Amazing guide tour

A long, very worthwhile tour

This was a very nice, well-managed tour. Camillia is a very good, knowledgable guide. We left on time, the bus was quite comfortable with wifi on board. Peles Castle is beautiful, with gorgeous rooms. There spot for outside pictures is reached after you have gone through the castle, and makes for great pictures (see photo). Bran Castle is more basic, but has an aura because of its association with Dracula (even though the real Vlad Dracula did not spend much time there.) Several rooms are dedicated to Dracula videos, statues, pictures, etc., which we thought was not a good idea. The castle also has a lot of memorabilia of Queen Maria of Romania, who had the castle renovated in the early 20th century. There are quite a lot of stairs to climb if you want to see the whole castle, including a very old-style stone stairway. Once you get done with the castle, do walk in the surrounding park area because that is where you get the best pictures. Brasov has a very large, beautiful town square. Unfortunately, we only had an hour in Brasov so there was not much time to explore. I did go into the Black Church, which has a certain Gothic majesty, though the inside is almost totally devoid of any frescoes or icons. It was initially built as a Catholic church, but was turned into a Lutheran church when the local Saxon populace converted after the reformation. Later, it was partly destroyed by a fire giving it its dark exterior appearance - hence its name.
The lunch break was at Bran Castle, and you have to be quite quick in making your choices - especially if you want to do a sit-down meal (which is possible). We did not find the street food on offer especially appetizing, but the restaurants have a lot of good choices.
Overall, a long but very satisfying tour.

Good value and fun tour of the iconic castles of Romania!

Reasnoable price for a full day tour that involved long hours of drive across 3 different locations. Our guide, Matthew (not sure of spelling) was punctual, interactive and provided interesting information about the locations. There was sufficient time to explore and have some food, buy souvenirs etc.
Not bad, not great

The tour was okay. The sites are impressive, however, better logistics would had made the experience better. In the venues it was easier if you pay with cash. Instead of making a stop at an ATM the tour guide made use do a 30 mins line ( which apparently could had been 1 1/2 hours on a busy day) to get our tickets.

The tour guide was terrible. He was driving like a maniac. I felt sick the whole tour because of his driving my friend had the same experience. we were scared. Also he was very pushy on his comments that we had to give him good review, and tips...also he was constantly changing the times of meeting point and he was simply very annoying person in general. I would never take a tour with this guy again. On the pros the places you visit are nice, amd worth to see. All i think is that the company should talk to this guy so that he changes his attitude. I would not repeat this tour at all.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback. We had a long and detailed discussion with the guide as we do not tolerate this kind of behavior among our guides. Unfortunately, he seemed to have a bad day, and we apologize for the less-than-ideal experience you had.
Nice to hear you have enjoyed the places and the landscapes along the mountain roads.
Hope to see you again sometime!
All the best from Bucharest!

Nice tour to 3 main places outside Bucharest. Comfortable ride with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide.
Since the tour includes 3 places and the distance from Bucharest is long, there was an expected haste - to be able to see everything. This slightly undermined the experience for me. If you like to take your time in absorbing the history and beaty of each place, I'd recommend to visit no more that 1 or 2 places in a day (instead of all 3).

Myself and one friend did this tour with our tour guide Serban. He was very knowledgable and friendly, and tried to accommodate everyone on the trip all day with different requests people had. I would definitely recommend this trip to people looking to see Transylvania and the castles there.
The best, most personalised tour, love it.

I couldn't fault this tour in the slightest, our tour guide made sure we had everything we needed and continued to provide more when she could. She had the greatest knowledge of the history of the castles etc and even when we asked questions she wasn't hesitant to answer... some things we knew from Google she proved wrong so couldn't fault her performance. The timing was perfectly on point so was never late and there were no tourists in the majority of my photos which was great although this was November. Our group only had three people and me and my boyfriend took up two spots but it allowed us to ask more questions which was essential. Stefania we love you your amazing. xxxxxx
We enjoyed and was happy with this tour

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
