5.00I booked three days before the tour for myself and a friend. We had a great time. Mimi has so much energy and told us lots of history about each site, and was very kind and patient in answering our questions, especially about vampires! A really great day and we felt that we got to see the main sites in a really fun way and without having to hire our own car.
Sad to miss Peleş Castle

3.00Unfortunately the tour provider didn’t tell us to purchase tickets for Peleş Castle in advance so we missed out on entering this attraction but went to Pelesor (little Peleş) instead. Our guide Marius was very apologetic and did his best to make the rest of the experience worthwhile, and the tour operator has promised that he will message guests about this in future. It was in small print somewhere when booking (apparently) but we didn’t see it so were rather disappointed.

5.00A nice excursion from Brasov in a minivan to Peles Castle, Rasnov Fortress and Bran Castle. We were picked up in the morning on time at the hotel in Braşov by ‘Mimi’ in their clean Mercedes minivan. Apart from us, only one other guest had booked the tour. So it was actually a private tour. During the trip to Peles Castle, Mimi told us stories from the region to make the journey time interesting for us. After about 45 minutes we arrived at Peles Castle. This was followed by a short tour of the outdoor facilities (the castle is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but we knew this) before continuing to the nearby Sinaia Monastery. After the tour we continued to Râşnov (Rosenau) and the fortress of the same name. This is currently under renovation, which is why we could only visit the outdoor areas. But even that was very impressive. Afterwards we made our way to Bran Castle. Once in Bran we had enough time for a lunch break and to browse the numerous stores. This was followed by an interesting tour of the castle. After we had finished, taken all our photos and organized a coffee for the return trip, we strolled back to the car. We were even dropped off right in front of the train station in Braşov after consultation, so we didn’t have to worry about it anymore. Mimi has given a very great knowledge of the history and at each station very interesting lectures. On our next visit we will get back to her. Thank you for the wonderful day!
Great tour!

5.00Bogdan was an excellent guide. He took time to make sure everyone was able to enjoy the tour, some older and needing extra time walking. He had so much knowledge and shared much about Romanian history and culture.
Perfect Tour

5.00Romania is a wonderful place to visit and this tour which includes several castles and a monastery was fantastic. The tour guide, Mimi knew lots about each area, knew the best places to park and how to efficiently get in and around. Her English was superb and she was open to any questions about the sites we were visiting or Romania in general. Very safe driving as well. This tour is a bargain for all you get. I highly recommend it. Do note (as advertised) tour entrances fees are not included, but as it's Romania, they're all very reasonably priced.
