Long but valuable and fun day! - It’s a long day but if you are short on time, it’s a great way to see a couple of castles and the charming town of Brasov, in addition to some amazing scenery. I learned all sorts of things from our driver/guide about Romania, its history and legends. Definitely recommend!

Great tour would rcommend as a one day complete tour - A great tour and our tour guide gave us a really good background without going too over the top. Both castles and Brasov were great and would recommend visiting. The tour was a little rushed but we knew this going in and it was a long day so hard to know where time could’ve been added and it was still worth doing. It is a long day so be prepared to bring drinks and snacks and to always have half an eye on the time but you will enjoy it!

Busy day trip with lots to take in. - Booked a trip to Peles Castle and Dracula’s Castle. Lucien, our driver, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I particularly enjoyed Bran Castle but with stopover time in Brasov and a packed day, it was really worth doing.

A good experience, but read the reviews before you book! - This experience was very good overall, but other potential travellers should know that it’s a long day with a long time spent on the coach. Fortunately we were aware of this before booking, so we knew roughly what to expect. We had about 1hr 15min at each destination, roughly. We wished we hadn’t bothered with tickets to go inside Peleș Castle as it was very busy with other visitors and it was frustrating to get stuck behind a huge group of school kids in the rooms upstairs where it was too narrow to pass - not ideal when they’re not rushing but you are! When you get to Brașov you’ll have time for lunch or exploration, but not both. Bran Castle was our highlight of the trip, and we are definitely glad we went inside. Though it isn’t as big or grand as Peleș, we found it much more charming and interesting.

A good trip - The tour went well, the timing was respected. The only cons are the overcrowding of the castle of Peles (not under the control of the tour operator).

Dismal treatment of the operator - I was 2 minutes late and the operator didn't wait for me. That's the least of it, because it was my mistake. But the way of treating a client was not at all adequate, very ill-mannered.

Unacceptable behaviour!! - The tour was good although very tight schedule.However, the behaviour of the operator was unacceptable. They overcharged us 110 euros more for buying the entrance tickets for the castles from them ( the official sites charged 86 euros with one child and another one under 6 free of charge and they charged us in total 196 euros without option of free of charge on their offer). We asked for a refund at least for the child that was free of charge and although they promised they will do so they never did!!!The company that did that was Grayline Romania- we definately not recommend this company. The tour is good but do not use Grayline Romania....unacceptable behaviour.
