Fantastic trip with an excellent guide! We absolutely loved the small group size (6 people max), how welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable Florin (our guide) was. The meet up point is easy to find and right in town & the van is comfortable. Florin is so easy to chat to and full of information that the drives to each of the castles flew by! We were some of the first people to get into Peles castle, and when huge tour groups would come through Florin was an expert at guiding our little group so we could still hear about and see all the most interesting features of the castles. We had enough free time at each sight to wander and take photographs after the guided tour - nothing was rushed at all. Highly reccommend this great tour!

Bianca was taking excellent care of us! She is an excellent driver, which is not that common in Romania btw 🤭 She gave us a lot of information and made sure we are all happy. Regarding the info on the trip- it says: priority in waiting lines BUT it’s only for buying tickets (where there are no waiting lines and the tickets can be bought even online), NOT for waiting to enter. Everyone has to wait in line and the lines are extremely long.

The tour guide was excellent as he was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke perfect English. he also described things with passion which made it more interesting. The castles were an amazing experience. Highly recommended.

we had alex as our guide, alex was fantastic friendly very informative gave us loads of information about our destinations and history of brasov thank you alex for helping us explore some of your beautiful city
