Forget about legends and come with us to see the real Vlad the Impaler Royal Court and his Fortress in Poienari village, a place where Vlad use to hide the gold of the country! On the way we'll stop to see Curtea de Arges Monastery - a real beauty of the Royal Family and a place where are the graves of the Romanian Kings! Also, nearby there is the biggest dam in Romania - Vidraru Dam! Get your camera ready :)

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Nicolas as our guide!!!! He picked us up at the hotel, was personable, friendly, and flexible. An extremely knowledgable guide, Nicolas was open to any question and shared an abundance of information about Romania. Seeing Targivoste, climbing the Sunset Tower, visiting the monasteries, and checking out the dam was amazing. Nicolas knows the land, the sites, and the people. Highly recommend traveling with him! We will definitely book with Nicolas when we return to Bucharest!

Our theme for our vacation as walking in the footsteps of Vlad the Impaler and you can’t have this theme and not make Targoviste princely court your first stop! Our guide/driver for the day was Nicu. Nicu was punctual, professional, well informed and a very safe driver. Through discussions with Nicolas at the office, we were aware that Poenari was not open for tourism. This wasn’t posted on their site, but I advise that you check before you go because there are really only two well known structure created by Vlad the Impaler, Chindiei Tower and Poenari Fortress. Through these discussions we were able to modify the tour to include the National Military Museum instead of the long drive to Poenari for a peek from a distance. Nicu walked us around and provided good intel about the church, ruins and the tower. Once completed (and some ice cream consumed outside the gate {it was hot} we headed back to Bucharest to the Military Museum. I have to say, I have traveled around seeing many military museums, but this one was probably in the top five. Highly organized, lots of actual mementos on display and Nicu brought good insight throughout all periods of the museum. Only bummer was the tanks that are kept at the site were down for repair/renovation and we were not able to view them. After the museum, Nicu took us to nice restaurant where we enjoyed the meal. Portions are crazy, so we couldn’t finish all that we were provided (except the beer of course). Next, because we modified our tour and were very efficient guests, Nicu offered to take us around Bucharest for a little site seeing tour. Great intel was shared and locations were pretty interesting ending at Palace of the Parliament. Wow, can you say excessive? After the little city tour, we were delivered safe and sound back to our hotel. We recommend this tour and suggest asking for Nicu because he’s pretty good at what he does!

Such an amazing tour! we visited several places, each with a meaningful historical background for the country, specially about Vlad Tepes legacy.
Tour guide was very friendly and kept a nice conversation and profesionalism, even when Poenari castle was closed, he filled the time with other nice places around and the oportunity to try traditional food, I learnt a lot thanks to his knowledge of every place we saw.
