One of the most important things that makes a trip a big success is the guide. Our Guide was Sergiu and thanks to his charismatic character we enjoyed this trip very much! Of course the views and the places we visited were amazing and beautiful but non the less Sergiu kept everybody in a playful great mood all the time - the way he told the stories and the way he planned all the stops and rest points for all the group to be comfortable. Thank you a lot!

First of all the agency was very organized and the guide excellent and fun. About the places, Peles and Brasov are beautiful and totally worth it. They are a must see. "Dracula" castle on the other hand (which as you may have heard there is totally no connection to the real Dracula/Vlad) is just a small castle, beautiful indeed from the outside and cute from the inside. Not really a must-see though.

Amazing tour guide! Always had the groups best interests above everything else, making sure everyone had maximum time at each place and had plenty of breaks. Emanuel was full of information and a very naturally entertaining guide. The trip is a long day but it was very fun and definitely worth it 😄
