We enjoyed trip with Tudor a lot! Everything was perfect - not too much not too less. I do not understand some of the bad reviews as honestly speaking this trip has nothing missing. Thank You Tudor for making out trip such a great time!

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!

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!

It's a shame that you weren't told in advance that you had to order your own tickets. Now lots of people are standing outside without tickets because it's sold out.

Everything was fine. Peles Castle limited the numbers of visitors. We didn’t buy tickets in time. However, we enjoyed the park and Palisor Castle instead. Our guide Vlad took good care of us and provided options and tips along the trip. Brasov hosted a marathon game. We cheered with the crowds for the athletes. A beautiful medieval city indeed. I hope I had more time there.

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.

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.
