Very enjoyable and informative. Excellent tour guide (Alex). The two castles were really interesting as well as Brasov old town where we had a delicious local lunch

Meeting point is chaotic. All coaches have the same company name on so each guide and bus tell you that you are on another bus without telling you which one. Some people arrived 30 mins early as requested and some 3 mins, i understand why such an early start when its badly organised at the start. A late departure set off lateness through the rest of the day with an eventual return time a little after 7pm. Bus journey itself was comfortable, its about 8 hours on it in total so needs to be. Seat swapping did not go down well after each stop so best to leave something not valuable on your seat if you want to keep it as people ignored the guide. Bran Castle better than expected, Brasov very pleasant but 1.5 hours would be enough as barely had 45 mins at Peles, although that was probably the most underwhelming. Toilet on board locked and no drinks or food allowed on the bus. 175 RON per adult charged for entry which does NOT skip any lines, long queues to enter both castles. Both poorly organised so zero flow through them.

Amazing experience. Nicholas was a delight and so helpful the entire way. It was very easy to find the meeting point (despite what other people have said), they left exactly at 7am as advertised so you need to arrive at least 20 minutes before to make sure you get on the right coach. Food in Brasov is incredible with plenty of options, would highly recommend the ham and bean soup.

Bus did not arrive at the pick up spot. There were 10 others also waiting. No communication. Unable to speak with anyone as number just connected to an AI. Particularly bad when you’re waiting at 06:30am.

A great trip to see more of Romania! I was hesitant from reading a few reviews, but the trip was excellent. Our guide Julian and driver Jonny were great. Meet outside the hotel by the taxi rank. You need to bring cash to pay the driver to skip the queues on arrival. It states on the booking information so I don’t know how people miss this. Peles and Bran castle are lovely to look around. The stop of midway at Braşov was lovely to get lunch, we enjoyed some local cuisine and beer. The walk around Peles and up to Bran can be slippy with the ice and snow, so sensible footwear is advised. Would recommend!

The places we went to were beautiful and the guide gave us a full story recap about everything we saw there, teaching us about some of the Romanian history. A great experience for very few money.

This excursion was worth the long day. Lots of free time & great cultural sites. Our guide was Bogdan & he was chatty & knowledgeable. He knew so much about the sites and seemed to engage with us far more than other guides.

Dan our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! He made a great trip even better with his knowledge, humour and giving a penalty for late returning guests! We would highly recommend this trip, especially if Dan is your guide. From the trouble making ladies, you know who we are!!

I was refused access to this trip at the coach pick up. I have a physical disability but am fit & know what I am capable of doing. We booked on the same castles tour with a different company the next day & I had no problem with them or completing tour of both castles. If you know what you are capable of yourself that should be enough. Funnily enough we saw the man who refused us the day before at the second castle, it was not his fault but company policy issues.

Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful however if you visit in the snowy period wrap up warm we had like a 50 minute wait to get în and it was cold! Our guide was brilliant and was almost militant in making sure we didn't get any line hoppers! Team Alex all the way! Top man😎💪 he was very informative of the traditions and cultural history of beautiful Romania. Thank you for a fantastic day out!

The three visits to Peles Castle, Brasov and Bran Castle were great. Our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly and ensured everything went like clockwork. Spent a long time on the coach but it was worth it.

This was a really good day out but it’s important to know ALL the costs and the long duration. We had Emanuel as our guide and Jonny as the driver. Both were really good. The meeting point was next to Grand Hotel Bucharest. Don’t get confused re. the coaches on the opposite side of Universitate square – they are for other tour companies. Once you’ve checked in with the QR code, we were split into groups and then the coaches drove round and collected us from where we were waiting at 7:00am. You need to be there at least 20 minutes beforehand because there are a lot of people. The cost for the tour was about €20, however, admission to the two castles is in addition and an extra €35/175 lei. You can either pay this to the guide on the coach, or buy the tickets yourself - but then not have a guide. We got to Peles Castle at 8:45 am and although we were first in line, had to wait 30 minutes until it opened at 9:15am. Be mindful that it’s in the mountains so a lot colder. Emanuel gave us a Whistle-stop tour and we only saw some of the ground floor rooms. Most of the castle is currently in scaffolding. There was a café and just one toilet for women, one toilet for men and it was a 15 - 20 minute wait to use them! I would’ve liked more time at Peles to have seen more of the castle and the grounds. We left at 10:30am. Next stop was Bran castle. We had about 1 and 3/4 hours there. The castle is more impressive from the outside. Looking around inside was very quick. You are given free time to look around the market that sells tourist junk and grab a snack. Final stop was Brasov and we had 2 hours there from 1:45pm. Lovely town with a mediaeval Square and plenty of outside restaurants. We left Brasov at 3:45 pm and got back to Central Bucharest at 7:30pm. Very heavy traffic coming back. I think we drove 400 km and it was a 13 hour day. This was on a Sunday. Emanuel was great and very knowledgeable. I would recommend the tour but it’s a shame Peles was so rushed.

We had an amazing day, our guide Emanuel and our driver Nicky were the best. Emanuel put us first by changing the schedule around to avoid crowds as much as possible which was amazing, definitely would book again and would request these guys if possible. Not a terrain for those unsteady on their feet as a lot of steps and cobbles at all three places. Excellent value for money

The tour guide was the highlight of the tour. The cost was cheap and I really recommend to everyone who visiting Romania.

This tour was the best choice of my whole trip to Romania with my partner! It was amazing. 1. The bus was extremely clean and the bus driver very good. 2. The tour guides were excellent! A special thanks to Alex for teaching our group about Romanian history, folklore and politics. 3. The destinations we visited were great and the routes we passed through, we saw Sinaia, Peles Castle, the Carpathian, Brașov and Bran Castle. 4. A little tip, think of questions to ask because the guides are more than adpet to answer them and open an amazing conversation. Also, have some water with you and mind that in Peles Castle the queue for the toilet is long so be patient :)
