Must do tour
This was a great way to experience Peles/Bran and Transylvania. George Culerda took great care of us and spent the time to go over the rich history of the region and made the tour personal. Highly recommend George

Definitely a great...
Definitely a great experience, make sure you buy tickets to get into the castles as well through the tour. Cost around €40. Trip was long on the bus so wouldn’t hurt to bring a neck pillow or something and the plugs don’t work so bring two portable chargers. The guide was very helpful and spoke in many languages as well.

Do it!
The trip was worth of taking! Don't think of missing castle tours ( Bran and Peles) and take the advantage to loosen up by letting the agency book the cards for You, because You won't be on any time schedule other than the group has if You do so. Our guide Emanuel did his job perfectly, he was interesting, amusing and well organized. He even got us back at time to go to the Opera and I really really aprecciate this! Thank You Emanuel, You are the best!

Very good
It was good . There were a lot of road turns in the mountains and some people didn't feel well. The recommended restaurant by the tour guide was really good.

Had a fabulous day with our driver, Emanuel. He knew a lot of history and a lot of jokes! His English is excellent, so there was never any trouble communicating. The castles were amazing and well worth the trip out from Bucharest, as was the different scenery on the way.

Tudor was a great guide
Tudor was a fabulous guide. He was personable and conscientious. He was also very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the country and the Transylvania area. He also gave us recommendations for other things to see in Braşov and other parts of Transylvania.
