“Very pleased with our driver/guide, the Mercedes van he brought, and his timeliness. We had an excellent day visiting castles and palaces, churches and restaurants. When the line at "Dracula's Castle" looked incredibly daunting (maybe an hour of more wait), he had us wait in line and then went to front to get us tickets. Then he got us in at the front of the line without the rest of line noticing. Would highly recommend this company and guide.”
