Brasov and its castles - The tour is very well organized. We were followed by Nicoleta who guided us on this beautiful trip, explaining the whole story without leaving anything out. Florin, the driver was a perfect driver despite the rainy weather and the slightly steep roads. I highly recommend if you want to spend a really interesting day

TOUR Super congliatO - Perfect organization, punctual and very professional. The guide Otilia speaks very good Italian, is a competent guide and also witty. has a lot of passion for his work. This is evident in the fascinating way he told us the story of the castle of Peles and the story of Dracula. The times are perfectly organized, we were never in a hurry and we had all the free time to eat and tour on our own. I highly recommend the combination Otilia and Marcus, our driver.

Ticketed all the Boxes - There was some confusion at the pick up point because there were so many buses. Eventually sorted & the guide was very friendly & informative. The visit to the Peles Castle was excellent and the hidden message re Bran castle was understood. I was very appreciative that they let me leave the tour in Brasov

To do if in romania - Gabriel expert and friendly guide The castles have an immense amount of objects and rooms to photograph, especially the peles one full of art Convenient to have a bus that takes you to each of the tourist spots without having to change vehicles An experience to see an undersponsored side of Europe

Not worthy on mondays - Peleş Castle is closed on Mondays. You have to select any other day of the week to enter it. I only recommend it f you have nothing else to do in Bucharest.

Very Poor - The whole experience was extremely poor start to finish I couldn’t be more disappointed. Our group ended up missing the bus and the whole experience. We got to the location at 6:30 am and there were tons of people waiting around. The buses pulled up around 6:50 and the chaos ensued. There were multiple tour guide signs all over the place and we did our best with our group of three to find our tour guide. People started getting on the buses and we panicked. Tried to find help from a few different tour guides to see if they were our guide or if they could help us find ours. Every person we seemed to talk with didn’t have the time of day to give us and couldn’t be bothered to help. Us along with 25-30 other people were all trying to ask the same questions for help. The last quote on quote guide in a very angry manner said there was nothing he could do to help us or direct us to. He then got on the last bus and took off with a very large group of people still waiting in disbelief. I tried contacting customer support in which I got smart ass answers about where was I and what was I doing. It was extremely unprofessional and ridiculous. The customer support was no help at all and we were left stranded there. For someone who travels around the world and does these kind of excursions on a regular basis this was the worst I’ve ever experienced from start to finish. I would like a refund for this poor experience considering we got to do nothing that day. Be do better.

Do not book this trip! - Do not book this trip! We got up in the dark at 6am for a once in a lifetime trip to Transylvania to be left on the street as no one arrived to pick us up. Lots of chaos with lots of unhelpful guides, not one with our booking. No one helped or answered the phone, several other groups left on the street. Very disappointed, don’t waste your money or time!
