Everything was amazing. Iulia is a wonderful guide. She told us about everything from Bucharest till Braşov and Peles Castle. The bus was comfortable and the driver was nice. It’s was raining a lot but still nice. I highly recommend. We went to Bran Castle and the queue was huge. It’s a good experience but if you doesn’t want to go inside outside the castle is also beautiful. Braşov is a pretty city with lots of history. We love it!

This was a great trip to see Transylvania at its best. The driver was pleasant and did a great job getting us there quickly and safely. Our guide was amazing and gave us several options for how to do the tour, which was very convenient.

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

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

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.
