“This was a fantastic tour. Silvio was a great guide and very knowledgeable; he explained the history of each place visited and ensured that we had plenty of time to see everything. Peles Palace is amazing and the extended tour with a smaller group was ideal. It was interesting to learn the history of Vlad Tepes and how it is related to Dracula.
