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.

Overall lovely...
Overall lovely experience, the tour took us to these sights that would be difficult for us to go by ourselves, all places we visited and the view along the way was pretty and entertaining. Our tour guide, Emmanuel, was a good tour guide and nice guy to get along with. Although We were expecting more information on the tour about history and culture in depth, which we didn’t get, but we appreciated his effort. We found the tour overall quite enjoyable.

Castles of Transylania + Brasov with Andrei
Andrei is a fabulous driver and a wealth of local knowledge. He provided an in-depth overview of the areas we visited and provided the right amount of time to stop and enjoy the various sites. The Transylvanian Alps are gorgeous with many quaint ski villages along the route, stopping at Peles Castle was wonderful. We discussed Romanian culture and it's history. A highlight was to sit down with him for lunch in the beautiful city of Brasov. Thanks for a fantastic tour!

Swedes visiting Dracula
A fun and interesting to three castles very well guided by Traiana with a great sense of humour and knowledge of fun details not usually found in the guide books.

Spectacular History
Pele Castle is spectacular the history behind both castles is amazing so is the old charm of Brasov.
Our guide Otilia was very knowledgeable, but delivered this real passion and humour made the day so enjoyable. George the driver was very good navigating some horrendous traffic and mountain roads.
The pace of the trip is just right.

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.
