The tour was excellent our guide gave a lot of information during the day. I was glad to have booked direct as I was then able to have good seats near the front and to have What’s App connection with the guide. It is a tight schedule so you walk quickly. Be careful when entering Peles Castle to take note of where to return. It is hard when you are walking back to take the correct route. I think the meeting point to return should not be the bus but the fountain outside or the Arch. I dropped a pin but had no connection to internet as it dropped to 3G I nearly missed the bus! To fit the 3 destinations in one day was possible you must allow for the tour to be a total of 12 hours due to traffic. All 3 places were more beautiful than I expected. Thank you
