  I was worried that we will be in cheap buses and have a bad service with the price. It was nothing short of what any other company was offering. We were very happy with the entire experience. The only problem I had was a short stop in. Braşav. Good tour guide, good bus and everything on time.

  Good trip, views ate great, hospitality amazing, all well organised and explained in details. Our guide was good, knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about Romanian history. Bus was super clean and pleasant to travel on. Generally a nice trip. Only limited time to site seeing really.

  Disappointing. Have to pay extra to see ‘torture devices/rooms’ Count Dracula was famous for. Most exhibits were about King Ferdinand and Queen Marie and their family. Not much to see. Peles Castle was more interesting but our tour guide was snarky and rude. Poor communication of info and left us to fend for ourselves at 1 point. Didn’t tell us we had to buy tickets for the castles on-line and ended up leaving us on the bus trying to figure it out, with the bad internet service. I don’t recommend Tudor as a guide.

• Great day out.

  We chose to be picked up from the Novotel. The pick up never came and only when we got in a WiFi area I got a message to say they waiting and the pick up has changed. This could have been sent to us a few days before, because I am sure they knew they don't pick up from Novotel anymore. Website should be changed not to give that option then. This was the main reason we came to Romania. Luckily we had 1 day free in the week and could reschedule for that day. It was great tour, but you don't get enough time at each place. The tour guide was really great though.

• Not worth it.

  Completely miss sold trip. If your idea of a great day out is to que in the cold for over 2 hours then this is the one for you. When we booked, the trip was for 12 hours, 7.30 am to 7.30 pm. We were told to be at the pick up by 7.10, in a text the day before, and if we were late we would not be waited for. Promptly arrived, difficult to find the guide as he held the sign with his name in, the wrong way round so you couldn’t see it! After a lot of walking up and down to find him, we were told to cross the main road to the coach, there were 2, not specified which to get in to! We were told when we departed at 7.18, that there were 3 rules, the first NO FOOD on the coach AT ALL, or drinks. Never be late, they would not wait, and 3, if we wanted anything text the guide, do not leave our seats. First stop was at a petrol station to use the 2 toilets available and we were to be back in the coach within 15 minutes. 3 coach’s stopped there, you work out the maths. No chance to wee and eat. Next stop Peles castle. Very treacherous pathway covered in ice down to the castle. We had been told there were no toilets available there, they had a problem with their water. Nice. It said on the booking info that being on a tour we would miss the queues. We were queuing for over 2 hours. It was freezing. There was no information to why. The castle was covered in scaffolding so the most beautiful castle was not even to be seen! Inside amazing, but by this time I was feeling quite sick and faint, no food or drink yet, and standing for 2 hours in 3 degrees, was not helping. My friend was absolutely freezing. Back in the coach and off to the next petrol station for a wee with about 80 other women, 3 cubicles. We were then asked if we wanted to eat at Draculas castle or later at Brazov. It was now gone 1.30, it was another hour or so to the next castle, and the rest of the coach (mostly Italians, who had been eating in the coach 🙄) decided a longer stop at the Brasov stop. Draculas castle not as ornate but interesting all the same, loads of steps, up to the castle snd in the castle. Little market to look around, and managed a hot chocolate from a vendor, then back on the coach! Next stop Brasov. When we got there, we were supposed to have a walking tour. This comprised of following the guide to one building to tell us a bit of that history then to the square to wander ourselves. Finally got some food, although by this time I was feeling so sick I ate very little. Coach again, 5.55 sharp. We waited 10 minutes for the coach to arrive. We finally got back to Bucharest at 9.40. A very long day. To sum up, if you have all the time in the world. Never need to eat or pee, and enjoy the cold, go for it!
