He is honest. He is reliable. And he is trustworthy. How else can I express our family’s appreciation of the safety and clarity that we felt from being with him. He communicated with us regarding which destinations to visit, advised us on restaurants and provided lodgings that gave us a deep understanding of the people and history of Romania. One of his selected overnight accommodations proved to be the most memorable and satisfying. It was a family home (children gone, pursuing their lives) with the father and mother running a clean, simple bed & breakfast with dinner included. And what a dinner it was! Adriana is a fantastic cook. The food was so well made, easily surpassing what you can find in any restaurant. Homemade meals of traditional meats and soups, salads and desserts. The bread and cheese or cakes sometimes came in from a neighbor-villager in barter for the work the father did for others in the community. Everyone in our party agreed we were lucky: we got to spend two nights there! We will never forget Bogdan and the journey we shared. We saw the real Romania with him as our touchstone.

We had both Adrian and Bogan as our guide s, both extremely knowledgeable, provided lots of information and also pleasant company. Accommodation was fine. We were perhaps a little rushed at Bran castle and it was very busy as holiday weekend. Could probably drop off Rasnov fortress as you don’t really see much and add more time in Brasov. Overall we had a good trip

We really enjoyed out private tour with Bogdan. He fit into our group very well. It is obvious that he loves his country and sharing it with others. He has great knowledge of the history and fun stories to share. We especially enjoyed trying the Romanian food, beer, wine, and palinka. If you want to experience a very scenic and historic region which not many tourists visit, I encourage you to go to Romania and engage Bogdan to show you around.
