We had the most wonderful time touring Transylvania with Mihai in late October. When I first suggested this trip to our 15 year old son, he was worried that a historic and scenic tour might be a bit boring but within a few hours, he was engrossed and is now raving about the trip to all his friends. And no wonder – our first day involved driving the Transfagarasan (as featured on Top Gear), a close (but safe) encounter with a wild bear, a traditional dinner in a medieval cellar before returning to a lovely, great value hotel recommended and booked for us by Mihai. And that was just the first day! There was much more to come including seeing a traditional Gypsy craftsman at work and exploring Bran Castle on Halloween. As you’ll read on other reviews, Mihai is a superb guide and driver and is incredibly knowledgeable about…well, everything! We learned so much, not just about the history of this fascinating country but about contemporary issues too. Mihai arranged everything for us, ensuring this was a stress free trip. He personalized the itinerary for us, suggested visiting sites we’d never have come across as well as incorporating the “must see” stops such as Bran and Peles Castle. He gave us a choice of hotels in each location, all of which were excellent. From the moment he picked us up from our Bucharest hotel, to when he dropped us at the airport, he went out of his way to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. It really felt as if we were being shown round by an old friend! I would absolutely recommend Mihai to anyone. If you are considering touring Romania, then don’t hesitate to book him – you won’t regret it, I promise.
