A fantastic day out! - This was an amazing experience! I was lucky enough to be the only person on the tour and it really felt as if I had a completely personalised experience. Alex and Cipriano were my guides and they were the perfect combination of knowledge and humour. The banter between them added to the richness of the day. We visited beautiful sites and we were very lucky with good weather so photo opportunities were abundant. We ate a meal together in Brasov, they definitely know the good places, and by the end of the tour I felt like I had had a road trip with two old friends. When I return to Bucharest I will be looking them up again!

Well Worth Doing - Alex could have chosen anywhere and made it wonderful. First class guide, perfect recall and knowledge of history that he relays with humor and insight. Bram castle is more crowd than fun, but reviews warn us going in. Pele's us fantastic, and if you are very lucky there might be surprises in store..

An amazing day at the castles - We took this tour on 10th June, 2020. Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, who's also a good driver. :-) The castles are amazing, and their history is incredibly interesting. We highly recommend taking this tour with our guide 'the Highlander'. :-)

Excellent Experience - My friend and I had a brilliant day out with the “Highlander”. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The castles were beautiful and we had plenty of time to see everything. We were taken to a lovely restaurant near Peles Castle that served traditional Romanian food which was a real treat. Traffic was very bad but as long as you are prepared for this the trip is amazing. We had a great time even in the traffic with our own Queen concert 😀.

Good trip - I would left five stars but there was lack of communication tour company and viator but saying that the driver/guide was very apologetic and really tried hard to make our day special which he succeeded. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of both castles. I think this is a new branch of this tour company to offer private tours so still has a few teething issues. Quality of transport was very good, very spacious and good air-conditioning, music. Given a bottle of water and chocolate bar when we got in the car was a nice little Touch.
