Bran Castle Tours

Serban, our tour guide was on time and kept us amused. He was very knowledgeable about Peles and Bran Castle. The van was impeccably clean and we enjoyed the small group vibe. Our driver Peter was excellent and did his best getting us through the traffic. Serban also took all the pictures we asked him to and made sure we got the best views. It is a long day but well worth it.

Bran Castle as as expected beautiful to see lots of history with a dash of cheesy vampire myth thrown in. The bear sanctuary was amazing we saw loads more than expected and and the story's are truly touching some sad but with the hope they provide. Our guild Vlad was informative and engaging through out. we found the distillery was not to our taste but am sure others will enjoy the host was lovely. The Rasnov fortress is not to be missed its not a tourist trap and has amazing views of the area.

The traffic flow in Romania is very inefficient. As such, the itinerary is merely an outline. We made it to all three destinations, but our guide spent most of the trip talking about the traffic which made for a stressful and hectic experience. The guide had great enthusiasm but his energy was distracting and sometimes annoying. Unless you love the story of Dracula, Bran’s castle is a little disappointing.

Long day to visit the three sites but worth it both for the beauty of the castles and the city of Brasov. What really made the day was our outstanding guide Ioana, who filled our time with her passion, humour, authenticity and knowledge.

Our tour guide was a lovely very knowledgeable young lady(sorry her name I didn’t catch) the day was a long day from 8am until after 9pm but well worth it. Both the castles were interesting I preferred peles castle for the beauty inside. Dracula castle has a lot of steep steps in narrow corridors not an issue for most people but if you have any mobility issues it would be a challenge. There is a cafe at both castles the one at peles gets very busy but if you just step outside the entrance (where the bus drops you off) you will find a few local restaurants where it’s not as busy. We were given time at both castles to get a drink and snack. Braşov was a beautiful little town where you will have approx one hour to have a wonder and get a drink. On the way home we drove through some beautiful countryside in Transylvania we even saw bears. The drive is a long drive home over 3.5 hours you do stop for a comfort break. Please bear in mind that you are high up so take a jacket depending on the time of year.

Adriana is a very friendly and knowledgeable. She answers all of our questions. She really ensured our experience was personalized and enjoyable. Victor is an excellent and competent driver. We felt very safe in the bus. Some constructive criticism would be to keep clients informed of changes to the schedule. Highly recommend this tour!

Castle was lovely and very fairytale like. Prebooking the tickets was better for us, just the ticket office is not at the castle, instead down a street 3 minutes max away. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was a full day! For a small price we got to see so much, and had the sweetest tour guide. She told us very informative facts about our visits, she tried to help us out with our trip and gave us tips for the remaining of our stay in her country. A great experience! Thank you

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!

Although this is a big day out with a long drive, the journey was comfortable and well paced. Our guide was well organised and very informative. Both Peles and Bran castles are well worth seeing. Just be aware that Bran castle does require an uphill walk and also some narrow, steep steps within the castle. The free time for lunch/snacks at our last stop Brasov was much appreciated.

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.

1 one word: perfect! Recently I had the pleasure of traveling with Narcis, and it was truly a perfect experience! Narcis shared fascinating historical stories that brought our tour to life. One of the highlights was visiting Peles Castle, where Narcis regaled us with stories of King Carol I and the castle's rich history. We explored the stunning town of Brasov, and the scenery along the way was simply breathtaking. Narcis goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. Highly recommended!

I was able to learn so much about Romanian history and culture, from the help of the amazing Alex - our driver and guide. It was lovely to have a smaller group van for a more tailored trip and comfort as well. I highly recommend this trip. Some recommendations for travelers - make sure to eat breakfast and possibly bring a sandwich with you if you tend to eat on a schedule. I opted to wait for lunch until Braşov, which worked perfectly for me, but I didn’t have lunch until around 2:30pm. Don’t make any plans for after your tour as we probably got back around 9pm. Many restaurants around my hotel had closed for dinner already so I decided to order in some takeout!

Thank you Vlad for an amazing trip. Vlad is a licensed Romanian Tourist Guide and is incredibly knowledgable. He planned our trip based on the best opening times/tours for the day. He shared with us a lot of history about the bears, Bran Castle and Rasnov Citadel. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation. We couldn’t recommend this tour and Vlad enough.

The tour was great! Tour guide and driver (Serban and Narcis) were both very good on what they do! Picked up from a central location of Bucharest on time, arrival according to the schedule. It's really remarkable how many things we saw and learn in that day trip. Serban gave as several info ..not only about the places we visited but also about general Romanian history. Absolutely beautiful places💕Thank you
