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.

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.

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.

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.

Adriana was a great guide, we had a problem with the reservation and she was the only one to care and help us solve it. She was very kind and comprehensive with us. And she did a great job with the explanations of the different places we visited. We Really recommend her.

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!
