Pavel was a great host for the day

5.00Pavel was a great tour guide from start to end. Even prior to our booking, he communicated with us via WhatsApp and gave us options for our tour which was private as we had a wheelchair user and we had to cancel the group tour. Pavel was very informative, answered all our questions and shared so much history about Romania and more and he was funny too. We’d highly recommend the private tour as then you can do the castles as fast or slow as you want and same with Brasov town. Unfortunately we went on a Monday so Pele was closed but great from the outside and Bran is not even a little accessible. No lift to get up to the top of the castle, just from the outside. It’s 2025, Romania could do a bit better for accessibility but Pavel on the private tour did the best he could.

5.00We had the best time visiting Dracula’s castle, Peles castle and the great city Brasov. Our tour guide, Alin, made it such an enjoyable experience and it couldn’t have been better without him. He was very entertaining and gave us a great understanding of all the places we went. 10/10 experience!

5.00This was a brilliant day - long but worth every minute of the journey. From booking, we had good communication which was reassuring. Octavian, our guide, was excellent and he shared loads of interesting stories and his tour of Peles Castle was a highlight. We went to Brasov for lunch after Peles Castle and this break worked well for us, and then we enjoyed the trip to Bran Castle. Brilliant autumn holiday day!
