Excellent tour made even better by an outstanding guide. It is rare to find a guide of this intelligence and knowledge. The palace is so interesting in such a lovely peaceful place. I still don't know if this was Prince Vlad's tomb (note, NOT Dracula!) but interesting to see.

This was a nice way to see 3 places just outside of Bucharest. The monastery was very peaceful to explore. I loved Snagov monastery on the lake island and seeing Vlad's tomb. They had a whole family of friendly dogs and other animals to enjoy too. The palace was a nice stop and beautiful setting on a lake, even though we couldn't see inside. I appreciated Andriy's laid-back style and being able to just take time to enjoy each place.

All three sites visited were really good ones to visit. They’re each different in their own way. Vlad, the Impaler’s grave was quite exciting to see. The castle is full of really fine artifacts for that. And also very interesting. The last monastery is exceptional, and it’s representation of the orthodox faith.

Really had a great day with Toni. He let me set the pace of the trip, took pictures for me (I have terrible selfie skills) and acted as an interpreter for me with a Nun and two.Priests. would definitely use him again!

Our tour guide was very pleasant and professional. We did not receive a lot of information regarding the sites we visited and he did not accompany us into the sites. Also, because it was a Sunday, services were being held at the times of the visits, making it difficult to explore in detail.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi John,
Thank you for your review.
Even if the Sundays are more busier and the sites cannot be visited as historical places, the church services are something special in these beautiful monasteries.
See you next time.

Our tour guide, Tony, is a native of this area with a great deal of knowledge about the history, an authentic insight into the culture, converses in almost flawless English, and is polite, fun to be with and so thoughtful in making this tour a truly memorable experience for each of us. He welcomed all sorts of questions from best restaurants to his own childhood experiences. We have been on many tours before but this is truly one we won't forget. Bravo, Tony!!!

Fantastic and knowledgeable guide. He was also one of the kindest and most thoughtful person we've met. He showed us the candel lighting tradition in the orthodox church and that was very special.
