Ultimate Transfagarasan: Epic Carpathian Road Trip from Brasov

Florin was a great guide and friend for the day. He picked us up on time and took us on the Transfargasaran Road. It was stunning. Once at the top there are street traders selling local goods and street food. Beautiful lake up there as well. We were lucky enough to see a young brown bear on the way down next to the road as well. Plus we drove through 2 herds of sheep. We had a great day out with Florin. Thanks Florin. From Richard and Tracey

Florin is a fantastic guide. I had a private tour with him and he allowed me to make changes and adapt the tour to my interests. Florin is an expert on the area, and at the start of the tour he showed me a map and pointed out my options so I could decide which stops would suit my needs best. He taught me a lot about the history and culture of Romania. Transylvania is so beautiful and unique! I only did a day trip with Florin but I recommend booking several days traveling around the area with Florin.

A fabulous day with a bit of everything! Interesting history, walking and stunning mountain scenery. Great spots from were to take photos of the Transfagaraşan. Having Florin's explanations and knowledge was incredibly valuable.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful photos. However, our tour guide Florin did not provide much clarity in instructions and would often wait in his car for us or have us walk and then pick us up. At the beginning of the tour he went on an explanation about the waterfall for 10 minutes then told us he will wait for us here while we go look. This miscommunication resulted in him not being happy with us because we went further than he wanted us to and angrily said that we weren't supposed to do that and there's not enough time. This miscommunication occurred because he sent us off by ourselves while he stood in the parking lot on his phone. He should've been with us the entire time throughout the tour. As I wrote in a comment for a different tour with Florin, if you don't know what questions to ask then the car ride is going to be silent. There's no tour pitch about where we are going and the history. My group would try to ask questions and he wouldn't answer them completely. I recommend the tour only for it being an easy way to get around and see the main tourist spots.

This was the first time of my sister and me booking a private tour and our experience was really nice. It's cool there is a chance to go see the road with a tour because if you don't have a car it will become a problem. We want to thank Florin for taking good care of us during the trip. He told us a bit of history of Romania and the places we visited, took some photos for us and was very patient about our excitmenet. Also kudos to Florin for safe driving because we were a bit worried about the road. We definitely will recommend him for our friends if one day they decide to visit Romania!

Florin is an amazing guide and knew all the great spots for photos of the Transfagarasan. We are really glad we went with his suggestions and his timing was impeccable. We asked if we could make sure to be back in time for our train and he was very considerate of the time for each part of our journey so we could see literally everything AND be back for our train with enough time to spare! This tour is definitely worth doing rather than renting a car on your own. Having Florin's explanations and knowledge was incredibly valuable.

Firstly let us start by saying how happy we were to have booked this tour! We will definitely use it again. Thank you Florin for taking such care of us and making this such a great experience, we also really enjoyed all the stopping points and the wonderful landscape. We would reccommend this service to any friends and family etc

Florin is an excellent tour guide and driver. He offers a lot of tours and we did the Transfagarasan Highroad Tour from Brasov that lasted the whole day with him. He shows the perfect spots for you to get the best view of the beautiful Carpathian and Fagarasan Mountains and leaves enough time for taking breaks, pictures and just nice walks to relax from the long car ride you have to do, to get to watch all this beauty of Romanian landscape. Florin is very knowledgeable about the history and geography of Romania and offers you a lot of insights into Romanian culture and everyday life. I wish Florin the best with his investment in a new bigger and more comfortable car for the trips, because at the moment his car is more suited to do trips with no more than 3 people that would be the only point that I would criticise about the trip.

Florin was an amazing guide. We had asked for a change of itinerary , having as a drop off Sibiu instead of heading back to Brasov and not only did he agree, he gave us options in how to make It work. He also gave us plenty of time in all locations and was insightful and he made the whole trip feel like a real adventure. Can't recommend him enough. Definitely our favourite guide!!!

<p>This tour started off well but ended up being long and boring. The driver was nice enough but was too involved and made us feel rushed also we didn't get a moment to ourselves to enjoy the scenery as he was constantly there rushing us along. <br/> The first part of the day going up to Balea lake was really great but I wish we would have just turned around and gone back down on Transfagarasean and made it back to Brasov with time to spare. Instead we went down on the other side of the mountain, went to the dam which was cool but not worth it and then after that it was just a 3-4 hour ordeal going thought boring villages with bad roads, not much scenery or any other attraction points that we were interested in. <br/> I know that this was all advertised and I knew that we would not return down Transfagarasean but I really wish we did as the drive back was exhausting and pointless. Also the driver was not a guide, just a driver so we drove in silence for most of the day, I ended up listening to a podcast on the way back as I could not take the silence anymore. <br/> It was ok but could have been much much better.</p>
