Our day trip was very nice! However Romania is a very big country so you are mostly in the bus. Our guide Sergio was amazing! Very polite, helpful, caring, knowledgeable and sociable.

The trip was really great. The bus collection was well organised and they kept us updated during the ride where we were going, how long it would take and had stops for toilet/snack break. Our tour guide Lucian was very friendly and made the trip so much more fun, with his jokes☺️ we really enjoyed it! He also helped us buy tickets at each castle 👍🏼 10/10 recommend!

Lucien was our guide.He's funny, informative.We enjoyed our day trip very much, the weather was fantastic that day, lots of sunshine. Peles castle is under restoration so there's a lot of scaffolding on the outside.The castle was closed on a Tuesday so we only viewed from the outside, we knew beforehand. Dracula castle was over hyped and touristy. We enjoyed the town of Brasov the most. Delicious Italian meal we had and shopping too.

1 one word: perfect! Recently I had the pleasure of traveling with Narcis, and it was truly a perfect experience! Narcis shared fascinating historical stories that brought our tour to life. One of the highlights was visiting Peles Castle, where Narcis regaled us with stories of King Carol I and the castle's rich history. We explored the stunning town of Brasov, and the scenery along the way was simply breathtaking. Narcis goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. Highly recommended!
