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.
ExcellentBased on 159 reviewsStefan J2024-06-02A must if you visit Romania. Adrien our tour guide was an incredible wealth of knowledge. As a history lover, the information, its relevance, and the human connection he made brought us into the world of the people and culture he explained to us at each location. My family and I have been in many guided tours, and we have never been on one as good as Adrien gave to us. Anyone who wants to learn and feel a part of Romania’s history should not miss this tour. It was incredible!AMMENOUCHE A2024-06-02Great experience Adrian is a great guide tour. He is made for this because he is really friendly, fun and has a good oratorical skill. Would highly recommendAndrew M2024-06-02Super day castle trip Our guideAdrian picked us up on time from our hotel in comfortable minivan . Adrian is an excellent guide and very knowledgable. We visited Peles Castle first then Râşnov Fortress. We had lunch at lovely restaurant and excellent goulash sitting outdoors with a beer. Then to Bran Castle later in day when crowds were less . Adrian is very friendly and accommodating and we had an excellent day, thanks Adrian ! Highly recommended .Robin H2024-05-30No better way to see Romania Adrian was a fantastic guide. Really friendly and helpful and hugely knowledgeable. He really brought to life both the sites that we visited and the context of Romanian history. Also, we do not speak a word of Romanian and Adrian's English is perfect. We did two one-day trips with him and both ran from 9am until 6pm or 7pm; he was never in a hurry and happy to give his time. We had completely private trips, just the two of us and Adrian in his immaculate Mercedes people carrier, so very comfortable. We cannot imagine a better way to see the country!Tania S2024-05-22Unforgettable Transylvanian Adventure with Adrian: A Must-Do Tour! I had an amazing tour with Adrian from Wise Transylvania Tours, visiting the bear sanctuary, Bran Castle, and Rasnov Fortress from Brasov. Adrian's passion and knowledge made the experience unforgettable. The bear sanctuary was heartwarming and informative, Bran Castle was rich with history and legends, and Rasnov Fortress offered stunning views and medieval insights. Adrian's storytelling and attentiveness added so much to the tour. Highly recommend this tour and guide for an authentic Transylvanian adventure. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Bel E2024-05-19Visit to Sighisiora The tour was only to Sighisoara. Because it was private, we decided not to go to Viscri and Our guide accommodated the visit according to our request. This is a very well preserved walled city with plenty of colorful buildings and interesting sites. Still standing 9 of the original defensive towers, in great state. It has come to my attention that tour guides in Romania, like in no other place, are excellent historians, with an intense passion for their country showing in their explanations. Adrian is one of them. I’m really thankful for the details, the recommendations and the services he provides. Without hesitation, recommended.Bel E2024-05-19Visiting Transylvania castles What to say that hasn't already been said? The tour was a lesson of history , told in an entertaining way. Adrian demonstrated, through all, his intense passion for his country not omitting relevant details. The itinerary was fulfilled as planned and our guide was reliable and flexible. Without any doubt I would recommend this guided visit.Tania S2024-05-19Unforgettable Transylvanian Adventure with Wise Transylvania Tours My partner and I had the pleasure of exploring Transylvania with Wise Transylvania Tours and our fantastic guide, Adrian. From Brasov, we journeyed to the captivating towns of Sighisoara, Viscri, and Rupea Fortress, each offering its own unique charm. Sighisoara's medieval streets and historic landmarks, expertly narrated by Adrian, transported us back in time. Viscri's tranquil beauty and traditional village life provided a delightful contrast, with Adrian's insights adding depth to our experience. Finally, Rupea Fortress offered panoramic views and a fascinating glimpse into the region's history, expertly explained by Adrian. Throughout the tour, Adrian's professionalism and passion for Transylvania shone through, making our day both informative and enjoyable. From start to finish, Wise Transylvania Tours exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend them for an authentic Transylvanian adventure. Thank you, Adrian!apbehan2024-05-18Fabulous day! We had the best day with Adrian, he was funny, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Every stop from the castles to the fort was perfect. The food at the restaurant Adrian took us to was excellent. The highlight for me was that Arian went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic day. Knowing how much I wanted to see a bear he kept a look out and we got lucky, able to observe from a safe distance this really made my day. He is also the best photographer, taking the time to get me the perfect shots. You honestly won’t be disappointed with this tripBeatrice G2024-05-12Best tour guide We recently had the pleasure to visit Transylvania with our friends, and I must say that our tour guide, Adrian, was nothing short of exceptional.
