You can’t miss this experience! - Wonderful tour!
The tour started on time. The bus is really comfortable and Daniel the driver is extremely caring about his task, excellent driver.
Our guide Peter gave us all historical knowledge to understand Romanian history from the beginning. Also provides all the historical information we need to know about the castles and places that we visited.
We loved his humor, his clarity to explain everything, he is really entertaining.
He is also carrying about the group and about the comfort, always explaining the following steps and options.
Is a long way back and forth, about 12 or 13 hours, but definitely worth it.

A great day out, very well organised - Great day trip! Long day but worth it!! Glad was a great tour guide, he really knew his stuff plus he went above and beyond. He offered to take us round Brasov if we wanted rather than on our own plus he rearranged the day so that we wouldn’t be queueing in the rain. That way also we saved the best til last….peles castle, simply stunning inside
100% recommend

Fantastic tour - Absolutely worth the money! Our tour guide Otilia was fantastic and told us all about the history of Romania during our trip. Peles castle is beautiful and the tour is very informative, and Brasov is a must visit!

Dreams come true - It was ann amazing experience!
Our tour guide Otilia made sure that everything went smoothly and explained to me and my friend all about the Peles castle. It was my dream to visit this castle and it finally came true during this tour.

The guide Otilia was very... - The guide Otilia was very competent and fun but the tour was too crowded (too many reservations for the same tour). Daniel's driving was really smooth.

Day trip with Vlad - We had a lovely day, our tour guide Vlad and driver were very informative and friendly. We had no queues at Bran and Peles castles which were good as our tour guide Vlad decided to go counterclockwise due to the bad weather. We visited Brasow which is very picturesque and is worth a trip on it's own.

Interesting, time well spent - It is overall well enjoyable and interesting. Everything promised in the description was also carried out.
Communication about the general rules for group travel can be formulated respectfully. We're all grown people.
I wrote about the trip in more detail in my blog - see photo.

Mrs - My husband and my name was not on the list for the tour to Dracula castle . We were told that the bus was full but somehow asked us to get in.
I am on a tour and not to get stressed about it. I would definitely not recommend this tour company for anyone who would like to use this tour and the company.
