Mini bus pick up was on-time and we were quickly off to Peles Castle with our wonderful guide, Alex, who told us a lot about the history of Romania. He was very entertaining and made the long journey very enjoyable. Plenty of time to look around Brasov, with free time to stop for a bite to eat before heading to Bran Castle. Again, lots of history from Alex around the origins of how the legend of Dracula and Vampires came to be, and time for us to explore the castle. A small market was at the base of the hill that leads to the castle selling goods and food. Journey back allowed some time to snooze after a busy day. All in all the trip took approx 12 hours from pick up to drop off but it was amazing to see.

Great experience! Everything went smoothly, from the booking to the ride as well as the experience itself. All the tours and different stops were planned well, we always had time to explore on our own after the guided tour, and our guide recommended all the best foto locations. We had a great day, I recommend!
