Peles and Transylvania in a day - This was a long but awesome day. We saw so much and we would never have been able to accomplish it without our guide Ionela. She kept us on pace so that we were able to see all that we wanted and this was despite the traffic and crowds of the weekend. Peles castle is beautiful and the area is breathtaking as well as interesting. The tour was a good mix of guided and free time. Ionela was very accommodating to our needs and presented interesting facts about both Peles and Bran castle. Would recommend to anyone wanting to cover as much as possible with limited time and with a home base in Bucharest.

Fantastic - Everything was so so perfect and ALIN was beyond helpful and informative. Not only did we do all the sights at our pace and comfort, he also helped us out on his own accord when our luggage was found at the airport. That you so so much for a beautiful day, many many jokes and a lot of laughter ♥️
