This was a really good excursion to three beautiful locations. Vlad was a great guide - very friendly, knowledgeable, and keen to help.

I think a better way of how to get back to the bus may be a signage or landmark because some of tourist got lost going back to the bus.

Adriana was a great guide, we had a problem with the reservation and she was the only one to care and help us solve it. She was very kind and comprehensive with us. And she did a great job with the explanations of the different places we visited. We Really recommend her.

I travelled with my partner, mum (who is a pensioner) and my daughter (who has Down's Syndrome) for context. Communication with the tour company was great, they Whatsapped us the meeting details, a link on Google maps and answered any questions we had. Sonia, the tour guide was great with us, very understanding and helpful. Peles Castle My daughter has walking difficulties, and she's not in a wheelchair. There are stairs involved, both up and down. Most have bannisters. There's not a huge amount but more so on the way down. There's a lot of flat surfaces, lots of rooms to look in. It's quite a large castle. Free for carer and disabled person. Bran Castle. Free for carer and disabled person. You do have to prove with documents. (My daughter has downs syndrome, which you can clearly see and they still wanted proof) The access card worked for us from the UK. There is a lift, which they don't tell you about. For those that can walk, there are a lot of steep winding stairs. I recommend

Absolutely amazing day trip to Bran Castle, Peleș Castle, and Brașov with our incredible guide, **Sonia**! From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, and full of fascinating knowledge. Peleș Castle was breathtaking, and Sonia’s stories made history come alive. At Bran Castle, she brilliantly mixed Dracula legends with real facts, keeping us captivated. Brașov was the perfect end—charming, colorful, and rich in culture. Sonia truly went above and beyond, personalizing the experience, answering every question, and making us feel completely taken care of. Her passion for Romania and its history was contagious. This was more than a tour—it was an unforgettable journey through time and legend. If you're visiting Transylvania, don’t miss this trip—and definitely ask for Sonia. She made the day perfect!

The trip was really fantastic in spite of it being a long day. The guide Sonia was really good in her explanations and led the tour inside Peles castle as well for those who had bought tickets. The timing at the various places of the itinerary were well spaced. Perhaps the stop at the fuel station on the way back was not necessary? All in all a good excursion.

Lulia was great and she was very supportive and caring for me as an American. She ensured I’m taken care of during the tour and was always checking with me and others to ensure we understood everything.

Great trip!! Our opinion was that maybe seeing just one of the two castles (probably Bran - Dracula’s) would have been sufficient, as we would have preferred a little longer in Braşov. This is of course just a question of taste, though. The driver was super and (guide good too) and we enjoyed our day. If in Bucharest with a spare day, we would certainly recommend doing this. Yes, there is a fair bit of driving. But, the rewards were good for doing so!

This is a fantastic trip, visiting beautiful places, however you do have to buy castle admission tickets to make the most of the experience. Our guide was ok, sounded a little bored sometimes but guess it's repetitive for him. The amount of time at destinations was adequate, I would have liked a little longer, but it is a long day so was acceptable. I took so many photos the castles & scenery are lovely & the stop at Brasov made me wish I'd have stayed here rather than Bucharest haha. The coach was Air-conditioned but a little older so no usb chargers (or seatbelts) & wouldn't allow any drinks or snacks, it's an early start- make sure you get coffee and breakfast first. I gave the trip a star less because they emailed to say Peles castle (the bigger of the two) had sold out of tickets in advance, for 9-11am but Dracula castle had availability all day. If they knew in advance why didn't they change the order of the itinerary. Took us to castle we couldn't visit. That was frustrating

The Pele's Castle was gorgeous inside but the amount of people, traffic and renovations outside made it less than perfect. We were limited in time too. Didn't get to read everything but the day was long enough so understandable.

Very well organised, nice clean and modern coach, Vlad was an excellent guide who shared lots of facts and was always happy to answer questions, as well as keeping you updated through out the day via WhatsApp… couldn’t ask for more! The only thing I would suggest if you go on the trip is booking tickets for the Peleş castle well in advance as they sell out quickly, but if you are unable to get tickets, you can visit the Pelişor Castle instead which is on the same grounds.

Vlad is a very nice guide and the tour was very enjoyable. Both castles are nice in their own ways, and the scenery is lovely after leaving Bucharest.

It was a really good day overall, although it was very long. Eugen, our guide was absolutely fantastic and gave so much useful and interesting information all day. The coach was comfortable and cool. The 12 hours turned into 15 due to awful traffic delays on the journey back, though this was not the tour operator’s fault. We would not have booked such a long day and it was extremely tiring. However we enjoyed getting away from the stifling heat of Bucharest to the cooler mountains and the beautiful stops on the way. We had bought tickets for Peles Castle (you need to book in advance) but instead decided to enjoy the beautiful grounds and have a coffee rather than join the long queue to enter. Brasov was delightful and we decided to have a leisurely lunch but the time passed quite quickly. Bran was also beautiful but it was very crowded, with a one way system meaning you had no choice but to queue to enter each room. Overall it was a good day, even though we were exhausted!
