Beautiful castle and a great tour guide - Best tour guide Sebastian, he haves a tone of history and he knows everything. The tour starts with the royal family castle in Sinaia city. Here we have a beautiful modern castle for the time when was build (1875-1914). Everything inside is original from the king time. And Sebastian explained everything with a smile on his face. Second stop is Bran castle (aka Dracula castle). Here we sow an old fortress rebuilt by the second queen of Romania. And Sebastian explained about the story of Bram Stoker (Dracula) and how this made the castle related to Dracula. Last stop Brasov city a beautiful place to relax after two castle. Here we sow Ecaterina gate, rope street, black church and the main city square. In my opinion this is a tour that gives a lot of history in only one day. Going from Bucharest to Sinaia , Sebastian explained everything abound the history of the places that we pass on the road. I recommend this tour.

Best experience you can get in Bucharest! - Amazing tour and a must see if you stay in Bucharest! Sebastian was an excellent tour guide! We absolutely loved Peles Castle, we were not told that at Peles Castle you have to pay by Romanian lei and card was not an option. However, Sebastian saved the day! Peles Castle is the absolut highlight of the day. Bran Castle was also nice to see and Brasov was a lovely place to visit. Sebastian makes sure you have plenty of time at every stop, he might walk fast but that's only to make sure we were the first group to visit Peles and Bran Castle before it gets too crowded. He also has a lot of knowledge about the castles and transylvania. If he's your tour guide and driver you'll have the best experience you can get. During the way back he informed with other colleagues where the traffic jams were so he could take the fastest route back to Bucharest. Sebastian went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience we could get.

Just enough - Pros: - Knowledgeable about the history and the castles itself. - Enough breaks given for individual exploration Cons: - Did not really engage with the group. - We were not informed that we need cash for ticket at pelesh castle. He did help us pay but prior information would have been better - Walks really fast. The fastest than any other tour guide I know. Overall it is exactly what is said. No more, no less. To the point.
