I would left five stars but there was lack of communication tour company and viator but saying that the driver/guide was very apologetic and really tried hard to make our day special which he succeeded. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of both castles. I think this is a new branch of this tour company to offer private tours so still has a few teething issues. Quality of transport was very good, very spacious and good air-conditioning, music. Given a bottle of water and chocolate bar when we got in the car was a nice little Touch.

This was an amazing experience! I was lucky enough to be the only person on the tour and it really felt as if I had a completely personalised experience. Alex and Cipriano were my guides and they were the perfect combination of knowledge and humour. The banter between them added to the richness of the day. We visited beautiful sites and we were very lucky with good weather so photo opportunities were abundant. We ate a meal together in Brasov, they definitely know the good places, and by the end of the tour I felt like I had had a road trip with two old friends. When I return to Bucharest I will be looking them up again!

We had a great trip with our guide Horia, who is very knowledgeable and very successful in narration. Transylvania is a very nice and authentic place to visit. Thanks for everything!

This was an amazing day out! Alex really knows the history of Romania. He told us a lot about the castles and a lot of background info. Perfect tour guide.

Our guide was super nice and chill. He was extremely informed and gave us so much interesting background information on Romania and the castles. I would a 100% recommended thus tour! The car was very comfortable and the two castles and also the mountain landscape very stunning to see. We shall come back to this area

Amazing tour, our guide Alex made is very special with many stories about Romania,knew all the answers to our questions, very easy to chat with and could not recommend a tour with Alex any stronger!

Alex is the best. The best guided experience ever. He is so friendly, and kind. I would do tour again, any time. Thank you Alex. Egészségedre!

Alex could have chosen anywhere and made it wonderful. First class guide, perfect recall and knowledge of history that he relays with humor and insight. Bram castle is more crowd than fun, but reviews warn us going in. Pele's us fantastic, and if you are very lucky there might be surprises in store..

We took this tour on 10th June, 2020. Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, who's also a good driver. :-) The castles are amazing, and their history is incredibly interesting. We highly recommend taking this tour with our guide 'the Highlander'. :-)

My friend and I had a brilliant day out with the “Highlander”. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The castles were beautiful and we had plenty of time to see everything. We were taken to a lovely restaurant near Peles Castle that served traditional Romanian food which was a real treat. Traffic was very bad but as long as you are prepared for this the trip is amazing. We had a great time even in the traffic with our own Queen concert 😀.

We had a good time and enjoy the tour very much, our guide tour “highlander” was very nice, very informative, very helpful and patient coz we travelled with 2 years old son which had a tantrum sometimes.. At the end of tour, highlander give us some souvenirs! Photo print and a bottle of wine! Very nice guy.. thank you! It was great experience for us..

It was a very nice trip. The guide was very motivated and we really enjoyed it visiting the two castles. I absolutely can recommend it!

Me and my wife had a great time visiting. Guide was on time, very helpful and informative. We enjoyed visiting both castles. Special thanx to Horia for hospitality and great soundtrack. 🤘🔥

Being on a big journey around Easter Europe, landing in Bucharest, one thing I wanted to do was going to Transilvania, visiting Bran's Castle. The best way to do this is to go with a guide; little had I known that it would become one of my best memories that would last for a lifetime, and beyond. We were three people and the guide, a Fantastic man from Romania: H. the Highlander, from, you guessed it, the Romanian Highlands; a guide with no one to compare him with, truly a unique Person! We had so much fun, discovered so many new things. It was a day that would become one of the best in my life so far. The Highlander truly loves what he does; with all his positive energy he made us so comfortable and happy that time passed so fast we didn't even realise it. We visited Bran's Castle, Vlad Țepeș, Dracula, something everyone has to do if they visit this wonderful contury, but not alone; let H. take you to that amazing region, let him guide you and learn things so fascinating you can't even imagine right now, reading this. Afterwards we went to the Summer residence of King Karol, the last home to the Royal Romanian Family; it was astonishing, no words could describe it with justice, it has to be seen, and felt. Ending with a wonderful dinner, eating traditional romenian food, we drove back to Bucharest, listening to amazing music that everyone of us four loved, having a great ride as we did on our way there. You won't feel like you've been in Romania if you don't partecipate in this tour, that's it. He also does a Bike ride around Bucharest, showing you the city and telling you its secrets, one thing I will do next time, because there will surely be a next time. Thank you again, H. The Highlander, you gave me a memory I will bring with me into the Universe, along the rest of all star dust, when the time has come, that is priceless. Multemesc!

On the day of the trip my Husband and I was expecting it to be cancelled due to a heavy snow fall the night before everywhere was covered in a thick layer of snow. How wrong we were Horia turns up on the dot at 7.30am. Feeling a little apprehensive about the journey because of the weather Horia assured us that his snow tyres were on and there was nothing to worry about. How right he was driving in Romania in bad weather was nothing like driving in England. His driving was excellent! It turns out that we were the only couple on the trip so we had our personal guide. Horia was incredible, his knowledge about both castles and the history of Romania were really good. We were so glad that we decided to visit both castles as they were both beautiful. Horia sat with us for lunch and recommeded a local dish we tried and thoroughly enjoyed. It was a long day and a little more expensive than some of the shorter trips but it was well worth the money and would highly recommend. Horia was telling us that he was an avid fan of Black Sabbeth he was amused when I told him that I was born and raised in Aston Birmingham around the same time as Ozzy. Many thanks to Horia for making our day so perfect and memorable.

Thank you for the most incredible day. Horia and Alex could not have been more knowledgeable about both the castles visited (and their associated history) and recommendations for places to visit in Bucharest. This tour was our first day in Romania and we could not have received a warmer welcome. Tour guides all over the world should be taking lessons in hospitality from Horia and Alex; Bike the City are first class professionals in what they do. Thank you both again for a fantastic day.

It was really a good experience to visit Cantacuzino and Bran Castles. Horia was an excellent guide, he made the long trip really interesting. Thanks

Professional staff and interesting facts all trip round. Almost private service, friendly staff. A bargain! Thank you for a good time!

Excellent service and knowledge from our guide Alex. He had very nice details to us and spoke English very well. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had a fantastic day with our very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide, Horia. The traffic was bad, but the tours we're fantastic. We've seen a lot of palaces, but Peles blew us away! It's the most spectacular palace we've ever been in. And the history of the Bran Castle and the stories about Val the Impaler ("Dracula") were memorable. Horia was incredibly informative and gave us a tremendous amount of useful information. We highly recommend this tour. Just be prepared for traffic on the drive there.
