Lucien was our guide.He's funny, informative.We enjoyed our day trip very much, the weather was fantastic that day, lots of sunshine. Peles castle is under restoration so there's a lot of scaffolding on the outside.The castle was closed on a Tuesday so we only viewed from the outside, we knew beforehand. Dracula castle was over hyped and touristy. We enjoyed the town of Brasov the most. Delicious Italian meal we had and shopping too.

I’ve been to many countries and had many of these kinds of tours. This was the BEST! Petru was AMAZING! He was born and raised in Romania but speaks English better than I do (and I am an American). British accent, which is quite pleasant to the ears. Very funny (and I do mean that in a “Ha! Ha!” kind of way). His knowledge of Romanian history and about every city we passed through and every castle we visited has got to be unparalleled. This was a LONG day but he made the time go by quickly. The highlight of my trip to Romania!

1 one word: perfect! Recently I had the pleasure of traveling with Narcis, and it was truly a perfect experience! Narcis shared fascinating historical stories that brought our tour to life. One of the highlights was visiting Peles Castle, where Narcis regaled us with stories of King Carol I and the castle's rich history. We explored the stunning town of Brasov, and the scenery along the way was simply breathtaking. Narcis goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. Highly recommended!

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!

Fantastic day trip from Bucharest to Peleș Castle, Brașov, and Bran Castle with my kids. Our guide, Otilia, was punctual, pleasant, and very knowledgeable—she shared lots of interesting facts and helpful tips for Bucharest too. We left at 7 AM, stopped at a beautiful scenic spot for breakfast near Peleș, then visited the castle from 10–11. Despite some traffic on the way to Brașov, we still had enough time to explore the old town. Otilia took attendance at each stop and made sure no one was left behind. The whole tour was well-organized and family-friendly. Our driver, Gelu, was professional and made the ride smooth. Highly recommend!
