We went on a Tuesday, Peles Castle is closed on this day, so we had an hour to see it from the outside. Maybe on days it is closed, half hour would be fine, giving extra time in Brascov .”

“I booked this trip last minute, and everything went smoothly from start to finish! I received a confirmation message in the evening, and another one in the morning with all the details and our guide's contact information. Our guide, Rodica, was absolutely exceptional. She spoke perfect English, and her explanations were clear and easy to follow, even for non-native speakers. Her sense of humor and quick wit added so much fun to the experience! You could tell she is truly passionate about her job, she kept sharing interesting facts and stories, even on the way back, pointing out different monuments we passed. It was such a treat to have someone…”

“Great trip. Plenty bear spottings. Our guide Bogdan and driver Jony were awesome! Gave us plenty time at each spot and great recommendations to make efficient use of limited time at each spot - this was really helpful! Jony did a great job stopping/ slowing safely to allow us snap the bears. He navigated the transfagarrsen road at a pleasant pace and in a safe manner. Bogdan set the house rules (about feed ig bears, keeping distance etc.) in a polite and humourous manner - it was nice touch. Winding road is worthwhile and so is the lake at the top!”

Small-group day trip from Bucharest to Peles Castle, Brasov and Bran. Guided, air-conditioned transport, Brasov walk. Castle tickets extra.

“Seeing all the sites, castles, and towns were very nice. This tour basically consisted of all on your own time and not really guided tours. You have to pay for the castles, so all you’re basically getting is a day drive there. What the tour did not mention is how rough and winding the drive would be. One got very sick with motion sickness.”

“Our guide, Lucian David, was good, amusing commentary. Transport was in a comfortable 20 seater minibus. First stop was Rousse, pleasant but nothing special. The church in Arbanasi was well worth seeing, amazing frescoes and good views, would have liked some free time as village was beautiful. Excellent pizza restaurant for lunch in Vileko Taranova and stunning views all around the town. A good walk up to the fortress, definitely worth doing for amazing views and surprisingly modern frescoes in the church. All in all a great day and good value.”
