“Our tour was very nice. I have to say many thanks to Mario, our guide, who made our trip great. He picked up us from our hotel in time, explained everything during the tour, guided us in a perfect way during the castle visits, and helped us to understand and learn the history of any of the places we visited.

Review of the private Brasov tour to Caraiman Monastery, Peles, Pelisor and optional Cantacuzino Castle, with practical advice on value and timing.
“The main attraction (at least for me) on this private tour were our visits to Peles Castle, and to Pelesor, the smaller residence next to the castle. I loved both of these places. The technical features King Carol incorporated into the castle never cease to amaze me -- this is the second I've toured it.
