We had travelled to Peleș, Bran and Brașov on the 24th of April. The trip was amazing despite some technical problems with electricity at Peleș castle. Our guide, Vlad, was really helpful and informative. The weather was perfect for such an experience and we are grateful to the company for organising such a great tour. We would strongly recommend this travelling company and specifically this guide🙏
