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!
