I booked a private tour so I could have my own timings and stops without being dependent of the rest of the group. My guide Nicki was excellent. He made a difference and it was a great day. We made the most of all the places we visited.

Liviu was a great tour guide! The trip was a few hours, so he made sure to stop for restroom breaks. He took us everywhere expected and more. We stopped at a great scenic viewpoint on the way to Bran Castle. He was very patient with us while we were in Bran Castle. We then went to lunch in the National Park, which was beautiful. We then walked around Brasov and saw the Black Church. Next we went back to Sinaia to see Peles Castle. It was closed that day (it was a Monday), but we went into the gardens and saw it. Liviu was so considerate that even though the tour was supposed to last 8 - 9 hours, it lasted almost 14.
Awesome Transylvania day trip

Liviu is a great guide. We was very considerate and knowledgeable. We went on a Monday, so Peles castle was closed, but he took us to a great spot in the garden that evening where we could take pictures of the castle. He also took us to Bran castle, Brasov, and the National Park, where we had a great Romanian lunch. During the drive he stopped at a great viewpoint for pictures. He never rushed us. The tour was supposed to last 8-9 hours but it ended up being almost 14 because he wanted to make sure we had a great experience.
Brasov spectacular

Want to know the castle of dracula, its history, visit the castle temporary residence of Vlad Tepes located on the outskirts of Brasov. It does not retain the theatrical touch as it was embellished by the queen. It disappoints that it is not the castle they use for dracula films as this is three hours away.
