Day trip to Peles, Bran and Brasov - Alin was very friendly and made the experience stress free, making sure we got to places ahead of the crowds. He had extensive knowledge of Peles, Bran and Brasov. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and all of Alin’s recommendations.

Brilliant Day trip with Alin - We were a party of 6 and had Alin as our tour guide. We were collect from our chosen location and our firdt stop was Peles Castle. On the way Alin provide us with lots of information about the local areas we were passing, giving us a feel for life outside the city. Peles Castle was amazing, definitely visit inside, you won't be disappointed, and Alin stayed with us provide a guided tour with lots of information. We stopped in Brasov next with a recommendation for lunch from Alin - amazing local cuisine! We had some time to look about before heading to Bran Castle, another worthwhile visit. All in all this was a brilliant day, made all the better by Alin's knowledge and hospitality, and even a few jokes!!! Thanks Alin, we would definitely recommend!

Experiences Are what you make it - First off… I 100% recommend Octavian to be your tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, experienced and polite. He showed us many sights too and from Bucharest to Peles Castle, Bran Castle and Brasov. He was Awesome and took us around privately. 100% recommended for those that feel it gets too crowded on buses or even smaller tours. This was a private tour for my wife and I and it was awesome. I 1000% recommend Peles Castle. It’s an experience of wonder and beauty on its own. The hand carved wood, the beautiful crystal mirrors. It was jaw dropping. Bran’s Castle was an extreme letdown DO NOT recommend. Nothing is really real there except for some actual paintings of Queen Elaina and the view from the terrace was nice. DON’T spring for the extra tour of torcher devices. It’s maybe 10 different devices that you could see on Google. Also don’t waste your time trying to get Euro (says on the site that it only takes Euro) NONE of these sights take euro at all. Very cheap for the nightlife, but during the weekend it’s a lot of drunk people going from one place to another. Brasov square was beautiful and the food was good. The Black Church was cold (35F) inside and NOT worth the 50 lei to look inside.

Bucket List Trip - We had a fabulous time. The trip was made having Octavian as a guide and driver for the duration of the trip. His knowledge of Romanian culture and engagement with us as travellers was top class. I would ask for him again if I was making another booking.
My husband gave me the option to go anywhere in the world for my birthday. I chose Castle Bran, as I have been in love with Bram Stoker’s Dracula since my teens. The castle did not disappoint.
