Customer reviews of tours in Romania

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!

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.

I travelled with my partner, mum (who is a pensioner) and my daughter (who has Down's Syndrome) for context. Communication with the tour company was great, they Whatsapped us the meeting details, a link on Google maps and answered any questions we had. Sonia, the tour guide was great with us, very understanding and helpful. Peles Castle My daughter has walking difficulties, and she's not in a wheelchair. There are stairs involved, both up and down. Most have bannisters. There's not a huge amount but more so on the way down. There's a lot of flat surfaces, lots of rooms to look in. It's quite a large castle. Free for carer and disabled person. Bran Castle. Free for carer and disabled person. You do have to prove with documents. (My daughter has downs syndrome, which you can clearly see and they still wanted proof) The access card worked for us from the UK. There is a lift, which they don't tell you about. For those that can walk, there are a lot of steep winding stairs. I recommend

It was a nice, affordable, and easy way to see several places in one day.

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

Dracula castle was bit underwhelming but the tour guide, travel everything was awesome

Great trip!! Our opinion was that maybe seeing just one of the two castles (probably Bran - Dracula’s) would have been sufficient, as we would have preferred a little longer in Braşov. This is of course just a question of taste, though. The driver was super and (guide good too) and we enjoyed our day. If in Bucharest with a spare day, we would certainly recommend doing this. Yes, there is a fair bit of driving. But, the rewards were good for doing so!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good walking tour with a knowledgeable guide. Told history with depth and fun facts. Gave good recommendations and tips on restaurants. Great way to get an introduction of Romania and Bucharest before wandering on one’s own. Highly recommended.

Dan was an excellent tour guide. Was really good at conveying the history of Bucharest and showed us some excellent sights. I would recommend this tour if one wants to get a quick overview of Romanian history and history of Bucharest in particular.

This is an outstanding walking tour and Ed was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the insights he provided into the eclectic architecture of Bucharest and how it intertwines with the history. Ed was able to make it all come alive for us and gave us a deep appreciation of Bucharest and its present and past history and character. We highly recommend this tour.

Great tour, Lucia the tour guide was insightful, brilliant and engaging. We throughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

This was our second day in Bucharest – we did a bus drive-by tour, so we really wanted to get up close to see the Old Town in a walking tour. Ed could not have done a better job – he was funny. He answered all of our questions and he gave us a real feel For not only the Old Town, but for his city in general. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, and Ed in particular. Thank you for a wonderful 2 1/2 hours!

Ed is an excellent tour guide. He is easy to understand and very passionate (in a good way) at explaining about Bucharest and Romanian history.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Walking Tour of Bucharest! We were very pleased with this guided walking tour of Bucharest’s highlights. It was a perfect way to get to know the city and its fascinating and tragical history. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and gave a great insight into Romania’s complex past and vibrant culture. We learned so much about the architecture, historical landmarks, and everyday life in Bucharest. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city – it’s both informative and enjoyable!

Very enjoyable walking tour, saw interesting sites, learnt new things, exactly what you would want from a walking tour

The walking tour was very good. It was my first time in Bucharest and this walking tour did not disappoint. Alex was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable, a good communicator, friendly and accommodating. We had a very good overview of the history, culture, restaurants to visit for Romanian cuisine and political journey of the city of Bucharest. I would recommend this tour if you are visiting the city for the first time and want to see highlights of what Bucharest has to offer.

We were fortunate to be guided by Ed, who gave us a fascinating insight into the history of Bucharest. If you want an informative and friendly tour of the city, you need to book Ed!

The walking tour was entertaining and informative. Ed was the guide for our tour and he was excellent! He did a good job of explaining the history of Bucharest and Romania. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a good overview of Bucharest.

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!

Had a great trip from the beginning to an end! Our guide Lucian was great! Very friendly, funny and informative. Made the trip comfortable and interesting. Everything was awesome. 💯 recommended 👌 lots to see 🏰 🌳 🌲

was great, although some would me nice to stay all these places for longer. But would take too long

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.

Lucian David is incredible. The whole tour is very worth visiting, he talks a lot about Romanian culture and history

Fun experience with our guide Elena. Peleș Castle was really beautiful and worth the price. Tip: bring money in cash and be on time at the pickups

Matteo was the best tour guide I’ve seen in my life. Clear English, historian, kind and intelligent man. It was a great tour overall. Thank you!

