“The trip was great way to see a lot in one day, but be aware that some of the stops will be very tight on time, you have very little time to read anything in Dracula's Castle. The company offered a guided tour of Peles Castel as it was sold out, so make sure to bring Euro or Lei for that, it was well worth it. Brasov was a really cute town and may be worth a separate trip.”
