An amazing day at the castles
Jun 2020
We took this tour on 10th June, 2020. Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, who's also a good driver. :-) The castles are amazing, and their history is incredibly interesting. We highly recommend taking this tour with our guide 'the Highlander'. :-)

Excellent Experience
My friend and I had a brilliant day out with the “Highlander”. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The castles were beautiful and we had plenty of time to see everything. We were taken to a lovely restaurant near Peles Castle that served traditional Romanian food which was a real treat. Traffic was very bad but as long as you are prepared for this the trip is amazing. We had a great time even in the traffic with our own Queen concert 😀.

Memories for a lifetime, and beyond
Feb 2020 • Solo
Being on a big journey around Easter Europe, landing in Bucharest, one thing I wanted to do was going to Transilvania, visiting Bran's Castle.
The best way to do this is to go with a guide; little had I known that it would become one of my best memories that would last for a lifetime, and beyond.
We were three people and the guide, a Fantastic man from Romania: H. the Highlander, from, you guessed it, the Romanian Highlands; a guide with no one to compare him with, truly a unique Person!
We had so much fun, discovered so many new things. It was a day that would become one of the best in my life so far.
The Highlander truly loves what he does; with all his positive energy he made us so comfortable and happy that time passed so fast we didn't even realise it. We visited Bran's Castle, Vlad Țepeș, Dracula, something everyone has to do if they visit this wonderful contury, but not alone; let H. take you to that amazing region, let him guide you and learn things so fascinating you can't even imagine right now, reading this.
Afterwards we went to the Summer residence of King Karol, the last home to the Royal Romanian Family; it was astonishing, no words could describe it with justice, it has to be seen, and felt.
Ending with a wonderful dinner, eating traditional romenian food, we drove back to Bucharest, listening to amazing music that everyone of us four loved, having a great ride as we did on our way there.
You won't feel like you've been in Romania if you don't partecipate in this tour, that's it.
He also does a Bike ride around Bucharest, showing you the city and telling you its secrets, one thing I will do next time, because there will surely be a next time.
Thank you again, H. The Highlander, you gave me a memory I will bring with me into the Universe, along the rest of all star dust, when the time has come, that is priceless. Multemesc!