The tour guide, English speaking lady was so good, the driver was also great and we felt safe with his driving

We visited Bran and Peleș Castles. Both were interesting and worth seeing. Our guide, Petru, was like a walking encyclopedia with a lot of knowledge about the castles and their history. He was very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the trip even better.

My opinion Bran Castle is the better of the 2. Very organised, we had Eugen who was giving us information all through the tour on the bus which was very good. Both castle are unique in their own way. Brasov is a great little place, would recommend this trip for Brasov itself

It was a great day trip and the sights were excellent. Our tour guide Otilia was an excellent story teller on the history of the country and the area. She really made it come to life! Our driver Cosmin was excellent as well having to navigate through traffic delays because of a car race and bridge construction. We couldn’t have asked for a better team on this trip!

Alex was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about Romania and we had a great day!!

Fantastic day trip from Bucharest to Peleș Castle, Brașov, and Bran Castle with my kids. Our guide, Otilia, was punctual, pleasant, and very knowledgeable—she shared lots of interesting facts and helpful tips for Bucharest too. We left at 7 AM, stopped at a beautiful scenic spot for breakfast near Peleș, then visited the castle from 10–11. Despite some traffic on the way to Brașov, we still had enough time to explore the old town. Otilia took attendance at each stop and made sure no one was left behind. The whole tour was well-organized and family-friendly. Our driver, Gelu, was professional and made the ride smooth. Highly recommend!

Lovely day out. Excellent tour guide Eugene. Would highly recommend

I’ve been to many countries and had many of these kinds of tours. This was the BEST! Petru was AMAZING! He was born and raised in Romania but speaks English better than I do (and I am an American). British accent, which is quite pleasant to the ears. Very funny (and I do mean that in a “Ha! Ha!” kind of way). His knowledge of Romanian history and about every city we passed through and every castle we visited has got to be unparalleled. This was a LONG day but he made the time go by quickly. The highlight of my trip to Romania!

Eugen was really knowledgeable and provided some amazing facts about both castles and Braşov. The whole day was amazing and a must do when in Romania!

Our Tour guide for the day, Otilia, was absolutely brilliant - a gem :-) ! She was full of knowledge of the places we went for the day and she certainly know how to entertain a bus full of tourist with information and a blast of good humour of Romanian cultures (weddings and funerals) interjected during our bus journey that had all of us in stiches (especially part my trip to romania was to attend a colleague's wedding here and I totally relate to her humour on the subject). If I had to rate Otilia, I'd given her a twelve out of ten ! Oh, the bus driver for the day (sorry, I can't remember his name) was brilliant too. This is a very good value for money trip and I highly recommend it to everybody !

The spa is big and very very busy. The issue here is do not buy the tickets from this vendor they overcharge and you don’t get the product that are listed.

Really lovely tropical environment to explore, chill and relax. We had entry to Palm & Galaxy. Was tempted to upgrade to Elysium, but didn't feel comfortable going back out into reception to upgrade. However, we filled the full 3 hours in the other areas. We went in the massage water beds... Unsure of what it would cost, as additional costs/prices are not transparent. It's so easy to rack up a small fortune. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the massage beds. To reduce the 'add ons' take your own towel or robe, sliders/flip flops. We wished we'd taken 2 towels, as the towel dryers aren't that effective, and mine was very damp, before needing it to shower, as we left. Although we visited in November, we wished we took sun glasses, as the winter sun was low, and blinding, especially when outdoors. Left really chilled.

I enjoyed myself. It was very busy but entry was with ease. The staff were approachable and pleasant.

Nice place but quite expensive. Spa? Hot water yes, but not thermal in my opinion. I had superior spa experiences in Italy. The Gala part è is a small covered aquapark and some additions. They make you open backpacks and bags to check that you have no food brought from outside. On the other hand they have a good indoor restaurant area. Pool bar (really in the water) very nice. Palm area dedicated to those who do not have children (children under 14 years old are not allowed and ask for the document at the entrance).

Very crowded, not many spa appointments available and no way to pre-book-first come, first served. Gotta arrive before opening to get in line-even for skip the line tickets. Too many people in the pools to relax and enjoy and hard to find a place to sit. Massage was just ok-I’ve had better. Don’t recommend spending the whole day there.

