See the communist memorial — Cantacuzino
Picked up at our lodging and guide/driver did everything he could to minimize walking. The castles do require a lot of stairs, so beware. Peles castle has some of the most beautiful woodwork anywhere. Cantacuzino is beautiful on the outside. Although not mentioned by the guide, I found to be a great allegory for the communist time in Romania. They stripped the castle of everything — just as the communists stripped the Romanian culture of their artists, writers, scientists and national identity. It’s worth a visit to see how throughly the communists were. Bran castle was decorated for Halloween and was very dark. It took a lot away for the visit for me as I am more interested in history. The guide was very good except he was difficult to understand at times — partly because he talked very fast and road noise had its affect.

We had an excellent tour...
We had an excellent tour our guide Valentin was great explaining things as we went around and answering all our questions. He was friendly and engaging, didn't rush us and gave clear instructions of where to meet when we had free time to explore. Our transport was comfortable as Valentin has a 7 seater vehicle and there was just 4 of us. Whilst it is a long day with a lot of travelling it is well worth the drive especially Viscri and Sighisoara

Wonderful day tour
Great day visiting Bran Castle, Peles Castle, Rasnov Fortress and Sinai Monastery. Alina is an amazing tour guide. There were only the two of us on the tour in the end, so it was basically a private tour. Alina is so knowledgeable and is from Braşov, so she is local.

Bran Castle is of course...
Bran Castle is of course the most iconic because of Dracula, and it was interesting, but it was good that we got there early to avoid the crowds. If you would have to fight the mob and have it take twice as long, it might not be worth it. Peles Castle was much more grandiose and aesthetically pleasing. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a good experience.
