Welcome to Wise Transylvania Tours!
My name is Adrian Costin Ungureanu, although my friends know me as Adi. As a native of Brasov, one of the most beautiful and historically rich towns in the heart of Transylvania, I’ve had the privilege of being raised in an environment steeped in hospitality and tourism. My parents, Constantin and Valentina, run Casa Rasoveana, one of the top guesthouses in Rasnov, and La Promenada, the town’s best restaurant (check us out on TripAdvisor!).
With a Master’s degree in Tourism from Transylvania University and a National Tour Guide Certificate, I’ve turned my passion for welcoming visitors and showing them the wonders of Transylvania into a fulfilling vocation. This region of Romania offers some of the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring sights that you’ll ever experience.
Transylvania is not just a location on the map for me – it’s a passion. As a guide at Rasnov Fortress for 5 years, and a private tour guide freelancer for the past 7 years I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from all over the world and showcasing the breathtaking beauty and culture of this region. But my role doesn’t end there, during the years I’ve been part of a great team of passionate people organizing unforgettable events, from movie festivals and medieval reenactments to team building exercises, grand openings, and festive dinners. With my expertise and passion, I strive to make every experience in Transylvania truly unforgettable.
Join me on a tour of Transylvania, and let me show you the beauty, history, and charm of this enchanting region.
I can help you save your time and raise your knowledge about Transylvania / Romania by planing your private tour, provide transport in comfortable vehicles, arrange accommodation and great places to eat. You can come to me for help and advice on part or all of your vacation, from airport/rail pick-up to drop-off or for that special day out visiting some sights around.
My tours are tailored to your particular interests and enthusiasm and I will take great professional care of you, making your visit one to remember.
EXCELLENT Based on 183 reviews Quijo142025-02-24 Wonderful Castle Tour for the whole family We enjoyed a wonderful and informative tour of Peles Castle, Bran Castle and the Rasnov Fortress. Adrian is very knowledgeable about the history and we learned so many interesting things about the history of Romania and some of the rulers. His excitement on the subject was contagious and even my kids enjoyed learning and touring. We also stopped at his family’s restaurant and that was a really treat. The food was delicious and we tried some typical meals for the area. The pickup and Dropoff service was also very convenient for our family. bspence982024-12-22 Five Stars! Had a lovely outing to see Peles and Bran Castles with Adrian. A private tour allows you to spend more time at each and to soak in the history and beauty. Adrian is very knowledgeable and provided great insight into each place, as well as Romanian culture generally. Adrian is very personable and funny, which really added to the experience. Tad D2024-11-06 The best tour ever Hands down the best private tour I've had. Adrian was charming and his passion made for a very memorable day.

A very passionate & knowledgeable guide. Nothing was too much trouble for him. If you wanted to stop or see something on the side- no probemsWe thoroughly enjoyed our day & finished with a traditional meal at his father's restaurant. We had such a brilliant day - thanks Adrian. One of the best tour guides we have had in our travels. pete11562024-09-24 Fantastic Guide My wife and I booked a 4-day bespoke trip with Adrian visiting various sites around Transylvania, plus a trip to see the bears in the wild near Brasov, which was an amazing experience. We organised all our trips via email. Adrian is a fantastic guide with so much knowledge and such enthusiasm and passion for Romania, he went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Adrian is a fun guy to be around, we enjoyed our time with him and we had great conversations about various topics. We really enjoyed visiting the fortified churches of Viscri, Prejmer, Harman and Biertan to name a few. Adrian took us to his family restaurant where we tried the local cuisine which was excellent. If you are planning a visit to Transylvania we would highly recommend using Adrian as your tour guide. Claire W2024-09-12 If you select just one tour, it's got to be this one! We booked with Adrian for 3 days from our base in Brasov and everything could not have been more perfect. His knowledge is superb, second to none, and he is extremely flexible and accommodating. We would suggest you engage his services for a few days to get the most out of this area. We did mountain activities, cultural sightseeing including Bran Castle and the sublime Peles Castle (more like a royal palace) and watching bears in the wild, which is an experience we will never forget. Oh! And add in a very personal and exclusive wine tasting experience of Romanian wines and a top notch restaurant and you'll understand why we are raving about this so much! Thanks so much Adrian. lovetojourney2024-09-11 Best of the best! As others have stated Adrian has extraordinary knowledge and is so enthusiastic. At only 36 years old, he has wisdom and insight beyond his years. His business is aptly named. We loved every minute of our private tour despite the fact that one of us was unwell. Adrian was flexible and so caring. We started our tour a little later and sadly had to skip lunch at his father’s restaurant because of zero appetite. However none of this was a problem. On the contrary Adrian adapted the tour according to our depleted energy. Highly recommend reaching out to Adrian directly via his website and using WhatsApp in advance. Adrian recalled we preferred a particular date but he was booked that day, so initially went with plan B. He subsequently texted to say the other client had changed their date and he was now able to take us when we’d preferred with plan A. As it happened that extra day in bed the day helped us to better enjoy the tour. The details regarding the stunning interiors and artefacts of magnificent Peles Castle provided by Adrian were incredible. Made the visit far more meaningful and will resonate with us always. As will the real stories of life under the previous regime of terror. Adrian drives a luxury van and is the best of the best in every respect. Please contact him directly (very easy to find his contact details on line) so he can tailor your tour to suit you. Cannot recommend more highly! SpumoniSparklePony2024-08-03 Castlemania Adrian was a fantastic guide and I am pretty sure he knows the history of EVERYTHING Romania. We added the Cantacuzino Castle and had a great lunch at his father's restaurant. Note that Rasnov Fort is closed and you can only see the outside. DrPipping2024-08-02 Great day out. Top tour! We had a fantastic day with Adrian visiting Peles Castle, Bran castle and the Rasnov fortress. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking at a visit. Adrian's knowledge added so much to our tour and he was able to point out so many extra details at the castles it really enhanced our visit.It was so easy to organise and Adrian was right outside our hotel when he said he would be and took us out for a full day exploring Transylvania. We had a great time, learned alot and had fun.
