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.

Adriana is a very friendly and knowledgeable. She answers all of our questions. She really ensured our experience was personalized and enjoyable. Victor is an excellent and competent driver. We felt very safe in the bus. Some constructive criticism would be to keep clients informed of changes to the schedule. Highly recommend this tour!

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 great value for the price! Our tour guide was incredibly kind and had a great sense of humor. His English was clear and easy to follow, which really helped me enjoy the experience—even though my language level is somewhere between basic and advanced. I was able to understand most of the stories, and I’d definitely recommend this trip to others!
