Really enjoyed the day despite long delays in traffic returning to Bucharest which meant we didn't get back until about 21:30 which made it a long day. Coach was warm and comfortable and the guide was very good at explaining the historical background to the various sites. Peles was gorgeous in the snow and we enjoyed Bran and Brasov too. I'd recommend the trip and it was great value for the day

14 hours of fun! Our guide, Serbian, was simply amazing. Great character and attitude, made everything super interesting. It was long, starting early in the morning, but absolutely worth it, thanks to the awesome guide. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Alex was an excellent guide and the whole experience was incredible. If you visit Bucharest you should definitely book this tour!
