5.00Really enjoyable tour of the two major castles (Bran & Peles) with a visit to a third (Cantucuzino) as well. The guided tours of Bran & Peles are must-dos, but less so Cantucuzino though - many of us paid to do it as it was raining heavily at the time, but really you could save yourself the money and just spend the time in the gardens. We could have used a bit more time at both Bran and Peles - I appreciate the tour company want to show you as much as they can, while they need to allow for traffic between the various sites too, but both felt a little rushed. Shout out for tour guide Alin (Maya Tours) who did a great job both as driver and guide for our bus.
Go with these guys!

5.00Our guide Mario did a good job keeping all the participants in line. I think we had about 20 people in our group. I felt like he was giving attention of each one of us throughout. He gave us a plenty of time at each location. He was flexible and went above and beyond for those who needed extra attention.
Amazing tour to visit the beautiful castles of Valaquia and Transylvania.

5.00Marion and the other guy were superb, very knowledgeable, friendly, polite, pleasing, and very accommodating. All the sites were spectacular, the weather was perfect. My wife and I had a wonderful day. I could not have done if if I had rented a car.Mario, like he promised me, took care of all the entrance tickets, and in the end I paid him. It was very smooth. Mario is quite the perfect tour guide. The other gentleman was also very polite and accommodating. The tour was also very affordable. The van was very comfortable and Mario planed every detail perfectly. He was also very punctual.
Well worth it!

4.00The tour is very beautiful. The guide who spoke Italian was very skilled. More hours would be needed, at least 10 or 11 hours. It is not possible to visit all five. We only saw Pelisor from the outside. I recommend it for a quick visit in one day.
