Vlad is great! Best tour guide we've ever had! We started with Peles castle (palace) and came away knowing the entire history of the Romanian monarchy. Next was a tour of the Bradu Monastery. The history of the place was amazing, as was the old chapel. Then a quick drive by of the Evermore Mansion on our way to Bran castle. The tour through this castle was thorough, going through almost every room. It really brought to life the medieval reality of stopping the advance of the Ittoman empire, as well as the fun fantasy of Dracula. We ended the tour with mangos. This is a fried bread with sour cream, cheese and a strong garlic sauce (to keep vampires away, of course!) that was heaven in my mouth!
If you are taking any tour in the Brasov area, Vlad is your man! His English is excellent and his knowledge of Romanian history is Top Notch!
