Tour was amazing. Our guide Emanuel was the best, he gave us so many information about history, culturel and social life, food and drinks, urbanization and environment. He responded all our questions kindly. We wish we had more time in Brasov, because it was a lovely city and there was no time to expolere it. We think we will go to Brasov again to spend much more time. Thanks for everyting, loves form Türkiye.

Alex was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and approachable. My only complaint would be that the people in the back of the van could not hear most of his commentary. A little microphone would be a big help. Also the van seats were a little uncomfortable for such a long ride.
