“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!!”

“Our tour guide Charlie was really great! The day before the tour we received communication for where to meet and the day of our tour he arrived promptly. On the day of our tour there was a biking race that caused parts of the Transfagarasan Road to be closed, however I think the company handled it very professionally. They gave us the option to do the tour on another day or postpone the trip by about 4 hours so that we can still see the road and do the tour. We opted to postpone by 4 hours and we had a lovely time on the tour. Charlie was very knowledgeable…”

“Adrian drove us in air conditioned comfort from Brasov to the famous Transylvania sites. Our first stop was Peles Castle, which, in our opinion, is only rivaled by Versailles. Adrian‘s insights made our sightseeing much more enriching, and his ability to maneuver us through the very crowded Bran Castle was very fortuitous for us. My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone (without mobility issues) who wishes to see and understand Transylvania.”

“Emanuel was a super professional and friendly guide who arrived on time at our hotel for a 12 hour tour of Peleş castle, the town of Braşov ( where we had a lovely lunch) and then Bran Castle. He planned strategically so we could avoid massive crowds of kids off for Green Week, first doing Peleş Castle before the hordes of students arrived then going to Braşov for lunch and ending with Bran/Dracula castle. He was a safe, excellent driver and provided a large bottle of water per person and bags of snacks and sweets for the long ride. Also during the drive he provided interesting and thoughtful historical information…”
