Great tour for 3 Romanian highlights in this area - It was a pleasure walking through Peles castle as my mother did when she lived in Romania. I am excited to tell my children I visited the castle that a children's movie was based on. Brasov is a lovely town, I will probably make another trip out there to see it in more detail. I highly recommend this tour.

A ‘must do’ tour from Bucharest - Useful text advising of guide’s name & coach registration so easy to locate at meeting point.
Informative guide.
Castles were very busy & a ‘must see’. Lovely to see the Transylvanian hills & forests out of the city.

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.

Good value introduction to Transylvania - Good way to see more of Romania if staying in Bucharest. This coach tour is easier than using a hire car or using public transport . It is good value for the distance you cover. It is long day but you are advised about this when you book. You get to see the Carpathians and Transylvania. Although we chose not to visit either castles, Vlad our guide kept us updated by What’s App regarding meeting points. Peles Castle area is lovely and you can enjoy the castle gardens without visiting the actual castle. Vlad’s walking tour of Brasov was good and in truth I would have liked more time here but the distance we covered doubtless makes this unfeasible. Vlad is a very professional and knowledgeable guide plus practical with essential information such as where toilet stops are located. So for a taste of these regions this is a good value tour which I would recommend.

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.

The worst Tour Ever - It began at 7:15am and ended at 9:45pm. No lunch and too late for dinner. The worst day ever in our 20 years of traveling. If you would like details you may ask me. After I get home and do not want to remember that awful day.
