Despite several emails, no communication from the agency that handles this tour as to whether the palace would be open during a national holiday prompted us to cancel altogether. The last thing we wanted was to pay $400 for our group only later to be told the palace would be closed and only the gardens could be enjoyed. Tour operators should proactively inform people of any changes to itinerary. It wasn’t until I had asked our hotel front desk to call 4 times and confirm our suspicion that we eventually had no choice but to cancel. One day lost to go sightseeing on a short visit to Romania.

Emil the tour guide is EXCELLENT! He’s a local celebrity having appeared on a local TV show for many years. He really knows his history. Gabriel, the van driver, is an excellent driver. We did the private tour for just the 2 of us. Definitely the way to go. We even stopped at a local eatery and had had mici for lunch! Highly recommend this tour to get a great background on Vlad Tepes/Dracula.

Costel is an excellent tour guide. Very informative about all aspects of this trip and discussed broader cultural topics very knowledgeably. Well worth a private tour if you have half a day to fill in. Car very comfortable with seat belts and air conditioning. The Mogosoaia Palace is beautiful and the lake setting of both sites is stunning.
