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.

A terrific way to see a lot of Romania and to visit hard to reach places. It’s a lot day, over 14 hours, but time well spent.

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

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!

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.

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!
