5.00Cool day out. The price is worth it as you safe yourself the hassle of having to go there and it’s really cool to see.

5.00The tour is a must do to experience the grandeur of the peles castle and see all the history associated with Bran/ Dracula castle along with getting to explore Brasov a bit. Our tour guide was patient and friendly in explaining as best as he could. As stated by many reviews, the tour does not include the entrance ticket for both places so I recommend buying them online for the date of your tour in advance and also maybe get the skip the line ticket for Bran as it’s pretty packed. The time is a bit stiff at each place and they try to be punctual so that should be something your aware of while exploring both places
Magical places, different from...

5.00Excursion to do without hesitation! Already the mine is really to see, it is beautiful and impressive, I loved it. The bus is comfortable, the driver pleasant and the guide fantastic. Very well organized. The agency is accommodating and professional, we had our plane at 7pm and they arranged to drop us at the airport on time on the return.
