Due to the current covid situation, I had a private tour that day, which was awesome. Mathias was a great guide, has a lot of general Romanian knowledge along with historical. This made for great conversation on the way to and from the castles. I highly recommend the tour and would gladly do it again with friends and family in the future.

The tour exceeded all expectations. The tour guide was very knowledgable and courteous. The locations highlighted in the tour were extremely interesting not to say anything about the fun at the Halloween parties. If you have never been to Romania, this is an excellent first trip. Accomodations were good and the daily travel not too overbearing. Great Time!!!

Spooky stories, mysteries, legends about cruel vampires… This is how the two castles in Carpathians, Peles and Bran, are regarded. After a tour, travelers have a revelation. Romania is amazingly charming, Peles Castle looks like taken from a post card and instead vampires, they learn stories about loyal kings and daring queens. It is more than a cultural trip that everybody enjoys it, it is a pure, beautiful, Romanian experience. Discover true stories beyond the legends!

Inclusions: Bottled water, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Private transportation

Exclusions: Food and drinks, photo fees ( Peles Castle 35 RON/ person)

Ionut is an awesome tour guide and host. He arranged a special one day tour for us to include the two castles, plus a home cooked lunch on a farm with the farmer's family, and at the end of a long day, a drop off at our airport hotel. Well worth the reasonable cost and much more flexible than other tours we looked at. Go with Ionut and you won't be disappointed! Happy travels in Romania!

Very enjoyable day for us all. The tour was well paced and the perfect blend of diverse sights and varied landscapes, Adrian was extremely knowledgable and really opened our eyes with some fantastic insights and anecdotes on the history of Romania, and much more. It wasn't information heavy at all, we had lots of laughs too. We would definitely recommend The Fixers for anyone who wishes to explore the beautiful sights of Romania outside of Bucharest.
