Bran Castle Tours

The trip was really fantastic in spite of it being a long day. The guide Sonia was really good in her explanations and led the tour inside Peles castle as well for those who had bought tickets. The timing at the various places of the itinerary were well spaced. Perhaps the stop at the fuel station on the way back was not necessary? All in all a good excursion.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
