We found this tour really beautiful and characteristic, Vlad our guide is a fantastic person, very professional, prepared and funny. He told us everything about the castles and the city of Brasov, including some funny curious things.
We're very happy and we suggest to ask for Vlad as tour guide!

We loved our trip to Bras castle, Peles Castle and Brasnov. The whole experience was very easy from beginning to end. We booked with tickets included and our lovely guide, Eugen, bought them for us when we got to the castles. He made the tour the success it was, as he was really informative, with a dry sense of humour and couldn't do enougth for any of those on his tour. I have to say that the coach was also very comfortable and the commication from Eastern European Experience first rate.
I also used Headout's customer services to answer some questions and they were very helfpul.

The audio guide on the bus was very informative, the actual guide Roxana was very friendly and knew lots of extra facts. It was good to have stops at the petrol station to stretch your legs after lots ot time on the bus. We would've liked a little more time in all of the places to take in the absolute beauty of the castles and city but its understandable as its a long day already. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone, we loved it.
Veronique
The tour was well organized, and the guide spoke very understandable English, even for French people like me who don't speak English very well. The driver is a very good driver.
As far as the visits are concerned, the Château de Pelés is a must. It's magnificent!
Bran Castle is not extraordinary, but we were happy to see it. Not much information on the Dracula legend.
Brasov is a very large city where we had 1h15 in the very pretty pedestrian center to visit or eat around 16h15.
Bring a picnic to nibble on in the bus.

We had one of the best tour guides ever. She was so sweet, full of information, and tried to guide us through as much as possible in terms of history, architecture, culture, etc. We had a great time despite the bad weather! The only problem that we had with the tour is that it wasn't a "Skip-the-line" ticket - we had to be at the queue and wait for about 25 minutes for the huge groups to pass inside.

The process is easy. Irina, my guide, is personable, pleasant, and extremely knowledable about the Castle. In addition you could tell she is passonate about her job. That rubs off.
This was the first guided tour I've ever taken and this experience has sold me. Highly recommend this tour.
