My husband and I were very pleased to be able to book a tour on the unlikely day of New Year's Eve! Nick took excellent care of us, providing a most fascinating overview of the history, and answering our endless questions. We very much enjoyed our visit to the beautiful Peles Castle, although for us, Bran Castle was far too touristic, with some forced exhibits to tie in with Dracula and the occult. Yet it still seemed a must to visit that castle just the same, and the area around Bran Castle was fascinating, with many stands selling delicious traditional Romanian snacks such as Sorici. We had a wonderful lunch in lovely Brasov where we discovered the Romanian desert Papanasi. Many thanks again to Nick for his excellent driving, his dedication and enthusiasm, and all of his tips, including his favourite writers!