We went to the spa before flying onto Vienna, WOW just WOW! The spa was absolutely incredible, so many different areas and products and services for you to use. You always expect these sort of places to provide average level food and drinks because you know they know you’ll buy it as you can’t take your own in, but it’s the opposite, the best pina colada and cheese burger I’ve ever had!! Would definetly fly back just to visit the spa! Incredible!!

Very good, all very clean and staff very friendly. Food was very good and the price is very reasonable too.

It is well worth the visit, but your ticket does not allow you entry into the Elysium area, but you can buy entry ( via you wrist band) it costs an extra 7 euros, but well worth it as this area is where all the Saunas are. Sadly the beach was not open on the day we visited. However would definitely visit again

An amazing experience for relaxing! It includes all the things you need to feel comfortable during your visit.

"Both castles were exceptional as was the Transylvanian scenery in general. Host was very knowledgeable and managed a group of 40 people and their needs very well. Only minor issue was visiting Brasov when there was a massive musical festival on and couldn’t really see or do much . It would have been better to ask the group whether they wanted to do this effectively added another 3 hours to an already long day (0715 to 2200). Other than that was a great trip. "

It is a very long day (13 hours) due to the high volume of traffic in and out of Bucharest and in the Brasov area, but worth it to see the Carpathians and the castles.

Hands down one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Serban Riga made every part of the trip worth it, he was full of facts and local stories. Was more than happy to answer any questions and super accommodating and professional even when faced with difficult customers. The driver also deserves a shout out, managed tricky roads and traffic beautifully. Serban also was our personal guide inside the castles and brasov, was a exceptional touch in my opinion. Would book another tour without hesitation.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the trip was very cheap. She was nice, and we had more than enough time to look at the castles and surrounding areas.

The view of the Carpates. The beauty of nature. The visit to this incredibly richly decorated with the almost local materials. Worth a visit

Serban very well guide, Precise, and very nice. very helpful in chatting with needs and problems, I recommend, excellent value for money

Perfect tourr!! Alex is our guide. He explained everything very well. He has a very good knowledge about the history and he is a funny guy! I'd recommend this tour to everyone

Serban, our tour guide, organised everyone very well meaning that the tour ran on schedule and there was no time wasted waiting on latecomers.

The tour was great! Tour guide and driver (Serban and Narcis) were both very good on what they do! Picked up from a central location of Bucharest on time, arrival according to the schedule. It's really remarkable how many things we saw and learn in that day trip. Serban gave as several info ..not only about the places we visited but also about general Romanian history. Absolutely beautiful places💕Thank you

The guide gave a detailed, thorough presentation of the key features of the palace of the parliament. I enjoyed the experience.

Basically, you have to have reservation to take a tour of the Palace of the Parliament. The easiest way to do that is to sign up for a "tour." They get you in the door, from there the official tour guide takes over. The place is incredible, and story about construction horrible.

It was Monday and the castles other than Bran were closed, however it was a good tour to understand the countryside of Romania in addition to the city of Brasov.

a lot of rooms that don't interested enough. The building is empty the guide speaker is not good enough and hardly understand what she tell

Able to work with the group with changes. Great tour and easy booking and transport would book again

Basically just an agency to get you tickets and take you to the entrance. For that purpose it is ok - although you end up waiting around a lot at the start with no seating.

Really enjoyed the tour and the 2 guides - 1 for the outside of the building and 1 inside the building. Very informative. The only criticism is that luckily i looked at my phone as we were on the way to the parliment building and noticed had a text giving a meeting point that was different. I think that information should be sent the day before or be included in the email.

Great tour and very well organised. We received the information regarding the need for passports etc well before the tour so we were prepared. The guides were extremely good and gave us a real feeling for the times in which the building was created and the conditions at the time. Very well worthwhile.

Well organised and a good price. Amazing place to visit . Tour guide was very informative and led the tour at just the right pace.

Exactly what I needed, short, sweet, easy to understand tour. Good instruction beforehand about not taking in liquids and could leave them in the office. Recommend.

