Day trip to Pèles, Bran and Braşov - Peles castle is a must see in Romania. Bran castle and Braşov were very interesting and gave us a much better understanding of the country. Vlad our guide was very knowledgeable and was very helpful.

Ana is the best guide ever. - Ana or guide was extremely informed and entertaining. She went out of her way to ensure everyone enjoyed the experience. Whilst we were looking forward to seeing the sights anyway she ensured we really got the most out of it. A fantastic day out. Thoroughly recommended.

great day out - The whole trip was easy to book and well organised. Our guide Vlad was phenomenal, with great information on pick up times and location, itinerary information throughout the day. He shared not only information on our stops but on Romania in general, answering all our questions and more, even offering to answer questions we had in the future via whatsapp - best guide ever 😀😀

Worthwhile but long - Definitely worthwhile! The tour is a convenient way to get out of the city and explore more of Romania - We hit a lot of traffic and lines at the first castle and ended up getting home at 9:30pm instead of 7:30pm. It makes a very long day. We were also surprised to hear that we couldn’t eat on the bus - They do stop at rest stops and extra time for lunch is built in at Bran or Bravos. Bravos was definitely the highlight of the trip for me and I would have chosen more time there and less at Peles (or skipped Peles all together given the lines). Our guide was great and shared a lot of history during the bus ride + gave us a guided tour of Peles castle. Overall would recommend but be prepared for a long tour with limited time to eat.

Driver on the phone & rude tour guide - The driver was talking on the phone & holding the phone while driving. Dangerous & irresponsible. ( photo).The tour guidr saw it and did not say anythibg as it was normal. The guide was rude with some people who were just asking basic questions. Peles/Bran/Brasov are great but better chose other company.
