The day trip was amazing, the places that are included are a “must see” in Romania. Tudor the guide was the best, very helpful, nice and informative.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
