Must do in Romania - This tour is worth it because Brasov is such a nice place to visit, so as the two castles that you will are included in the itinerary. There is enough time to see the 3 different sites. The tour guide, Sonia, is the best as she is very knowledgeable and organised. She is also very funny and personable.

Mixed: don’t schedule on Monday or tuesday - The trip was too long. Peles castle was closed for the day…we came later on a different tour, and were able to see the inside. Make sure you don’t schedule this trip on Monday or Tuesday when the castle is closed. Bran castle was really cool, however. The trip back was incredibly uncomfortable because they couldn’t figure out how to turn the heater off in the bus.

Could be improved - I joined the full day tour from bucharest to peles castle, brasov and bran castle. We were picked up at 740 am at the university square in central bucharest which was only a few mins walk from my hotel which was convenient. The guide was good, she was enthusiastic and friendly and shared a lot of information throughout the day. However the tour was let down by the lack of air con on the bus. On one of the hottest day in summer , it was very unpleasant to be sitting hours in a bus which was not blowing out any cool air from the vents at the top of every seat. There is also no curtain at the window to shield the passengers from the hot sun. The tour can be improved if the company invested in improving the most important asset during the tour which is the bus that ferries the passengers.

Disappointing - On the first stop, Peles Castle, the inside was closed, the outside was completely covered for renovation and, out of the 45 minutes we were given, I stood in the restroom line for 25 minutes. Our guide did not interact with the guests at all, only the bus driver. She gave her spiel about the specific places we visited, but nothing else. No information on the country, education, healthcare, government….nothing. She took no questions. There was not much consideration given for restroom breaks. It was advertised to “skip the lines”. That did not happen, and unfortunately it was pouring rain on top of it. Very disappointing tour, and I’ve always had great tours with Viator.

Horrible experience - Sonia our tour guide was extremely disrespectful towards the people taking the tour. She publicly humiliated many times a few people. Terrible service. Ac in the bus not working properly. Not enough time per location.
