The tour was very well time managed (which was my main concern before joining the tour as I heard other tours would end up getting back to Bucharest at 12am). Alex’s timing was perfect - we got back in time for dinner in Bucharest. The highlight of the trip was definitely Peles Castle! So beautifully designed and built - a trip worthy of your time :)
