The whole excursion was relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. Both castles were great although Gabriel (our amazingly knowledgeable guide) was obviously less enamoured with the bullsh#t created around the Dracula tourism industry With only 6 of us on the trip there was no rushing around or waiting for people. Brassov was nice to look around in the snow and we were really happy with both the venue and meals helpfully suggested by Gabriel

Very good experience with Ana. Despite a lot of traffic, which was out of her hands, she took us around Peles, Bran and Brasov, offering plenty of information on the way, and was always available for questions and explanations. The places are great, with a very Carpatian feeling, and there being snow created an even more fantastic atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

The bus was always on time and we managed to spend a good portion on time on each of the castles and Brasov. Serban was a wonderful guide both informative and joyful. Would highly recommend the tour to other people who want to visit these attractions.

Brilliant tour. Our guide Vlad was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend doing this tour.

The best guide!!! We will choose you again for sure !!
