Terrific Blend of Historical Perspective and Local Knowledge Adrian's enthusiasm for Romania's history and culture is infectious. Due to my own scheduling error, our plans for a two-day tour were compressed into 13 hours of almost non-stop, fact-filled, entertaining story-telling, bringing me from 200 BC to the current day. Adrian's local knowledge regarding the historical sites allowed him to share special insights throughout each visit. Knowing I had a strong interest in history, he went into significant detail and answered my numerous questions well. I had a wonderful time and recommend Adrian highly.

Romania trip I booked a 2 day tour with Adrian and it didn’t disappoint! His knowledge of the local area and history was fantastic. We recommend booking with wise Transylvania tours it was excellent start to finish

Fantastic You will not be disappointed with the service provided by Adrian. I'm so pleased that we were able to take this my husbands last trip = he passed in September. Thank you Adrian for all the steps. Ellie Muellen

Be wise and book a tour with Adrian My mother and I did the 3 day Transylvania Break tour with Adrian. From start to finish, we had a wonderful time. Adrian was very easy to correspond with beforehand and he happily changed the order of some things in the tour to make it more suited to our agenda - he’s very flexible about doing this, so just ask. He also answered any questions I had about Transylvania which made it easier to plan our holiday. On day 1, Adrian collected us from our hotel in Bucharest and drove us from the city to Sinaia where we saw Peleș Castle. I was immediately glad we decided to go with Adrian and not rent a car and see the castle ourselves because 1. the traffic was bad in Bucharest and there was fog along the motorway, and 2. the in-depth tour of Peleș was far superior to a group tour. Adrian really knows his stuff. We also saw Brân Castle and Râşnov Fortress, and had similar in-depth tours of both. We had dinner at his father’s restaurant in Râşnov which was some of the best food we had during our trip. We stayed in his mother’s guest house which was cosy and clean. His mother was extremely welcoming. Day 2, we went to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary which was my favourite part of the entire holiday...what a special place. We joined a guided tour of the sanctuary and saw a number of brown bears. We also saw Prejmer fortified church and Braşov which were both excellent. Adrian kindly drove us to the ski resort above Braşov to show us how it is. Lovely views and nature there. Day 3, and our final day - Adrian knew we were interested in seeing Viscri village (where Prince Charles has a house) so he added an additional stop to the tour and took us here. Viscri was like going back in time and well worth it. Next was Sighisoara which exceeded expectations...it was so pretty. We also visited Biertan fortified church...it’s crazy how old some of the items in this church are. Our final stop was Sibiu where Adrian dropped us to our hotel. It was an incredible three days and we were sad to say good bye. So to summarise, go with Adrian because: 1. He has a huge wealth of knowledge about the area and a genuine passion for what he does. There’s no way we could have gained this much information by ourselves. 2. He’s a safe driver with a comfortable car. And he’s got good music taste which helps the journey! 3. His mother is a lovely woman and very welcoming. Staying at her guesthouse is a joy (her omelettes at breakfast were outstanding!). 4. He’s great company and a very lovely and genuine guy. After he dropped us off in Sibiu, my mother and I felt a bit sad because we missed him! He is a great ambassador for Transylvania. Thank you Adrian...we had great craic with you! Hopefully see you again...maybe for some snowboarding next time 😉

The best start of holiday 🙂 We did a three day tour with Adrian that included a lot of great places of Transyvania and every day was full of positive and kind atmosphere. When you get to know a new place in the company of a enthusiastic person, it's very easy to fall in love with the beauty of nature or architecture that surround you. And Adrian is so kind of person who inspires to move and look around. I've learned many interesting facts about places we visited and Romania in whole. Most of all it was like a trip with old friend. And pancakes! Pancakes nearby Bran Castle was marvelous! :)) I'm very happy that I chose this tour and I give a 5 star to it.

Amazing 5 Star Tour Guide/Driver & Local Friend! First time traveling to Brasov as a solo female and Adrian was like a local friend who made me feel safe. I booked a round-trip airport transfer from Bucharest to Brasov with visits to Rasnov and Bran. The drive was long due to traffic but Adrian made the ride pleasant with stimulating conservation. He is a safe driver, knowledgeable about Romania history/culture, friendly and funny - I enjoyed sharing laughs about life. Adrian is also an amazing iPhone photographer who took Instagram worthy photos - yay no need for a selfie stick! We also had delicious local food at his father’s restaurant Promenade which I would recommend. Thank you again for your positive energy and creating special memories along with beautiful photos that will last forever! Your hospitality is sincerely appreciated!

The transfer was fairly priced compared to other companies but Wise Transylvania provides a 5 Star authentic experience that is priceless.

Adrian is THE guide. Adrian was truly a dream guide for our 8 person group. He was so patient, personal and all around wonderful with us. We loved his knowledge of the history of the places we visited which enhanced our experience so much more. We had several days in Transylvania and were so glad to stay at his parents' bed and breakfast in Râșnov, near Brașov. This was a central location and we could do day trips from there. We packed a lot into our days with him and he customized the tour based on our wishes and of course, recommended other places and restaurants we didn't know about. Our trip was made much better by Adrian and his family and for that we are extremely grateful. I fully recommend his services. Romania has a lot of beautiful places and Adrian is the one to show them to you. I'm originally from Romania and I know from experience that his experience and services are above all the rest.

What a day !! We had booked a visit to Bran Castle and a brandy brewery nearby. We also was lucky enough to have lunch together at the La Promenada restaurant i Rasnov. Also a first class experience. A separate review for that. Because my sister is sick there was some challenges to make the trip but Adrian was so helpfull and attentive that the tour went so much easier than we had expected. His knowledge of Romanian history is amazing. We learned so much and it was never boring. Lot of fun facts together with the more serieous history. I cannot recommend Adrian and his tours enough and really hope I can go back to Transylvania and Romania some day. There is so much more to se and of course we will book a tour with Adrian and his company 🙂 I would not hesitate to recommend his tours to anyone going to Transylvania

Day tour "Bran Castle - Rasnov Fortress - Bear Sanctuary" for Wednesday July 17 The tour was indeed very nice and worth every cent. We (2 female travellers) were picked up at 9 a.m. at our hotel. No other travellers joined our tour. The car was comfortable and had air conditioning. During the drive our tour guide Adrian explained the history of the region. First we visited the bear sanctuary for formerly mistreated bears (my personal highlight!). Contary to what we expected Adrian entered all 3 sights with us and gave as private tours of both the castle and the fortress. Although there was a tour organised by the bear sanctuary, Adriam joined us for this tour and complemented it with valuable information and anecdotes. His knowledge of the region and its history is truely impressive. He also answered all our questions competently and with a sense of humor. The feel of the trip was almost like travelling with a very knowlegable friend who is eager to show what his region has to offer with pride and joy. The trip ended around 4 p.m. in front of our hotel.

Wow! Best Tour Ever! We were a group of 6 visiting Transylvania for the first time before taking a Viking cruise from Bucharest to Budapest. Adrian picked us up at the airport - arranged for rooms at his mothers B&B and guided us for 3 full days before dropping us off at our hotel in Bucharest. There are not word to describe what a wonderful customized experience this was. As a travel professional that has traveled extensively, this was by far the BEST tour & guide that our group has ever experienced. We were even taken to a Bear Sanctuary, where it was our groups pleasure to adopt our own bear, Ode. If it is our good fortune to ever return to Transylvania Adrian - you'll be hearing from us.
