I'm Happy To be your Guide in Transylvania, Romania

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.

Adrian = legendary host and guide👍 We hired Adrian for two days to show us around and he was exceptional in all respects. Hospitable, very knowledgeable, considerate, really easy to get on with and very approachable for our questions. His vehicle was very clean, spacious so it made the journey very comfortable. I am a native English speaker and his English is faultless. Really very happy with everything, I have recommended to friends and won't hesitate to hire for our part 2 of the trip early next year

The Best Tour we have ever been on! Adrian, the tour guide, is fantastic. His English is excellent and his knowledge of history is first rate. He kept us captivated throughout. He knows so much in depth history of the locations (and of Romania) in general. These locations are a must visit in Romania, and added with Adrian’s first rate knowledge, this tour is a must do! Line skip is also included so no waiting in the big queues, and his transport ensures you travel to all the locations in comfort. The restaurant visited for lunch is also very good, where you can try traditional Romanian food.

Pele, Brandon and Rasnov Day trip Adrian was excellent. He was so informative and passionate about the history of the places we visited. We were very lucky to have his personal attention and he definitely added 'flesh to the bones' about the little we knew of the history. Just wish we could have been able to go inside Rasnov. It will just be a great excuse to go back Thanks heaps Adrian for the best of days. Christine NZ

Bucegi mountains The guide was amazing, very patient and knowledgable about the history of romania, which I enjoyed learning. The hike was amazing, even though I didn't make it to the top, the views were amazing. Best tour and guide. I highly recommend.

Best Tour in Transvylvania My partner and I just spent 3 days with Adrian in Transylvania. What a refreshing change it was to have a private tour guide all to ourselves! We had just finished a Viking river cruise where we were herded like sheep in groups of 30+ people on several city tours. Adrian picked us up at our hotel in Bucharest to start the tour. Some folks from the ship went on Viking's optional Transylvania excursion from Bucharest. While we rode in a comfortable Mercedes van with Adrian, they rode on a crowded bus. Adrian clearly loves his country and was passionate about sharing his knowledge with us. On this tour, we visited Rasnov Fortress, Peles Castle, Bran Castle, and the town of Brasov. Adrian makes the history of these places come alive with his interesting narratives about the people who lived here and the circumstances of their lives. Our tour included 2 nights in Rasnov at the lovely guesthouse, Casa Rasnoveana, with a delicious breakfast included. Adrian's father owns a restaurant within walking distance of the guesthouse. We had lunch and dinner there. The food and wine were outstanding. If you want to learn a lot about Romania and have a great time too, Adrian is your guy! He can plan an itinerary based on your available time and interests, and his tours are very reasonably priced as well. We hope to return one day and do some hiking and brown bear viewing with Adrian!

Great and recommended Adrian is great, and I highly recommend him for any hiking / non-hiking tours. He knows a lot about Romanian history and is interesting to talk to; flexible in planning (even on short notice); helpful and happy to answer questions. We did a day hike in Bucegi from Brasov, and Adrian was good at tailoring / adjusting plans as needed. He has a good sense of humor and was patient when I was slow. I spent about two weeks in Romania, and the hike / conversation with Adrian was one of the highlights.

Amazing and Informative Tour! Adrian was an incredible tour guide and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It's amazing how much knowledge Adrian has about the history of Romania. Before the tour, I did not know much about Romanian history. Through Adrian's storytelling and narratives, I learned so much interesting information. Adrian drove me to see all of the castles and walked me through them as well, offering background and historical information throughout the day. We also stopped for a great lunch. If you plan on visiting the castles near Brasov, I highly recommend this tour with Adrian. He is a down-to-earth guy and you will enjoy your time, see interesting historical sights, and learn a lot.

Amazing Hiking Tour in the Carpatian Mountains I booked the 1-day hiking tour in Bucegi Natural Park with Adrian and had a wonderful day: Pristine nature, spectacular panoramic views from the mountains and a silence that is hard to experience in Central Europe. Adrian was a great guide who did not only show the way, but individualized the tour according to my preferences and my physical fitness, I wouldn't have found and made this hike by myself. Not to mention his thorough explanations of the natural park and the insight into everyday life and history of Romania that he gave me. His good sense of humor made the sometimes strenuous hike go easier. I highly recommend this tour for both individual travelers and groups at all levels of hiking experience who want to experience nature and love the mountains.

Wonderful Introduction to Transylvania I feel so fortunate to have chosen the Wise Transylvania Tour to Peles Castle, Bran Castle and Rasov fortress ruins. Adrian is an historian and his narrative makes local history from the time of the Dacians feel alive with his vivid portraits of heroes, heroines and villains. And of course, the sites are beautiful and worth a visit. The lunch stop at promenade Restaurant was a great choice - a leafy spot away from the crowds and excellent food. As others have written, I feel that I made a new friend! I only regret that my schedule only allowed for one tour!

Personal guided tour from Rasnov City. It was an amazing experience to have a private tour, to choose the places we wanted to see and to follow Adrian advice to drive on Transfagarasan route to Balea Lake challey. It is a wonderful view of Fagaras Mt. all around. We visited Valea Cetatii Cave, The Simca early underground church, the Cistercian catholic church founded in 1098 as well as the ruins of the first cistercian church. Very interesting. Guide Adrian is a professional guide showing his wide knowledge about history. He is very accommodating stoping the car everywhere we wanted. I recommend him as a very pleasant person who creates a great atmosphere in the car while he is driving. He advised us the best restaurant in Rasnov - La Promenada that is a la carte with inside and outside tables and a place where the children can play. You can ask for a delivery at wherever you stay. I recommend Casa Rasnoveana pension where we stayed very comfortable. This place offers you a very good breakfast.
