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.

The day trip was amazing, the places that are included are a “must see” in Romania. Tudor the guide was the best, very helpful, nice and informative.

The trip was really fantastic in spite of it being a long day. The guide Sonia was really good in her explanations and led the tour inside Peles castle as well for those who had bought tickets. The timing at the various places of the itinerary were well spaced. Perhaps the stop at the fuel station on the way back was not necessary? All in all a good excursion.

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

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.

It was amazing, Would maybe consider adding on tour tickets in the original price and have the guide purchase them bulk.

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.
