I was originally thinking about booking a group tour. But the thought of being in a big bus with a lot of crowds and fighting the line made think that private tour is the way to go, which I'm so glad I made this decision.
Toni is a professional, excellent communication. He knows exactly how to optimize the trip to get ahead of the line. In Peles castle, we were basically the first in line, then 10 min later, the crowd from the buses came. It made a huge difference of coming a little early. We basically tour the castle before everyone else. The castle was so beautiful, well worth the trip alone.
Next we went to Bran's castle, took a very scenic route through the mountain and valley. Bran's castle is okay in my opinion, a little gimmicky. I'd say spend more time in Peles castle and Brasov. That's the advantage of using private tour, you have the flexibility
Then, we went to Brasov, I had a nice meal at the square. Then do the walking tour with Toni, learning about the history and interesting facts of the area. Finally, we went to see the black church.
Toni picked and dropped me right at the lobby of my hotel. Talking about the convenience. This private tour well worth the money. Don't be stuck in a bus, go with Toni in personalized tour with local guide!
