Fantastic Day Trip
Great experience with a local guide that knew every detail. He arranged to arrive at the different locations to avoid the long lines and crowds. His knowledge was impeccable. Comfortable transportation. Took to authentic cuisine.
Great experience.

Worth it!
It’s a full day, but worth it! You get adequate time at all 3 sites and can relax on a comfortable bus for the travel portion. Our guide Emmanuel gave us good information and stories for each site.

Good but rushed
Peles visit was a little rushed. Perhaps a slower tour of the castle and half an hour less in Bran
Bran castle was just about to close at 2pm today so we had to have a long delayed lunch and felt again rushed through our visit.
And Rasnov was closed for renovation so disappointing to.miss that with no advance notice

Oh my goodness 😍
Wonderful day out of the hustle & bustle of Bucharest.
Excellent tour and highly recommended. Our guide was extremely informative. The highlight for me was Brasov. Each stop was a treat for the eyes and held its own history. Thank you!

Decent tour to check...
Decent tour to check Peles castle (a must), Brans castle (disappointing exhibition) and Rasnov (passable). Tour guide knowlegeable but without providing much info on the tour itself, would've been good to have a better sense for the whole plan and tour logistics. Excellent remote support to arrange the tickets to the castles.

Mihai is a fountain of knowledge
Mihai is a top your guide who seems to know everything about Romania. He's truly an expert in his field.
Peles castle is closed on. Monday/Tuesday which we knew but spending an 1:15hr for a cup of coffee there seems like an inefficient use of time especially whenever it's such a long day.

Best tour and tour guide ever!
Great day to explore Castles and Monastaries in Romania. Driver Alex picked us up early drove up into Carpathian mountains to explore Peleş and Bran castles. It was well guided he had good information for our locations and we were able to do everything we wanted including a traditional Romanian meal.

Magical day out
Excellent but long day out! The itinery was fantastic with majestic castles and a quaint town. There were plenty of toilet stops during the day mainly at service stations where there were minimal queues. There was a bit of a queue at Peles castle but it moved at a reasonable pace. Lunch was at an authentic restaurant recommended by Romeo, our guide. Romeo was very informative and helpful although some quiet on the journey back to Bucharest would have been appreciated.
