Awesome guide. - My guide was outstanding. He was talkative engaging and very knowledgeable. I thought it was great when topics went into history and ever personal views. He had water and snacks. The palace ok but the highlight was the tomb. Overall great!

The end of the hunt for Vlad the Impaler! - Bogdan was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and a good driver. He picked us and we had a short drive to Mogosoaia Palace. Not too much to see, but Bogdan provided a fair back story on the building and its history. A later good to know was that the exterior of the building and some other portions were used in the movie “The Nun”. Once we walked the gardens, we were off to Snagov Monastery. While we were crossing the bridge, Bogdan pointed out the Ceausescu palace that he flew to during the revolution. Before we entered, Bogdan shared some information with us and answered some of our questions and in we went. Good to know fact is that you will need cash. Dreamlike Journeys provided a very well done break out of costs, but I didn’t recall it was a cash only location…Needless to say, we paid our fees (including per camera costs) and in we went. Very small, well decorated and is worth the trip if you are a huge Vlad the Impaler fan. Because we booked the tour on a Sunday, the traffic was ultra-light and we were actually ahead of schedule. Knowing this, Bogdan offered us three options: • Coffee shop stop • Private Car Museum • Head back to hotel. We selected the car museum and were not disappointed. The Tiriac Collection was totally worth the visit and the collection was laid out pretty well and the cars were simply amazing! Once we were done, Bogdan delivered us back to our hotel safe and sound. Awesome time for us and would highly recommend this tour if you are chasing Vlad around Romania!

Wow! - These were amazing sites and we would have missed them without Sebastian’s knowledge. The secluded Snagov monastery is so beautiful that I couldn’t stop taking pictures! Both were also very rich with history. Sebastian is a very friendly, informative, and humorous. We have enjoyed his tours so much, that this was the third day that we spent with him while in Romania. After each location that we visited he sent us dozens of pictures from each site. It was a wonderful and unexpected surprise to receive so many pictures of us and the places we visited. Sebastian really goes out of his way to make your trip wonderful. We highly recommend visiting these sites with Sebastian as your guide.

History lesson - Having used Sebastian the previous day and with half a day to spare before my late afternoon flight i took this local private tour with him. Comprehensive drive round tour of Bucharest with a short stop at the Ceausescu House/museum and then to the impressive Mogosoaia Palace finishing at the small but beautiful Snagov Monastery set on an island all the while with a full description of all the places. A worthwhile trip - thank you
