What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Instantly charming with a maze of cobbled streets and baroque squares undulating downhill, Romania’s cultural gem has a magic all of its own. Franz List and Johan Strauss were drawn here in the 19th century, and in 2007 the city was voted European Capital of Culture. In fact, the country’s first hospital, school, library, and pharmacy were all established here, so there must be a spirit of enterprise in the air. (Lonely Planet).

          Highly recommended!
          You can't avoid being in a vehicle for several hours, but the coach was comfortable and provided WiFi. The guide was not only knowledgeable, but amazingly pleasant and passionate about the history. I was traveling alone but the others on the tour were fun to be with and around. Couple things to consider ahead of starting the tour: - Restrooms are a bit sparse - You may want a portable charger as you're in the van for a while It was about 13 hours from pick up to drop off, but I'm sure that can vary.

          Chasing Dracula 🧛🏼‍♀️
          Had an amazing, beautiful, snow day chasing vampires 🧛🏼‍♀️. Serban, our guide and Peter our driver were phenomenal. We did not have to wait in long lines due to their strategic planning and master driving manipulations of the snowy highways. NO ONE GOT LEFT!! Serban will understand this when/if he reads the post. No reason to stop by the supervisor’s home to complain (we know where you live ) 🤣😂. I would recommend them 1000 % of the time

          Worthwhile, but a long and cold day
          Beautiful location in the Carpathian Mountains. The communities near the castles are reminiscent of alpine villages. Both castles are a bit run down and can be crowded, but are worth seeing. Brasov Castle plays up the Dracula theme a bit much, but the historical information about past rulers is very informative. Expect to be cold! There is no heat in these buildings and much of the tour is outdoors. I recommend heavy coats and toe/hand warmers. There also is 6+ hours of driving if you’re coming from Burcharest.

          Serban was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area & extremely kind. I recommend going on this tour, especially if you want to hit all the important spots in a short time.

          Best Transylvania experience
          We loved it!! Our trip to Peles Castle, Dracula Castle, and Brasov was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the amazing guide, Serban. From the start, everything was perfectly organized and comfortable. Serban is a true gem — his blend of humor and knowledge made the tour both entertaining and informative. He shared stories and historical insights at every stop, keeping us engaged throughout the day. Not only was he a fantastic guide, but an incredible driver too. The tour is made thoughtfully, so you have plenty of time to explore each destination without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for an stress-free, enriching, and enjoyable experience, this tour is an absolute must! Thank you, Serban, for making this trip so memorable.

          1 day trip to Bram and Peles castles
          Laura was lovely. Very friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend booking a smaller group trip, more flexibility and less waiting around for people.

          Best guide in Romania
          Serban the guide made our day in the best possible way. He planned the things with his long experience and avoided long waiting times. He was helping us with the correct fuel stations where we can find clean restrooms and guided to nice restaurants. 10 out of 10 for guide and the company. God is Romanian ..

          Amazing experience to Bulgaria with an amazing guide!
          We had a fantastic time on our tour to Bulgaria with Serban! His energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making the whole experience enjoyable and fun. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and jolly, which created a warm atmosphere for everyone in the group. We hit some traffic and ended up running late, but Serban was so understanding and graciously waited for us without any hesitation. It truly made a difference in our day! Overall, Serban’s positivity and dedication made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommend him as a guide! Thank you, Serban!

          Beautiful trip for my husband’s 50th birthday
          What a lovely day! We started off at the agreed pick up point on time, joined the mini-bus and the rest of the group compiled itself. First stop was the service/fuel station, quick trip to the bathroom, a coffee/pastry or usual light snacks available. Then to Peles Castle (note, November 2024 scaffolding outside); absolutely amazing, the interior is even more spectacular. You will be thankful for your guide, Mathew who was very informative throughout. It should be noted that there can be absolute chaos actually getting into the the castle, we were in a queue waiting as we are programmed to do. So and slowly but surely, herds of people were by-passing us, soon it became apparent that there is major queue jumping going on and no order is preserved from the venue. This is a real shame as it is a major health and safety risk of crushing/crowd control. As you get closer to the entrance, it really feels as though it may just take a few crazy people to start pushing and can end dangerously! If you are travelling as a group, it seems as though your leader gets you to enter together as per group. Next stop, Bran Castle, you will get a chance to have lunch before entering. We had grabbed some market food as we wanted to look around for the hour beforehand. Note, stall holders will only take cash and ATMs are available. Then to the castle, there was a queue but more organised than Peles. The castle is smaller but still super amazing to admire and take in the history. Last stop was Brasov, beautiful town, would be nice to spend the day exploring if travelling on your own. We had approximately an hour or just over and managed to see the tower to the views and grab a hot chocolate from the main square. We felt as if it were enough for us as the day was quite a long one. Peter, our lovely driver, met us at a more convenient spot to save our legs from waking which was very much appreciated at this point. I have to mention that we met the most amazing group, I have never been on a trip with friendly, warm, funny and kind people. If I had to ever do a group trip again, I wouldn’t change anyone on this trip, they truly made it worthwhile for us! Positives: Speak for themselves, the people, the group leader Mathew and driver, Peter- they were lovely The sights, it’s an action packed day (don’t make dinner plans as it could get very late if you hit traffic) Small group Time efficient Negatives: The queue system or not, at Peles (although this is the fault of the Castle organisation) Maybe for some, it can become a long day, but it’s the only way to see as much in the short time

          Poor planning and communication
          Matel was very aloof with us. He didn't communicate clearly when the bathroom breaks or when meals would be available. The group struggled several times to understand when/where we were going and for how long. The day was a 16 hr day. This was not due to traffic but poor communication and planning.

          Nice trip with minivan!
          Great trip with nice stops. A long day, but worth it. The only thing that we missed was that we had time to sit down and have proper lunch. We had maximum 1 hour stop, which is a bit short if you want to take some pictures and eat lunch.

          Tour of Peles Castle, Dracula’s Castle, and Brasov.
          Our tour was amazing!! Our driver and tour guide were prompt in picking us up at our hotel. We had about 3 more pickup points and then we were on our way. Our tour guide, Mathew, was very good! He described things we passed and gave us some very interesting Romanian history. We did stop at a gas station about 1.5 hours into the drive for coffee and refreshments. Our first stop was Peles Castle. Although it took about an hour to get in, well worth it. The castle is so beautiful. Mathew once again was an amazing tour guide, explaining everything. Next up was Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania. We had an hour to get lunch and visit shops before the tour. I loved this castle and its history. Lastly we went to the medieval town of Brasov. It was quite charming, lots of restaurants and bars. Excellent pastry shops. I highly recommended getting snacks and water at the gas station, or when In Transylvania. It’s a long ride back to Bucharest, about 3.5 hours. Use the bathroom before heading back also. We drove straight back. Lastly, PLEASE remember to TIP the driver and tour guide. Several people did not tip. Our driver drove through rain and snow. He was so careful, safe and professional. Our guide was so informative. He had so much to share . I highly recommend this tour.
