Great private tour and great tour guide

5.00This is a terrific tour, one that I highly recommend. The visits to both castles were the highlights, and each is unique, offering different perspectives on Romanian period architecture and its associated societal culture. The freedom to stay as long as I wanted at each rather than being restricted by a time limit made the experience even more rewarding. Most importantly, my compliments go out to my tour guide, Christian, who was in all honesty responsible for making this tour memorable. He is a very bright, personable and articulate young man, with deep knowledgeable about Romanian history and culture. These attributes, together with his customer-centric focus and attention to detail made for wonderful and lively discussions during the long car rides to the three attractions and back to my hotel. I can’t speak highly enough about this private tour and Christian; I heartily recommend both to others.
Amazing

5.00Long car ride out of Bucharest. Very interesting sites. The Braun Castle (Dracula) was very interesting but you need to be comfortable with narrow staircases and low ceiling passages in part of the castle. The countryside was beautiful. Lunch in Barshov was delightful and stunning town square.
Great Trip in Romania

5.00The trip was outstanding. We saw Peles castle, had time to walk around the city of Brasov, and then visited Bran, or Dracula, castle. While very crowded, it was in a fantastic setting and well worth visiting.
One of the best tours...
