“Adrian was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, he took good care of us and gave us lots of information regarding the day. Peles castle was closed (it’s closed Mon & Tues) but was beautiful from the outside. Brasov was lovely, we had lunch at La Ceaun which was delicious. Finally, we went to Bran Castle, where we paid to enter the castle. Although reviews were mixed, we were glad we went in. Adrian was not pushy with selling tickets, he gave passengers a QR code where we could buy tickets from the official online retailer, although we opted to pay cash when we arrived at the castle (around £18…”

“An amazing trip from Bucharest to Pelisor Castle, Brasov, and Bran Castle. Our guide Mihai, whose English is excellent, was extremely knowledgeable and shared wonderful information with us. Nicholaus, our driver, was safe, very pleasant, and also knowledgeable and eager to share information with us. The larger Peles Castle was closed for the month of November, but we enjoyed the smaller Pelisor castle. This was a long day trip, due to traffic, and we arrived in Brasov after dark. We loved the trip, however, and would recommend it to others.”

I loved her amazing energy that made this tour fun. I would happily book more tours with Mihaela.”
