Huge thank you to Alin and Octavian for an incredible day on Transfagarasan Road! We took in all the sights at a very leisurely pace and even saw Brown Bears up close too. Super helpful service and our driver was not only incredibly fun, friendly and knowledgeable but also very conscious of our safety. Wonderful experience from start to finish and can't recommend this company enough - Thank you!

I have booked quite a few trips before but Dreamlike Journeys & Sebastian are indeed the best not only in Romania but of all of my experiences. I have never seen such incredible customer support and attention to detail before - every part of the experience was beyond expectations. He even sent me a video with the place where we were going filmed by Top Gear! The trip itself was breathtaking and Sebastian was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable - he really makes the Romanian tourist industry proud. I am super grateful and would recommend the trip and Dreamlike Journeys to everyone coming to see the magic of Romania. They are indeed the best.
