A very good day's activity - A great way to get out of the city and see the country. We had comfortable coach, very good driver Daniel, and our guide Stefan giving commentary along the way. Plenty of time at each stop off point and he'd chat with any of us asking questions. Whole day was excellent. I really would recommend this to anyone. Well worth the cost.

Long Day, But Great Trip - Guide Stefan Awesome - First of all, RTFM. Castle entry tickets are NOT included and about half the tour did not have them. You can't get them at Peles Castle. Instructions are very clear when booking, but it did not matter. Secondly, traffic can be brutal on this trip; ours lasted almost 14 hours! Lastly, our guide Stefan was awesome! As this was a (mostly) Spanish/English visitor bus, so he had to say everything twice. But he did it with a smile. And was extremely helpful sorting tickets (some are timed and had to be reissued). He also provided very clear instructions, used WhatsApp to communicate to the group, and gave recommendations on restaurants to the best local foods to try. Great guide!

Great tour with Ana. - The tour was really good, although we could have spent a little more time at Bran Castle. The guide Ana made a fantastic job, she made sure that all passengers had a good time, and felt comfterbal. She was really wise, clever and had a lot of knolage about the tour.

Had a lovely day.. Our... - Had a lovely day.. Our Driver/Guide Lucian. (think thats how you spell it) but also known as David was very informative. He definitely knows his stuff and engaged well with us. The stops we had were very impressive and the drive was comfortable. There was only 8 of us which was nice. My husband sat up front which he enjoyed i sat next to a stranger but it was ok. All in all had a good day out and its worth doing.

Problem with buying Castle tickets from Gray Line - We bought our castle tickets 3 months early from Gray Line to make sure we had the best entry times. But they make a mistake and we had to wait around for 30 minutes to see Pele’s Castle. Because of that, we didn’t have time to see Pelesor, the other palace nearby that the tickets included. The guide and the driver were great. And lunch in old town Brasov was great.

Bucharest - We were put together with a Spanish speaking tour. So for 12 hours we had to listen to listen to info back and forth in both languages. Very difficult to pay attention and understand any thing. Also the guide told me I could get tickets at the gate for both castles and both were sold out. Not a great experience 😪

It is not enough time to... - It is not enough time to see Peles castles. Peles castle is the number one part of the entire tour and the inside was the best part. You have to buy tickets in advance which they don’t tell you about. You also don’t have enough time. We had to skip lunch and taxi to meet the group because we wanted to see the inside of the castle. Very poorly run tour.