We had such a great day out with our guide Vlad He was very knowledgeable attentive and patient with our endless questions. Bran Castle was awesome especially in the snow and the bear sanctuary is a wonderful place. The stories of the bear's rescues were very moving and the staff are so dedicated. Rasnov Fortress is fascinating and there is a great viewing point high up where the fortress sits. The ride up is fun in a cart pulled up by a large tractor. The Palinca distillery was fun and we got very generous tastings from the distiller who was very warm and friendly. We had such a great day out and that is down to our guide Vlad Thank you for these memories Vlad

Bran Castle as as expected beautiful to see lots of history with a dash of cheesy vampire myth thrown in. The bear sanctuary was amazing we saw loads more than expected and and the story's are truly touching some sad but with the hope they provide. Our guild Vlad was informative and engaging through out. we found the distillery was not to our taste but am sure others will enjoy the host was lovely. The Rasnov fortress is not to be missed its not a tourist trap and has amazing views of the area.

Vlad was an incredible guide for our hiking, walking and sightseeing trip today. He is approachable, very knowledgeable and speaks extremely good English. Vlad also accommodated our needs as we had two children with us. Vlad knows the history of the area like the back of his hand and was very attentive to our needs. I would recommend Vlad to anyone wanting to travel in and around Braşov

What a day! Vali was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the wellbeing of the bears at the sanctuary is apparent and we had a brilliant time there. The sanctuary is huge and the work they do there is much needed. Despite some of the bears still bearing mental scars from their previous lives, it is wonderful to see the environment they now enjoy and the care they receive. It was heartbreaking to hear their stories, yet heartwarming to see them being so free. Bran castle was stunning and vali's knowledge made the whole experience all the better. As part of the fort we visited was closed, Vali was kind enough to show us the nearby ski resort. We ended the day at the distillery, where we tried lots of Palinka, enjoying it so much, we bought a bottle to take back.

It was really a very interesting and exciting tour! Vlad really knows a lot, has an answer to almost every question, an absolute Recommendation

Thank you Vlad for an amazing trip. Vlad is a licensed Romanian Tourist Guide and is incredibly knowledgable. He planned our trip based on the best opening times/tours for the day. He shared with us a lot of history about the bears, Bran Castle and Rasnov Citadel. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation. We couldn’t recommend this tour and Vlad enough.

Serban, our tour guide was on time and kept us amused. He was very knowledgeable about Peles and Bran Castle. The van was impeccably clean and we enjoyed the small group vibe. Our driver Peter was excellent and did his best getting us through the traffic. Serban also took all the pictures we asked him to and made sure we got the best views. It is a long day but well worth it.

Fantastic sights (Braşov & Peleş Castle) and very well informed, helpful guide. Also, our guide was a great driver which made the trip pass quickly. Very memorable. Thank you!

The traffic flow in Romania is very inefficient. As such, the itinerary is merely an outline. We made it to all three destinations, but our guide spent most of the trip talking about the traffic which made for a stressful and hectic experience. The guide had great enthusiasm but his energy was distracting and sometimes annoying. Unless you love the story of Dracula, Bran’s castle is a little disappointing.

This is a long, long day given the amount of traffic in the area. That being said, the area around Peles Castle and Braşov are amazing. Braşov is definitely worth the trip. Bran Castle is a bit underwhelming and the cost to enter just to get photos is not really worth it.

our guide Serban was excellent gave us loads of information even before the tour by whats app, checked in with us while on tour (free time) that we were happy and all was well, very attentive, also very informative on the places we visited, couldn't fault it. Our driver Peter was a very good driver felt very safe. Would highly recommend

Long day to visit the three sites but worth it both for the beauty of the castles and the city of Brasov. What really made the day was our outstanding guide Ioana, who filled our time with her passion, humour, authenticity and knowledge.

Our tour guide was a lovely very knowledgeable young lady(sorry her name I didn’t catch) the day was a long day from 8am until after 9pm but well worth it. Both the castles were interesting I preferred peles castle for the beauty inside. Dracula castle has a lot of steep steps in narrow corridors not an issue for most people but if you have any mobility issues it would be a challenge. There is a cafe at both castles the one at peles gets very busy but if you just step outside the entrance (where the bus drops you off) you will find a few local restaurants where it’s not as busy. We were given time at both castles to get a drink and snack. Braşov was a beautiful little town where you will have approx one hour to have a wonder and get a drink. On the way home we drove through some beautiful countryside in Transylvania we even saw bears. The drive is a long drive home over 3.5 hours you do stop for a comfort break. Please bear in mind that you are high up so take a jacket depending on the time of year.

