Adrian was prompt picking us up in the morning as we settled into a pleasant drive to Braşov. Stopped for a quick coffee about halfway. Adrian showed us around Braşov and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. We then drove to Bran Castle and Adrian was so knowledgeable about the history as he gave us a private tour. Finally we went to Peles Castle and once again astounded us with his depth of knowledge. Amazing day, one a highly recommend.

My husband and I wanted to do a private tour so our hotel got us the cheapest deal possible which was EUR 180 for full day tour of 2 castles and Brasov. We enjoyed our day at our liesure. Must visit if you have a spare day in Bucharest. Both Peles and Bran castle were nice experience. Brasov town tour and Christmas market was amazing too. You have to pay entrance ticket to both the castles 30 & 40 RON.

Our first private tour and we were delighted with the experience. The tour was fast-paced, which was fine for us - be ready at 8 am. We saw so much more than if we would have tried it on our own. We were lucky to have a friendly guide, Michael. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, with excellent driving skills. Our plan of visiting Romania during COVID-19 end well, and I hope to discover more in the next years.

The ride to get the the castle was kind of long but with the wifi I kept myself entertained. The castle was amazing and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and explain everything very well. I had an exceptional day learning about Romanian history. I would recommend this tour to anyone if they are spending a couple of days in Romania.
