“Long car ride out of Bucharest. Very interesting sites. The Braun Castle (Dracula) was very interesting but you need to be comfortable with narrow staircases and low ceiling passages in part of the castle. The countryside was beautiful. Lunch in Barshov was delightful and stunning town square.”

“Excellent day trip with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Radu to Peles Castle and Bran Castle. We arrived early at Peles and Radu made sure we entered first and it was like we had the castle to ourselves! Radu made sure there were plenty opportunities for photos and rest stops as needed. His easy going nature and attention to detail made the day pleasant and he ensured we were back at our hotel in time for an event in the evening!! Highly recommend!!”
