My opinion Bran Castle is the better of the 2. Very organised, we had Eugen who was giving us information all through the tour on the bus which was very good. Both castle are unique in their own way. Brasov is a great little place, would recommend this trip for Brasov itself

We visited Bran and Peleș Castles. Both were interesting and worth seeing. Our guide, Petru, was like a walking encyclopedia with a lot of knowledge about the castles and their history. He was very friendly and easy to talk to, which made the trip even better.

Our Tour guide for the day, Otilia, was absolutely brilliant - a gem :-) ! She was full of knowledge of the places we went for the day and she certainly know how to entertain a bus full of tourist with information and a blast of good humour of Romanian cultures (weddings and funerals) interjected during our bus journey that had all of us in stiches (especially part my trip to romania was to attend a colleague's wedding here and I totally relate to her humour on the subject). If I had to rate Otilia, I'd given her a twelve out of ten ! Oh, the bus driver for the day (sorry, I can't remember his name) was brilliant too. This is a very good value for money trip and I highly recommend it to everybody !

Fantastic day trip from Bucharest to Peleș Castle, Brașov, and Bran Castle with my kids. Our guide, Otilia, was punctual, pleasant, and very knowledgeable—she shared lots of interesting facts and helpful tips for Bucharest too. We left at 7 AM, stopped at a beautiful scenic spot for breakfast near Peleș, then visited the castle from 10–11. Despite some traffic on the way to Brașov, we still had enough time to explore the old town. Otilia took attendance at each stop and made sure no one was left behind. The whole tour was well-organized and family-friendly. Our driver, Gelu, was professional and made the ride smooth. Highly recommend!
