Great staff and great castles - Bogdan was a highly organised tour leader and with a wealth of knowledge to impart to everyone. The traffic sometimes proved to be challenging but in any case, Bogdan refined his schedule to accommodate this, resulting in a smooth and happy trip for all. Claudio the bus driver was very friendly and courteous too. A great success! Thank you!

Overall good tour - Overall it was a good trip but be prepared for it lasting longer than 12 hours….we didn’t get back until after 10pm. Our guide, Slyvia was excellent. She did a great job trying to keep a large number of people under control and trying to keep everyone happy. It was unfortunate that we had to queue for over 1.5 hours to get into Pele and Bran castles and we then had to rush through each place. It was worth it though just to get to spend a couple of hours having lunch in Braşov. The meeting point could be better organised too as there were about 200 people waiting and unsure which bus they were meant to get on.

The guide (Nicholas) was... - The guide (Nicholas) was very nice and professional, and the tour itself was very interesting and in my opinion is a must if you want to visit outside of Bucharest without renting a car. The only downside was that on our tour date both the castles were overbooked, resulting in huge queues, long traffic jams and finishing the tour exusted and very late. (But its not the tour's company fault, but it still affected the overall experience).

Extra €10 gives you nothing - The tour guide was knowledgeable but felt that extra €10 we did not get extra felt it should’ve been included in the tour anyway

Here's a tip, the customer is king, without them your business them your business is bust! - Try and avoid using this company, mainly due to the complete disrespect of customers and any sort of customer service. 1. Zero lack of planning and foresight of queue 2. No comfort breaks or planning for time to queue for toilets (I.e. 1 toilet in a cafe between 1000s of guest at Peles castle or to queue for refreshments. 3. No toilet on coach over a 13 hour day trip 4. Only 90 mins in total inside the castle themselves due to standing in line for tickets you absolutely HAD to buy from the tour guide. 1 guest bought their own tickets and the tour guide (Sylvia) berated him like a child in front of everyone. The worst thing of all was at the end of the day, we visited Brasov, as the time keeping in the day was so poor, 1 passenger arrived at the pickup point 10mins after the meet time due to a confusion of said time due to changes throughout the day and the coach left without him! With zero remorse shown by the tour guide, I personally argued to return back to collect him, based on identifying who he was from his passport left on the bus. Contacting him via instagram and personally speaking to him, whilst the tour guide was calling off a register, however had no contact details for 54 on board passengers - so what that was going to serve as a solution is only a mystery. Utter shock! We had almost reached the city limits and we did end up turning seeing after a heated debate. At the end of the tour, the guide, Sylvia, had the audacity to ask for a tip! Here's a tip, the customer is king, without them your business them your business is bust!
