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 ♥️”

“1 one word: perfect! Recently I had the pleasure of traveling with Narcis, and it was truly a perfect experience! Narcis shared fascinating historical stories that brought our tour to life. One of the highlights was visiting Peles Castle, where Narcis regaled us with stories of King Carol I and the castle's rich history. We explored the stunning town of Brasov, and the scenery along the way was simply breathtaking. Narcis goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. Highly recommended!”
