Great tour to three amazing locations - This tour is a full day most likely with a full bus of people. Our guide did a great job keeping us on schedule getting us more time at the two castles. I had communication from the guide the day before asking us to bring cash for one of the sites, then he sent a link for us to purchase our ticket for the next site. Some people did not follow instructions and made it difficult for our guide to do his job. If you are going on a “group” tour please follow the group instructions. Otherwise you are taking time away from the people who did follow the instructions. The bus was comfortable and the driver was excellent. Be early to the morning pick up location. I don’t think you can do this tour on your own for less money, it was so nice to be driven right to the castles and to the center of Brasov.

An amazing Trip! - An amazing tour! Our guide Emmanuel was very organised and informative. He had some amazing stories to tell! Peles castle was beautiful, the perfect definition of royal. Bran castle was more modest but very fascinating for those interested in the myths and history behind it.

Great experience - This tour takes all day but is certainly worth it, visiting three different places with plenty of toilet breaks in-between. Our tour guide was Emanuel who took good care of everyone, he really cared about the customer experience and was always checking in to ensure we were having a good time. His knowledge of the places we visited was extensive and very interesting. The best tour guide made this the best experience. Thank you Emanuel!

Tedious - Being told off by the guide for being 10 mins late for a meeting point due to having to wait in a 20 min toilet queue

Horrible customer service pre-trip - Horrible pre-trip customer service. I wanted to know if after the Dracula Castle the busses passes by again Brasov (where I spend the night as I do not plan to go back to Bucharest). Simple enough question, one would think, a simple "No" would have sufficed. - The customer service speaks poor english, uses non-existent words such as "prestated" - The customer service does not read the actual emails. I asked if after the Dracula Castle the bus passes by Brasov, for which the answer was "You want to book on TripAdvisor?" - Then the customer service kind of picked a fight with me saying that I wasted the company's time.

Tour cancelled with no notification - We booked this tour in June , 2024. Departure date was September 10, 2024. I called 24 hours prior to pickup as required to confirm departure. I discovered this tour had been cancelled. We did received a full credit back to our credit card as expected however, I was VERY upset there was absolutely no prior notice given regarding the cancellation. This left us with insufficient time to book another tour leaving us with a full day high and dry in Bucharest with nothing else planned and nothing to do. I find the handling of this situation unacceptable and will be quite leery of booking future tours.
