I would recommend it. If you do choose the tour , on your free time in Brasov try the Ograda Restaurant - excellent quality of meat and food in general not very crowded and close to the tour meeting point ♥️”

He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and ensured that we got to see everything on our trip despite some delays due to overcrowding (not his fault at all) at Peles Castle by efficient time keeping. Can highly recommend this guide and tour - thank you again Mircea!”
