Totally worth the money! Entertaining guide and very safe driver. Dracula's castle was more than anticipated. Pele's castle was more of a fancy palace and wonderfully decorated.

Vlad and the bus driver were very nice people, very professional. I recommend this tour. Due to the traffic, we spent some time on the bus, but they entrained us with stories about Romania history and curiosity.
