Long day

Knapp_J, Apr 2024

The castles were good and the guide good but a very long day and 30 people on trip when told only 15

Back in the golden era

CHANDNI_C, Sep 2023

The tour guide and bus driver was extremely friendly and had the best time and made some great friends

Great sites…Long Day

John_M, Aug 2023

The town of Braşov and castles were good. The drive is very far and traffic terrible. We finished probably 3 hrs late…so made for day of 7:30 am - 10:00 pm.

Great tour

Michael_D, May 2023

Both tour guide and driver were excellent. Everything that we'd been promised was provided as described. We had a wonderful day.

Fantastic trip!

ollieg37, Apr 2023

Fantastic trip from start to finish, would highly reccommend! Both castles were lovely. Our tour guide Alex was knowledgeable and funny too!

Peles Castle is so...

Jennifer_C, Mar 2023

Peles Castle is so beautiful. The interior was amazing. The guide was knowledgeable. Maybe could enhance customer service a bit more, such as checking on how guests are doing with the walks and climbs

Fangtastic!

Nikki_R, Jan 2023

Facts, figures, dates, well informed guide and the history behind the myth Well organised and good fun

Wow what history

Alan_G, Nov 2022

This was a great day, long but so worth it. Our guide Rodica was fabulous, truly knowledgeable and proud of her country and its history! She made the stories come to life. Well done x

Great experience :)

Christy_A, Nov 2022

Everything was excellent, the only thing to know is the bus did not have phone plug-ins to charge so bring a battery back-up because you will take a ton of photos!!!

A must for anyone vising Romania

Jason_W, Oct 2022

We had an absolute outstanding day - both castles were steeped in history and both with different stories, Our guide Christi (probably spelled wrong apologies) was so knowledgeable and was able to bring the day to life. The long day didn't really matter as we crammed so much in. A truly memorable day. Thank you

Bran castle is totally spoiled by Dracula hype. Good guide and driver

Kaarlo_M, Oct 2022

Very good and professional guide. She had a difficult job, large group and long day, but coped well. Very good driver, difficult traffic and very long day. Dracula castle is a tourist trap, huge crowds and very uncomfortable. Bran is a nice place but spoiled by “nebunia”. Sibiu and Brasov were good and more time there would have improved the trip.

Go for the castles, not Dracula

Brian_G, Oct 2022

Great tour. Go for the castle’s. Not Dracula. Not a lot of the TV/Movie stuff. But the history and the castle were great. Great tour guide and driver.

Great castles

tara_h, Oct 2022

The castles were so great to see, especially autum time with the Beautiful foliage. in the background .

Rodica is great!

John_R, Aug 2022

Rodica is the only person allowed to take me around Romania. We got to Peles first and had it to ourselves. She's just great. Great roadside bus stop on the way home! Well timed, too. Got back around 8:15

Fantastic

Corrado_S, Jul 2022

Castello di Peles is fantastic. Alex, the guide, is very fantastic, funny, is a good men. Also the driver is ok. Ciao.......

This is a beautiful and...

Josip_P, Oct 2021

This is a beautiful and worthy, with great stop at Peles castle and Brasov. However, the Bran castle was not so interesting, we would appreciate more time in Brasov.

Excellent

Graeme_W, Oct 2021

Excellent tour everyone should do it. Very knowledgeable staff on tour bus. Very helpful an efficient

Our guide Rodeka was...

Lisa_T, Oct 2021

Our guide Rodeka was excellent, she had an extensive knowledge about the area and history and her delivery manner was absolutely spot on.

Excellent all round trip

Tom_G, Oct 2021

Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. Everything is timed brilliantly. No requirement for the time tunnel though, it’s a waste of time and the extra money. Time tunnel will be the only disappointment of your trip, the rest is just outstanding

Beautiful places and excellent service (best tour guide ever)

Sandy_T, Oct 2021

It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The places we've visited were so beautiful, but without our tour guide, Alex, nothing would be the same. With his knowledge, humor, and impartiallity he give us in only a few hours a full image about Romania's medieval and modern history. I totally recommend this tour for two more reasons: It saves you so much time when someone else is driving, and it is totally safe if you have corona virus concerns.
