It was a very nice experience. Tudor was always guiding us and sharing interesting information. I consider this tour the best experience I have had in Romania so Far

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

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.

Overall it was a good experience. We went to all the places we had to go! But, I wish we new the full price from the start... because the price we had to pay went up twice, and to be honest we went way over our budget. The Dracula Castle is not worth getting into, better to stay outside in the market place. The Peles Castle is worth visiting, and our guide truly took the time to share some facts about the rooms we visited inside and gave us a great tour of the rooms!

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.

Very poor communication from this agency. I sent multiple emails asking for basic information (like approximate arrival times to the castles) so I could plan and buy tickets in advance but they never replied. Without that information, the tour was not realistically usable, so I ended up organizing everything myself. I have contacted them to request a refund, as I waited for their response until the night before, when cancellation was no longer possible. Disappointing experience.

We had a wondeful trip. Pavel was a great guide, really knowledgeable and engaging. We were impressed with the day as a whole and would recommend this to anyone looking to get out of Bucharest and seem some different sights