Pick up was spot on time and tour guide was very friendly and gave clear information during the drive. Both castles were great to visit and plenty of free time at both and also in Brasov.

Although this is a big day out with a long drive, the journey was comfortable and well paced. Our guide was well organised and very informative. Both Peles and Bran castles are well worth seeing. Just be aware that Bran castle does require an uphill walk and also some narrow, steep steps within the castle. The free time for lunch/snacks at our last stop Brasov was much appreciated.

Fantastic tour of Bucharest and so many great sites to see and recommendations on areas to further explore. We booked the 2 hour tour with pick up from our hotel in the Old Town. Valentin was exceptional, his passion and knowledge taught up so much and we enjoyed every minute of the the experience. Thank you Valentin Sue & Rebekah

Valentin was super nice, knowledgeable and we had a great time. We did the 3 hr tour and it was worth it! He even helped us get a reservation at a beautiful and very tasty traditional restaurant and dropped us off after our tour. I would definitely recommend.

Private tour with a personable guide who not only shared his knowledge but was open to questions. Robert showed us photos and digital pictures of the areas we saw and gave us tidbits from the history of Bucharest and Romania that we may not have found on our own. We were able to see sites up close. An enjoyable ride in a unique vehicle with a great guide !!

We really enjoyed the Tuk Tuk tour. Our driver was fantastic and provided a lot of very good information. An area of road that would generally be on the tour was closed due to an upcoming concert so he talked to the guards asking permission for access on foot giving us a partial walking tour so we didn’t miss anything. I would highly recommend this tour.

Valentin was a terrific guide. So knowledgeable and so interesting. Very friendly and courteous. It was a real pleasure to meet him.

This is a great tour. Our guide was really knowledgeable about his city and it's history. This is a great orientation to Bucharest. We got to get really close to buildings and monuments

Great tour - would totally recommend! Valentin was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly - even helping us getting a taxi when the tour ended! Great value for money and learnt lots in just an hour seeing all the key sites! 10/10!

It is expensive but efficient way to tour both sides of the city. Able to avoid jam and stop at tourist attractions. Bucharest tourist attractions are wide spread and hard for touring on foot unless you have the luxury of time. The tuk tuk is clean and comfortable.

The tour was great. Robert was very informative and friendly. Made to suit you. Well worth the money.

The best way to see Bucharest! Very personable and interesting tour guide. We didn’t just look at buildings, we learned so much about the history of the country. Robert included photos of recent historical events. Thank you for the water and snacks and returning an item we left to our hotel.

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!

We had a perfect day, Adriana (our guide) was a great person, very kind and helpful, she guided us in the best possible way. We definitely recommend Eastern European Experience.

Dracula castle was bit underwhelming but the tour guide, travel everything was awesome

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 guide explained in organized way all the event related to dracula and the Romanian history, i learnt a lot, also the trip is perfectly arranged and they planned everything in advance, enough time for the activities, i give 10 out of 10,

This was a really good excursion to three beautiful locations. Vlad was a great guide - very friendly, knowledgeable, and keen to help.

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.

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!

it was great experience, the guide was informative and knowledgeable. Good value for money.

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.

It was to short time in bran to much pellen and brasov… unthinkable you must must everywhere the same time 2 hour 2hour 2 hour

Lovely tour guide, well planned stops and a comfortable bus for the journey. Lots of walking and not accessibility friendly due to age of construction of most of the buildings. But absolutely beautiful if able to tackle steep gradients and several flights of stairs. We had a wonderful time, would consider going again.

Anna was a fantastic guide, I could not rate this tour or Anna high enough. We had plenty of time at each stop, the information and stories along the way were second to none. The updates through watsapp for meeting points and time made everything so much easier. If you are thinking about booking......DO IT!!

This was a full day! For a small price we got to see so much, and had the sweetest tour guide. She told us very informative facts about our visits, she tried to help us out with our trip and gave us tips for the remaining of our stay in her country. A great experience! Thank you

Vlad is super. Very kind and helpfull person. The tour is Very complete and we enjoyed. I would recomendo.

