The tour was great! We spent a full day of different scenarios and stories about the history of Romania. We would have loved to see the interior of Peles Castle so we wouldn't recommend to visit in November since it's closed for maintenance. Other that, it was a beautiful day :D
The tour went ahead despite me being the only customer. Exceptionally good customer service. All entrance fees are excluded and they comprise a significant fraction of the tour price. So carry some RON cash with you.
