The tourist guide was so kind and funny all the time, she was always searching that we were all, she wait for us, the bus was fine, comfortable, the trip in general was a good experience and I recommended the booking if you come as a tourist and don’t have so much time, of course the places need more than 12 hours, but this tour is perfect for know them, both castles worth it, but in personal Peleş castle is bigger and more beautiful, if you have the chance you shouldn’t miss any of them
