We enjoyed an excellent 4-day tour of beautiful Transylvania, driving through interesting countryside and forests in a comfortable vehicle with an expert guide. We even saw bears!Nick was a mine of relevant information and put it all into excellent context, including both the distant and recent past socioeconomic and political aspects. The towns we stayed in were picturesque and the accommodation venues chosen were unique, interesting and very comfortable. A great trip, thanks Bogdan!
Read MoreTraveling with Book Tours Romania was, hands down, the best personal, guided tour company that I have ever experienced. Bogdan went above and beyond in everything that he did to ensure we had a memorable experience. I sent my interests and needs, and he curated a fabulous 14-day trip throughout the country. We focused on visiting artists throughout the country and unique cultural experiences with a focus on eco-tourism. It was an incredible experience and I can't recommend traveling with Bogdan enough. From tasting incredible food to dining with the locals, visiting artists, staying in chic bed and breakfasts, hiking, and much more, it was a beautiful trip. Thank you, Bogdan!
Read MoreThis was a FANTASTIC tour (4-day tour of beautiful Transylvania)! Our guide, George, was excellent. We had time to see things at our own pace, but still see everything we wanted to see and learn about all of it. And even the airport transfers were on time and uneventful, so this was a stress-free trip. I certainly would not mind visiting Romania again and I would definitely go with this company again. Thank you, Bogdan and George!
Read MoreWe loved our 4-day Transylvania tour from BookToursRomania with our driver/guide Gelu! We were 2 couples, all active North American seniors and experienced travellers. Gelu spoke impeccable English, was incredible knowledgeable and courteous, and a good driver. We had a new clean mini van. All 3 hotels were very good, in safe central locations well situated for after-tour walks, each different in style, all clean and quiet with good breakfasts and wifi. The itinerary was great for an introduction to Transylvania. Highlights for us included Peles Castle, the Saxon villages and fortified churches, and the Transfagarasan Road. Another highlight was visiting an old Saxon house owned by now King Charles of Britain in the village of Viscri. No complaints or criticisms.

Read MoreFrom start to finish the communication with Bogdan was helpful prompt and knowledgeable. Nick my guide for the 4 days was an incredible driver and an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge. I met Bogdan the owner of the company in Brasov his home city as I had exchanged so many messages with him. Both Nick and Bogdan instantly made me feel at home with them and both are incredibly easy to get along with. Doing a 4 day tour by yourself with a guide made me a bit nervous but with Nick making me feel at home and adjusting the speed of visits to various things to the speed I wanted to move at the tour was moulded to me and I simply could not ask for better. Romania and Transylvania are beautiful parts of the world with so much to see and do I highly recommend to see this part of the world and to contact Bogdan for his expertise and he will ensure you see all the best parts wether it's a 1 day trip to a 12/14 day trip this company will look after you.

Read MoreWe just returned from a 3 1/2 week tour of Eastern Europe, covering 5 countries by River Boat and private car. By far, the highlight of the trip were the 4 days, 3 nights we spent with Bogdan Savulescu in Transylvania. We had read reviews raving about his tours and requested him specifically. He even exceeded our high expectations. He put together a comprehensive itinerary and we were able to see and learn so much more than our fellow river cruisers experienced on their Transylvania pre-trip. The accommodations he selected were unique and outstanding, the best of our trip. We covered multiple UNESCO sites, both famous castles and charming cities and tiny villages. His knowledge of Romanian history is extensive and he could easily lead a European tour of all places related to Dracula and Vlad the Impaler. His car was spacious and immaculate and easily accommodated our large luggage for our upcoming river cruise. We usually packed a backpack for overnight, leaving the big luggage in the car (although he was willing to help us carry them into our historic and elevatorless accommodations). He always knew the best place to take photos and we now have a wonderful archive of photos of us together. We were amazed that he was able to include a home hosted dinner with a charming couple in a small village outside Sibiu. He had offered to arrange for us to visit a gypsy home, but we declined anticipating something similar with the ship. We should have taken up his offer. He was generous with bottled water and his bag of snacks was unbelievable. His choices for meals were good, giving us a nice variety and introduction to Romanian specialties. We have traveled independently all over the world but traveling with Bogdan opened up a whole new realm of travel experience. We now hope we will be lucky enough to find other private tours in the future.
Read MoreWe did a 4 day trip of Romania with Bogdan which included 1-day hiking in the Carpathian Mountains. We of course toured brasov, sighisoara and sibiu. Bogdan exceeded our expectations - he is knowledgeable, passionate, honest and enthusiastic - a rare combination in this business. We enjoyed every moment and we look forward to coming back to this beautiful country and tour the delta-region with Bogdan in the near future.
