Thank you for a nicely organized, well-executed and very enjoyable trip! It was a nice, small group, and a long-awaited, surprising destination.

We knew we were in for a wonderful hike in Transylvania, but this exceeded our expectations. The scenery was beautiful and varied, rolling hills, riverside walks with impressive caves, mysterious large beech forests and the Carpathian Mountains. It was all perfectly managed by Gloria and Nora with their knowledge of history and culture and generous smiles. There were a number of delays for the trip to happen, due to the pandemic, but Gloria, through hard work and patience, finally gave us the thumbs up to go. There were nine of us and we couldn't have asked for a more relaxed, fun and at the same time engaging trip together.

We would like to thank you for an educational and enjoyable trip. We are very used to traveling and have done many group trips. This one outshines most. It gave us exciting insights into Transylvanian society, both in terms of present and history, as well as city and countryside. Our group also became very close-knit. We have never before experienced everyone in the group hugging each other at the airport at the end, as an expression of a successful trip and fond memories. Many thanks!

Charming, beautiful small towns/villages with both old and new buildings. Visited a sheep farmer family and a priest family and were very well looked after. There were interesting encounters! Surprised by the very nice nature. Forests, parks and agricultural landscapes. Many beautiful old churches, monasteries and castles/palaces. Nice restaurants with usually a lot of and good food. A fun and interesting trip with our nice guide Gloria Andersson and her sister Nora. Really recommend this trip.

Who would have thought that smoked or pine bark-aged cheese could taste so delicious? After a short trip to the market below Bran Castle, to buy cheese of course, we set off on a bear safari. In the neighboring village we met the guide and the other tourists who were going with us, all with binoculars and the largest camera lenses at full capacity. The nervousness of going out into nature where there are proven bears was mixed with an attempt to dampen our hopes. There was no guarantee that the bears would show up. But those worries turned out to be completely unfounded. A total of nine different bears showed up at the food stand, at most six at a time, during the two hours we were there. A fascinating sight to sit safely up in the lookout cabin and observe the wild bears. An unforgettable weekend, full of new experiences. So beautiful, so interesting, such good food and such nice people. Already looking forward to the next visit.

With our nice hotel as a base, we explored the best of Transylvania from our comfortable minibus. The guide Nora was an important part of our positive experience! Through her kindness and warmth we got an insight into everyday life in Transylvania. One of the highlights for the whole group was being invited to a cake tasting at Nora's family's home! I would highly recommend Transylvania as a destination and Nora as a guide!

You might wonder why we chose Transylvania as our conference location. At Novare, we have always been trendsetters, not only in the industry but also in how and where we hold conferences. We thought Transylvania offered a different environment to discuss how we can develop our corporate culture and strategy. The people who run Experience Transylvania are enthusiastic, committed and have a great sense of service, which was confirmed throughout the conference. Transylvania is also a beautiful part of Romania, which offers many surprises

After visiting more than 70 countries, most of them on my own, I wanted to experience something new and different. I was attracted by the nature experiences and the opportunity to visit Dracula's castle. The trip to Transylvania is one of the best tours I have been on in my entire life. A very well-organized trip, where everything worked great. Gloria brought a fantastic energy and was a wonderful guide with her solid knowledge and big smile.

Such a personal and generous treatment that we have received from you is unique. I would like to recommend Experience Transylvania as a contact for Romania to my friends and acquaintances. The stay in Romania itself was very positive: it is easy to travel, it is beautiful, the people we have met have been interested and friendly, the hotels have been very nice, especially in Sinaia and Sibiu. Thank you for letting us contact you as much as we wanted! Great!

We celebrated my dad's birthday by traveling to Transylvania and Bucharest. We had a fun and relaxed trip: we ate good food, drank very good wine especially in Brasov and had a great time everywhere we went, from Sibiu to Bucharest. The trip was so well and flexibly organized, we managed to see all the sights we were interested in without feeling the least bit stressed. Now we are looking forward to a golf trip to Transylvania.
