This was a great trip to see Transylvania at its best. The driver was pleasant and did a great job getting us there quickly and safely. Our guide was amazing and gave us several options for how to do the tour, which was very convenient.

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.

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.

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!

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!
