Interesting tour with Christian who was a great guide. A tip for others travelling. Bring something warmer to wear than you think you need. At first the 55 degree temperature feels fine but after an hour as your body temperature drops more it gets pretty chilly.

A brilliant day trip! Had plenty of time to go around without feeling rushed and in small group makes it even better! Serban was our guide and he was brilliant! Very knowledgeable but also very entertaining! He definitely made the trip that extra special!

Andrea was an incredible guide- we were together for almost 6 hours and it flew by. She was so deeply informed and a great storyteller as we learned and ate together. I was stuffed by the end, and really enjoyed all our stops. It was worth it to get oriented to Bucharest.

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.

First of all, RTFM. Castle entry tickets are NOT included and about half the tour did not have them. You can't get them at Peles Castle. Instructions are very clear when booking, but it did not matter. Secondly, traffic can be brutal on this trip; ours lasted almost 14 hours! Lastly, our guide Stefan was awesome! As this was a (mostly) Spanish/English visitor bus, so he had to say everything twice. But he did it with a smile. And was extremely helpful sorting tickets (some are timed and had to be reissued). He also provided very clear instructions, used WhatsApp to communicate to the group, and gave recommendations on restaurants to the best local foods to try. Great guide!

What a great experience! We were collected from our hotel by Alin in a shiny electric tuk tuk, given 2 bottles of water and a snack and taken on a fantastic 2 hour tour that included all the key sights of Bucharest. Alin (who is the owner of this company) provided a lovely, humorous running commentary whilst driving. The great thing about this tour is that when you get to a landmark Alin just bumps the tuk tuk up the kerb, you hop off, he gives you a quick history and then takes your photo. Then it's back in the tuk tuk and you're off to the next sight. Do this on your first day and you will then know all the places you want to go back to and explore further on the rest of your trip. Honestly, I can't give this a higher recommendation, just book it, you won't be disappointed!

We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little underwhelming in comparison. Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back. There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

Great tour , salt mines were immense , the setting of the restaurant was epic as was the food , equally the monastery was good. Best of all was our private guide Laura who was very pleasant with nothing an issue. Her car was spotless and it was a joy to spend the day with her , her knowledge was exceptional and couldn’t have asked for a better day.
