Braşov is worth the trip - Rodica, our tour guide took care of us sensationally well, Bran Castle & Peleş are crass mass tourism, Braşov was worth the trip.
If you want to see and experience a lot in a very short time (with traffic jam 13h..) with top price-performance ratio is the right place.
Best of all: small group (about 15 people) with very good headsets on the tours.
Rodica is happy to provide information on many background topics, perfect.

Dream come true! - Every stop was memorable, but my highlight obviously is Draculas Castle. It was a long drive, however not noticeable because the scenery is lovely, the tour guide very knowledgeable.

Beautiful mountains outside of Bucharest. - Loved the mountains and beauty of Transylvania. Our guide Sonia was superb, offered many great suggestions and information about Romania. Dracula’s castle was difficult to see - lots of narrow stairs with no handrails, tight spaces, low ceilings, very claustrophobic with too many people crowding in. We couldn’t wait to get out but you are stuck in the “maze” of rooms until the end, no turning back. Nothing much to see inside, very ordinary furnishings. I would recommend just taking pictures from the outside. That being said, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip to see the wonderful mountainous region outside of Bucharest city.

Come experience the beauty of history. - If you love history, you can experience it on this tour. First class experience from Peles castle, to Brasov, to Bran castle. All with the backdrop of the beautiful and forested Carpathian mountains. An experience you will remember for years to come and look back on fondly.

Bran Castle not worthy for a visit - I think it's really waste time and money yo visit Bran Castle Nothing more historical thing you can see there, just commercial Vampire thing.
