He also helped make our day extra special by assisting me in my marriage proposal during one of the castle tours. The tour itself is wonderfully organised and Peleș Castle in particular, is stunning.

“If you’re looking for a tour that’s just a checklist of pretty places, this isn't it. This was so much more. Our journey through Romania’s iconic castles wasn't just sightseeing, it was a moving, immersive experience that left an imprint on the heart. From the moment we boarded the bus, it was clear we were in expert hands. Our tour guide Petru, was an absolute gem. He was hilarious, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just recite dates or facts; he told stories. Stories full of passion, pride, pain, and resilience. Through his words, we felt Romania’s turbulent past come alive. You could feel Petru’s deep love for his country…”

Tour guide offered to give back 80% refund. ( we didn’t get anything yet) I don’t think we will. It’s mostly for young guys to drink and explore.”

A full-day guided trip from Bucharest to Peleș Castle, Bran Castle, and Brașov Old Town, with scenic mountain rides and ticket help.

“After some confusion about who was picking us up we got very lucky with guide Steffan willing to take us in his minivan instead of the big bus. This guide is an absolute gem and went above and beyond to make our day great! 100% made up for the rocky start in the morning. Steffan is also very knowledgable about the area and gives loads of interesting info. Peles is beautiful, Brasov is lovely, Bran castle we only saw from outside (other people from the group did go in, we did not want to). Beautiful daytrip, but be prepared for long drives. It is worth it though! At least Peles…”

“Having recently completed a similar quest in Sibiu, we had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it was not as well done as the one in Sibiu. The directions were not as clear and some of the clues were confusing. It was still enjoyable to wander around Sighisaora and the historical information and stories provided at each stop were good. This quest could use a little improvement.”

I loved her amazing energy that made this tour fun. I would happily book more tours with Mihaela.”
