Overall, I would rate the trip very positively, with the exception of the entrance ticket prices for the castles. The prices offered by the company were two to three times higher than the actual cost of purchasing the tickets directly at the destination. For example, I personally paid €54 for three tickets to Bran Castle, while the company had quoted €240 for the same tickets. Apart from this issue, everything else was excellently organized. The guide provided clear explanations in two languages, and the time allocated for each stop was sufficient to comfortably visit all the destinations included in the itinerary. Overall, I was very satisfied with the organization and quality of the trip.

This is a fantastic excursion—you absolutely must go. The beauty of the Carpathian Mountains is unique, and the castles are beyond words. Plan a whole day for the trip, because it lasts twelve hours.

It was nice to see the 3 castles and Brasov. Unfortunately since it was on a Sunday in August there was much traffic and the tickets were sold out to the first castle, which was the one I most wanted to see so choose not to go inside any of them. The whole tour took 12 1/2 hours since we got stock in the traffic jam several times. Best is to go on a Wednesday or a Thursday. Monday and Tuesday some are closed.

We visited three castles and the city of Brasov—an itinerary that offers an authentic taste of Transylvania’s magic. The three castles offer very different experiences: atmospheres, stories, and landscapes that change completely from one stop to the next. One in particular gave us the unique sensation of being embraced by the Carpathians—a moment that truly left a lasting impression. The tour was organized with exceptional punctuality, despite the day’s inevitable hiccups: long lines at the castles, heavy traffic along the way, and tight schedules to keep. The management was impeccable and allowed us to enjoy every stop without stress. We only got a brief glimpse of Brasov, given the “hit-and-run” nature of the tour, but the view of the Black Church is definitely worth the stop.The guide proved to be knowledgeable, passionate, and able to convey history and atmosphere in a highly engaging way. It’s a perfect tour for anyone looking for a first taste of Transylvania or for travelers on a tight schedule who want to see a lot in a single day.

Hi, the tour had a lot of problems due to the weather—heavy rain and road issues. Our guide, Stefan, was fantastic—he was always looking for the best solution, and besides speaking Spanish, he helped us with everything. The only thing I didn’t like was the first stop at Miércoles Castle—I think that stop was unnecessary. Pels Castle was spectacular, and Stefan gave us lots of information and made the tour very entertaining.

The tour host lady was great. The bus ran on time and was punctual. The only thing I would improve is have more legroom, its was really tight. Also having wifi in the bus would be a great feature as the tour lasts all day and most of the people are tourists. But overall, its was extremely enjoyable!
