Very nice trip. Firstly, I would like to travel by train. But the public transport is not convenient, it is impossible to visite these three places in one day (maybe but difficult). The guide and driver are very nice and professional. The Peles castle is interesting, and Brasov is a beautiful city. The Bran castle is not recommended. If you visite by yourself, The bran castle is not necessary. If you don’t want to waste time, this trip is the best.

The guide kept us informed and was very knowledgable on the way to the castles, pointing out all the sights and the history / culture. I was really looked after when I became travel sick so thank you so much Mattia. I felt this trip was well organised and would recommend

From the moment we were picked up, 720am at our apartment, Vlad was so happy and smiley! Our guide was so knowledgable of Bucharest, Peles and Bran castle, engaged in conversation so much, kept it exciting! He was an excellent driver, took care of everything so that we were at ease, the day was stress free and simple. Amazing English too. Peles castle.. wow and bran was amazing too. Two castles so amazing on different scales.
