We had a wonderful day seeing the beautiful country side of Romania. Our guide Joe was excellent. We are going to recommend him to our friends.
Our group went on the Transylvania castle tour in April. We were quite pleased with our guide and transportation, we found everything wonderful except for the fact we only got to see one castle not two as advertised. Apparently Peles Castle is not open for interior tours on Mondays until later in the month of May, a fact known to our guide and later confirmed on the Peles Castle website. We only got to stroll through the garden and view some of the exterior. This was very disappointing. That information certainly would have influenced our decision in booking this particular trip since other options were available to us.
