Great trip in Transylvania
Great tour, it was really worth the 12 hour trip to see the castles, the scenery and beautiful cities and towns along the way.
Our guide Nicolas was excellent, providing information in an entertaining way and suggesting places and things to do during our free time.

Castles in the forest and mountains with beauty
Peles Castle is amazing and should not missed. Dracula Castle it’s fun to see and doesn’t necessarily need to be toured on the inside. Brasov really wasn’t anything incredible but it did add time to the trip. I would definitely do the trip as a private tour as opposed to a big Bus tour.

Too l Iong a d rushed
Too long and at second stop too rushed
The wash closets hard to find and most charge unless your at a restaurant.
The walk paths unlevel and for older people hard to navigate. The driver and tour guide kept us safe and helped when needed.

A long but very enjoyable day.
I enjoyed this day very much. We had a full bus and a very good guide. I enjoyed visiting both castles. Our guide advised against comparisons, but I did favour Bran Castle. I loved Brasov, as a beautiful regional city.
Travellers should be aware this is a long day. Both castles are inundated with visitors.

Highly recommend Castle/Brasov private tour
Three friends traveling highly recommend Romania Tours & Trips private tour of Dracula Castle, Peles Castle and Braşov. Nothing beats the comfort and convenience of a private car for the trip into Transylvania. Our driver and guide, Sergui, was exceptional; excellent communication, very knowledgeable, accommodating and a pleasure to spend the day with.
