I first booked a tour through Florin travela agency to visit Sarmisegetusa and I was very happy with the responsiveness in communicating. However, I was completely impressed by Florin during tour because of how well he communicates his vast knowledge of the sites we visited. Even when the weather on the day of the tour caused one site to be inaccessible, he swiftly made a change in course and took me to an alternate site which wound up being AMAZING! He truly went above & beyond to ensure I had a great experience, even despite me not feeling well. I enjoyed the day so much I booked another tour for later in the week to Turda Salt Mine & Alba Iulia. Once again, I found myself not just enjoying the tour sites, but whole experience with Florin….touring with him is like taking a road trip with your best friend, only your best friend happens to be an expert insider!
Myself and 3 friends visited Sibiu at the beginning of September. After being put off at the potential costs of other organised coach tours I did a bit of research and discovered that a personal guide may actually be more cost effective. Florin kindly tailored our two one day trips with him to the points of interest we wanted to see – Liberty Bear sanctuary and Bran Castle, and the Turda Salt mines and Sighişoara. They were both long days driving but Florin was very patient and never rushed us, we may have driven him slightly crazy with our lively 40 something banter! He suggested a place for us to eat both days that was reasonably priced and good value for both taste and service. As with all the other reviews you can see we can confirm his knowledge of both Romanian history and modern culture is excellent. We’d definitely recommend booking a trip :-)
We had two great days with Florin taking us to a number of places (tour of Sighisoara and Sibiu, the fortified churches Valea Viilor, Biertan and Prejmer, The Bran Castle and Zarnesti Bear Sanctuary). Everything was very convenient and it felt like a very good way to see a lot in a short space of time. Recommended!

I found Florin online and booked a tour to Bran castle with him from Sibiu. Florin was quick at responding and very helpful. The tour was great, very informative and Florin is a nice guy to talk to about lots of different topics. I subsequently booked a second tour with him to Corvin castle. I would totally recommend Florin and his company for your tours from Sibiu. Thanks again Florin!
Florin took us to Bran Castle and Brasov from Sibiu and we could not be happier with the experience. He was knowledgable and friendly and very patient with our inquisitive eleven-year-old. He was kind enough to answer a variety of questions for us from culture to history to customs to language. We felt very comfortable with him and enjoyed the day very much. If you are on the fence about booking a trip, do not hesitate! You will be in good hands here
