I travelled with my partner, mum (who is a pensioner) and my daughter (who has Down's Syndrome) for context. Communication with the tour company was great, they Whatsapped us the meeting details, a link on Google maps and answered any questions we had. Sonia, the tour guide was great with us, very understanding and helpful. Peles Castle My daughter has walking difficulties, and she's not in a wheelchair. There are stairs involved, both up and down. Most have bannisters. There's not a huge amount but more so on the way down. There's a lot of flat surfaces, lots of rooms to look in. It's quite a large castle. Free for carer and disabled person. Bran Castle. Free for carer and disabled person. You do have to prove with documents. (My daughter has downs syndrome, which you can clearly see and they still wanted proof) The access card worked for us from the UK. There is a lift, which they don't tell you about. For those that can walk, there are a lot of steep winding stairs. I recommend

Vlad is a very nice guide and the tour was very enjoyable. Both castles are nice in their own ways, and the scenery is lovely after leaving Bucharest.

Adriana was a great guide, we had a problem with the reservation and she was the only one to care and help us solve it. She was very kind and comprehensive with us. And she did a great job with the explanations of the different places we visited. We Really recommend her.
