The trip was long. To a certain extent, it was due to traffic, which can’t be helped. Our guide Roxana was excellent. She gave enough history to understand the significance of what we saw, without bogging us down in details. She also did a great job of adjusting the order of things to optimize the day. She also made a great recommendation for a restaurant for lunch. It was hard to choose from all the menu offered.

Very good guide - I was expecting recorded commentary but Toodor was so much better than that. Full of information! The visit to Peles was spectacular - a really beautiful castle and the cakes in the courtyard cafe were yummy. Then a visit to Brasov which was a lovely town - plenty of time to explore and eat/drink at one of the many town square restaurants. Of course, as expected, Bran Castle was incredibly touristy but was worth visiting just to say you’ve been! Really nothing to do with the Dracula story though haha. The only downside of the tour was the very long drive - obviously not the fault of the company - thats just where it is!! By the way, the driving was faultless and we felt safe at all times. Thank you.