First off, this is a really long day of 12 hours minimum so don’t make any dinner reservations as it’s highly likely you won’t be back until around 20:30. Secondly purchase your tickets on line for both castles before you set out particularly if you have no internet roaming. Once you are underway, you do get a fabulous commentary on the itinerary for the day as well as Romanian history. Dan our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and entertaining as well as looking after as all. We went in November. There was snow on the ground and the walk to the Castles, particularly Peles, was very slippery….however that was the price of incredibly picturesque scenery. The two castles are very different as one was a household and the other a fortress…..both are beautiful and spectacular. Brasov is so very pretty. This is where you will purchase a late lunch as part of your free time…..go for Micci and mustard. Wonderful. As said it’s a long day and being on time is critical…..but it’s well worth it for the photo memories alone.

We had such a fantastic day and we're well looked after by Vlad the driver and Eugen our guide. We absolutely loved seeing Dracula's castle, and we thought all the stops had a good amount of time available at each one. The drive has a stop about halfway to use the toilet and buy some food which was appreciated. We also loved hearing all the facts and interesting stories from Eugen. Thank you so much, we have a great day!

An opportunity to see real Bucharest living, a walking and tram ride to outer suburbs, yes good food but also a visit to the traditional markets & communities with the wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable Daniel. Highly recommended

Highly recommend this Tour. Mihalia took us to markets and neighborhoods that are away from the city center and have lots of history and beautiful architecture. She provided us with lots of history and local knowledge. You will not be disappointed with this Tour..

Do it! Andrea is an amazing guide! She knew a lot about the history and architecture of Bucharest. She even took us on the bus and the tram. We had food at places where tourists wouldn't normally go and it was delicious. Everything we tried was local. The outdoor market was an experience! Andrea took the time to explain the different sections of the market and answered all of our questions about the different fruits and veggies we saw. Cool to know she shopped there, too. It was an amazing tour made even better with Andrea ! Take the tour if you find yourself in Bucharest. You will not be disappointed.

Expect a real taste of Romanian food and local beer. Our guide was so friendly, knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited and bought fresh vegetables to add to the food.

Brilliant day out. Alex my guide took us all over the markets giving us a lot of history and great selections of foods. Most of them you’d never find on your own.

Very knowledgeable good food. Got a lot of history and lots of info on the local food. 😀👟🍒🍆🧀🍞🍺🍷

This tour is about so much more than food - although there is plenty of that as well. Alex was a top-notch guide for our group of 5. He introduced himself at the meeting point with a fresh, warm pretzel for us each. After strolling through some neighborhoods and finding out facts about who owns and lives in the pre-communism palaces, we went to a small neighborhood cafe where we had sour cherry palinka in an ice cold little cup along with a platter of typical meats, cheeses, spreads and bread. Yum! After this, we hopped on a bus to head to the large market where everything was sold from homegoods, to produce to deli items. We were all eager to buy the little palinka cups and Alex tracked some down for us. He even tracked down some palinka for us. We had a wonderful tour of the market and Alex bought from lovely produce which he prepared for our next stop at Terasa Obor, where we had some of the famous BBQ mici sausage that people will stand in a long line to buy. Not us! With Alex, we march right up to a reserved table. Mici are to die for! After this, we are off to have a tram experience and return near to our starting point. This was a fabulous tour that was very well planned and led. These Americans highly recommend it!

Angelica was a great host/tour guide. She was very informative. Was very in tuned to what we were doing. She made sure everyone was enjoying the time. Angelica went the extra mile! I strongly recommend this tour .

Angelica is a wonderful your guide! She explained every dish, and between restaurants she explained Bucharest's history. Highly recommend this tour.

Julian was an outstanding guide. He taught us so much history in addition to taking us to fabulous food stops. He also had excellent conversational skills; and his English was impeccable. We had a fabulous time on this tour. yes.

A really enjoyable tour: interesting, informative, and tasty! A perfect way to see and learn about Bucharest history and neighbourhoods with a local, and sample the food and drinks - especially if you are not in town for long. Our guide was informed, relaxed and friendly. The group itself not too big and a lovely bunch of people. We were not rushed, everything nicely timed to suit everyone’s needs. Recommended!

So much history and information and food! Great tour - and Andreea was the best. She had so many recommendations for my further trip onto Brasov. Highly recommended!
