Fantastic Tour with Toni!
Amy_W, Nov 2021
Toni is an incredible tour guide! We had such a lovely day with him while learning about Romania, Transylvania and the Castles. Toni always made sure we were comfortable and incorporated breaks for coffee or the restroom all throughout the day. Toni is extremely knowledgeable and makes the tour very fun! He arranged tickets for us as well and made everything very easy. I cannot recommend the tour with Toni enough!

Toni was our guide who took us on this wonderful tour. He is like a walking encyclopedia of Romanian history. We learned so much from him and had a blast on this tour. Toni, call us if you are ever in Los Angeles.

Fantastic tour! Gotta go with Toni
Giuseppe, Jul 2021
Toni gave us an amazing tour! We came to Romania as part of our honeymoon and we couldn't have been with a better guide to make our trip unforgettable! Toni truly does care about sharing the history and culture of Romania ! And went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time! Would 1000% recommend. Thanks Toni again for everything!

Hi Giuseppe, Congratulations for getting married! I am very happy I could create beautiful memories for your honeymoon and I hope to see you again in Romania and explore other medieval cities in Transylvania. Best regards to you and your wife! Toni Cristian Tatar
Absolutely LOVELY day!!! HIGHLY recommend this tour AND guide!!
kd2226, Jul 2021
Before the day of our tour, I already knew it would be great. Toni was kind and responsibly enough to reach out prior to the tour to arrange a pickup time and location with us. He clearly meant it when he said we could reach out to him at any time with any questions we had about Romania or Bucharest. We had such an incredible day with Toni!! He was so friendly and came prepared with cold bottled water for us in the morning. He even grabbed us a coffee from a coffee shop on the way and offered to purchase extra waters for us later in the day. Throughout the trip, Toni was very helpful, giving us advice on what to do over our next few days in Bucharest and helping us arrange other activities/transport. He even went so far as to contact a business for us via telephone AND email to ask about their hours and COVID operation! Peles Castle was incredible (maybe even more so than Bran) even though we had never really heard of it. Toni was very knowledgeable about all the history of the castle and answered all of our curious questions. The grounds were lovely and it was so nice to be out of the city. He also knew all the best spots for photos and took a bunch of cute photos of me and my friend. Next we went to Bran and Toni waited for us outside. It was nice to see such a famous castle! The inside of the castle was interesting, but we were surprised that this was probably our least favorite of the things we saw on the tour. Make sure to go to the back gardens of the castle after the tour to get something akin to the famous view you see in the photos! There is also a little market with food and souvenirs of the castle which was fun to wander around. After we visited Bran, we went to lunch in the town outside the castle with Toni. He chose a great restaurant for us and helped us order some traditional Romanian food and desserts. It was very helpful to have him with us to choose a good restaurant, recommend food for us, and communicate with the waiters. After lunch, we drove to Brasov. There we walked through the main streets of the town to experience its atmosphere and main sights. Some highlights of the tour included framed bullet holes on a building from the anti-Communist revolution, the narrowest street in Europe, and the main Brasov square. Again, Toni is very knowledgeable about this history. During the car rides, Toni was very personable and answered all of our questions about Romania. He also was very conscious to stop every so often to let us use the bathroom. Toni made it very clear to us that our tour, because private, was flexible. He was kind enough to spend extra time with us so that the tour took 13 hours instead of 12, which we very much appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking to see the main sights near Bucharest. It seems that a day was the perfect amount of time for us to see these sights— the day wasn’t too utterly packed or rushed, but we certainly couldn’t have fit anything more in. I think it’s definitely worth it to see more than just Bran— as I mentioned, although it was what we were most looking forward to before the tour, it ended up being our least favorite of the incredible places Toni took us to! I would also highly recommend Toni as a tour guide for any customized tour you are thinking about in Romania. As long as he is available, he can cater to the length you’d like your tour to be and wherever you’d like to go, even including the Black Sea. He was so professional and conscientious, just the right personality for being a tour guide!! 😀

Dear Kathreen, What a fabulous review! I am so happy I could create such a great experience for you. It was my pleasure to meet you and show a part my beautiful country. Many thanks for choosing my tour! Best regards, Toni Cristian Tatar
An excellent way to spend the day
ASIF_R, Jul 2021
Toni is an excellent tour guide who has a lot of knowledge about the region. It was a very informative and fun tour. I also took another tour with Toni (the Communist era tour, in Bucharest) the following day. I would highly recommend booking both.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Many thanks for your review! I appreciate your nice recommendation and hope to see you again on your next business trip to Bucharest. As promised, I will take you to Sighisoara and Sibiu and explore more of Transylvania region. Best regards from Bucharest. Toni Cristian Tatar
