About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sophiebN7469JL0 contributionsBucharest tour- brasov and pele castle. Serbian Riga as our tour guideI went on this tour with my partner and had an amazing tour guide, Serban Riga! Serban was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. I can be an anxious person and he was so kind and friendly that I didn’t worry! Constantly he checked throughout the day that people were okay, he took our needs into consideration (eg temp of the vehicle) and became our photographer as well at one point! Best tour guide I have had, he was funny, kind and so friendly! Thank you!Written December 1, 2024
- Jumrub0 contributions30 lei over charge for the entrance to Dracula castlThis was a very nice trip, however it was darkenf by the overcharging of 30 lie, the actual entry price for tractors castle is 70 Lie The Tall guide charged us 100 Lie for the entry fee, we discovered that other passengers paid at the entrance or pre-booked online for 70. Lie! He sent us a text night before telling us to get the exact money ready to pay him for the entrance fee ! He was very prompted at the beginning of the journey to collect this fee, and I am guessing this is before other passengers could inform us of the true cost. we was given orange sticker as the ticket to enter the castle! We was not given a ticket, we was rush past the ticket machines at the entrance and I am sure this was to distract us from the two true costWritten November 26, 2024
- Ioannis C0 contributionsPretty goodThe guide (Alex) was great and made the tour very interesting. The peles castle was awesome with so much history to learn and very interesting facts. The bran castle as a structure is very interesting but the "museum" is not good at all. So I recommend to visit it just to say you did and then take a walk around bran that is really cozy. The scenery is great and the staff leaves time for pictures, snack, a small walk around the places.Written November 24, 2024
- brightnik0 contributionsTime well spent.Petru was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Everything was great, with enough time spent everywhere. Brașov was beautiful. I would definitely consider keeping it as the base location when I come to Romania next time. Dracula's Castle has a lot of climbing, more like a leg workout day.Written November 22, 2024
- 45fatmay0 contributionsAmazing experience !Vlad was great guide ! He is a very nice person who is understanding, patient, knowledgeable. His historical and guiding knowledge was also great. We had a very nice experience on our trip. We wish Vlad would organize everywhere we wanted to go.. thank you very much again.. 🙏🏻❤️Written November 13, 2024
- Discover457420409950 contributionsFantastic trip! Great tour guide and breathtaking views!!!Fantastic day! Beautiful castles, towns and breathtaking views. Vlad our tour guide was brilliant - friendly, informative and great sense of humour! We came away from this trip learning so many things about Romania, Bucharest and the history of the different places we visited. Vlad even told us little nuggets of information throughout the day too! Highly recommended anyone to book on to this trip.Written November 11, 2024
- 97mattg0 contributionsAwful ExperienceAwful. We were a group of 5 and were at the coach at 7am and they told us they didn’t have our name on the booking, despite us receiving confirmation emails and details of where to meet, and the exact coach to get. The coach was full, so we were told a minibus would come for us. This never came - we waited for an hour and a half in the freezing cold. A refund now been issued but no further compensation given, despite us waiting for an hour and a half after being told a minibus would come and that we would receive a phone call, which we didn’t. Very disappointed.Written November 9, 2024
- chrisnorley0 contributionsenthusiastic presentationvlad’s explanation of the history and timelines of the castles and city was very impressive. his enthusiasm and enjoyment while explaining different topics made it more interesting to listen to. thanks vlad.Written November 6, 2024
- 977lemas0 contributions10/10!Trip was well organised and informative. The coach was on time when picking us up from the stops and the instructions were clear on how to find them each time. Would recommend this lovely day trip.Written November 6, 2024
- 924gemmar0 contributionsFab day all round :-)Travelled solo on the day trip to Peles Castle, Brasov and Bran Castle, met some fab people on this day trip.It was a long day as the return was 4 hrs to get back as was on a sunday but was well worth the long journey. Adrian our tour guide was great at keeping everyone informed re bus times, meeting places, information re the castles and local area. Would definately book again if I was to return to Bucharest with family/ friends :-)Written November 6, 2024
- monEnglish0 contributionsRomania castles day tour.We throughly enjoyed our full day trip from Bucharest for the castles tour. The highlight was Draculas castle on the day of Halloween our trip date. Our tour guide Adrian was informative and funny with his many stories. The trip was a long day from starting 7.15 am arriving back in Bucharest at 10pm! A must do trip when visiting Romania with stunning countryside in Transylvania region.Written November 3, 2024
- ianmU4562HB0 contributionsLong bus ride.Hate to leave a bad review but this trip was 13 hours from start to finish. At least 10 of those hours were spent on the bus. Did this tour on a Sunday and I’m told traffic is worse Sunday so maybe this trip is more enjoyable on the weekdays. Traffic was so slow that we didn’t have time to walk around Braşov and instead just drove through the town due to time constraints. We should have just skipped it entirely because the bus just slowly crawled through the towns jammed streets and it was not enjoyable. Maybe it would be better if they did plies castle first then Dracula’s castle and then end the tour in Braşov with passengers taking the train back to Bucharest to spare the awful bus ride back to town. The guide and driver did their best but the itinerary just doesn’t work.Written November 1, 2024
- carolinemP4657QX0 contributionsGreat day outGreat day out with a fabulous tour guide who was really knowledgeable. The castles were great although I did expect to see more Dracula at brand castle but was still not disappointedWritten November 1, 2024
- Beth M0 contributionsAMAZING TOUR & GUIDE (& coach driver!!!)Petru our tour guide was INSANE! My partner and I have been travelling Europe over the past few years. I’ve always been off the idea of tours with a tour guide as I’ve thought it would be quite boring and I wouldn’t be able to explore how I’d like. HOWEVER, after trying this tour, I will definitely be trying more. Petru was amazing. A great sense of humour and the tour allowed us to either walk around at our own pace or follow the group. We simply had to meet back at the bus at a certain time. There was an issue with the coach and within 10 minutes we’d pulled into a gas station and got onto a new one! Perfectly executed. Plenty of breaks during the drive, which I have to say went very very quickly! When we started out last journey to Bran Castle, there was some horrific traffic, that ever was abnormal for the locals. We were set to get to Bran castle an hour after it shut after being on a 1 mile road for almost 1 hour due to roadworks. Petru called the manager of Bran castle, who happened to be one of his friends, and we got to go round the castle at our own pace while it was empty. While this is an experience that isn’t promised in the tour, it was amazing as we didn’t have to get through crowds! Thank you so much for our tour! I will be recommending you to everyone!Written October 26, 2024
- Samantha D0 contributionsA very long day with several additional costsI was surprised to find that the entry ticket to Bran castle was not included nor was a guided tour. We just walked around on our own. We had a guided tour of Peres castle but paid extra to go to the first floor. Basically you are paying for a bus trip and minimum guiding. The distances covered are large and the traffic was bad so we did not get back to Bucharest until 10.30pm having left at 7.15am. A very long day. Both castles are actually quite small. Braşov is nice but was very busy the day we visited.Written October 21, 2024
