Private Day Trip from Bucharest: Dracula’s Castle, Peles & Brasov

Ian_M, Nov 2026

Halloween extravaganza to Peles castle, Brans and Braşov 1st class

Tavi our driver collected from hotel bang on as arranged. He was immediately friendly and spoke about the intenery We visited peles castle and brand castle and Braşov it was Halloween and extremely busy Tavi was able to get as close to drop off points as he could as weather was horrible Other people we saw getting of coaches drenched The knowledge of the tour was second to none and all my family said what a fantastic day out especially as Tavi was our guide I highly recommend this tour I have used them many times . It is our opinion that Tavi sets the standard in tourism and all should follow his lead Well done Viata see you on next trip 100%

From Bucharest: Bear Sanctuary, Dracula's Castle & Brasov

Lauren_Q, Nov 2026

Great all round trip

Fantastic all around trip with a mix of nature, history, literature, myth and legend. It’s a long day but worth it. Our guide Alex was great and to help beat the queues at Bran he reorganised the trip to get us there first thing and advised we purchased tickets ahead of time (9am slot if leaving Bucharest around 6.30am). You only need to purchase tickets if you want to go inside the castle (which was a must for me as it was the main purpose of my trip). However there was also so much to see in the grounds, a small market area and the village which we barely got to see as we spend our time inside so if you don’t head inside, you’ll still have things to do outside. I would avoid Halloween again as the decorations were pretty awful! Going back to our guide he communicated with us the night before and the morning of the trip. As the traffic can build up, he kept us on track and ensured we purchased tickets to keep things running smoothly on the day. We purchased the 11am tickets for the sanctuary before heading off to brasov for free time which was also a real highlight of the whole trip. If you have limited time I recommend as three locations so this trip has it all.

Great tour

Our tour guide Dan was super friendly and approachable and really brought a personal slant to Buchrest's history with true life experiences from himself and his family. Fantastic amount of information given which highlighted so many aspects of Romanian life. He also kindly provided recommendations for bars/restaurants to visit. Well worth doing this tour.

Mike_P, Oct 2026

Wow! I had no idea…

This was an OUTSTANDING experience! I was a solo traveler and the whole group was super friendly towards me and 4 other solo travelers in our group of 13. It’s wonderful to get driven to each spot and learn some context for each site before you arrive. Plus I had NO IDEA how beautiful Bulgaria is!!! Luciano is a WONDERFUL guide! He presents life in a unique viewpoint. The more you talk with him, the more he opens up! And our driver was excellent too! 5 Star!

Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Terry_R, Oct 2026

Transylvania Dracula Castle

Our tour to see Peles Castle, Bran Castle and the Brasov Historical Center was very special, enlightening and informative. Our guide, Santiago, was very helpful, thorough, thoughtful, kind and informative. He was very knowledgeable throughout the tour pointing out the important sights as we traveled out of Bucharest and into the countryside on our long adventure. Our driver, Romeo, was very good keeping us safe throughout the journey which was very much appreciated. The stops were very interesting and our favorite ones were Brasov and the Bran Castle. The meeting place was convenient for getting an Uber, etc. The one thing which can be improved is the comfort of the seats in the van especially for such a long voyage. They are worse than the worst coach seats on an airplane! That would be our only complaint. Thank you

Highly recommend to pay the entrance to both castles esp Peleş Castle

He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trip both enjoyable and informative. His insights into Romanian history and culture added so much value to the experience. The destinations were beautiful esp Peleş Castle, and the tour was a great way to discover more of Romania. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore these amazing places!

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Suzanne_Z, Oct 2026

Beautiful Castles

We had been contacted in advance to purchase our timed tickets for Pele’s Castle and our driver Claudiu made sure we arrived in plenty of time. We were actually first in line for entry when it opened at 9:15 am. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting. After the visit, we met back up with Claudiu and continued on to Bran Castle. While Bran Castle looks stunning from the outside, we found the interior a little disappointing. If you are expecting to see a lot about Dracula, this isn’t it. There is a small display in one section but the remainder is about other Romanian history. Our last stop was Brasov where we toured the town and also bought tickets to visit the Black Church. Our guide was from Brasov so he related many stories and showed us plenty of sites in the city. We chose not to have lunch in the town square but asked our driver to take us to a local Romanian restaurant. It was fantastic and there were definitely not tourists there for lunch. It is a long day of driving but Claudiu is very friendly and has a lot of local knowledge to share along the way.

Mark_J, Oct 2026

Best yet in our travels!

Our guide and driver Bogdan was very good. He was knowledgeable, engaging without being dominating, kind, patient, an excellent/safe driver, sported a good sense of humor and we learned a good deal of information about the history of the area and of Romania. Going to these sights was a definite must and they did not disappoint.

Small-Group Day Trip to Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Castle

Loretta_G, Oct 2026

Fantastic tour of Transylvania with its castles and unforgettable landscapes

The tour is well-organized and the time to visit the two castles and Brasov is all that is needed. The audio guide is very useful. The guide is efficient, precise, and methodical, though not always empathetic. The landscape of Transylvania with the Carpathians is enchanting. Peles Castle is very unique and deserves to be visited.

Camille_D, Oct 2026

Must do tour!! Buy castle tix now and pack snacks!

We had Otilia and she was the best and funniest guide we have ever had! She was incredibly knowledgeable and really made us aware of the history of the Romanian people and the castles. I feel like because of how thorough and funny she was the content really stuck and it allowed us to really appreciate the sites so much more. It is a very long day! So definitely recommend you bring snacks for the bus. And pro-tip you cannot buy tickets of the castles on site. We did that an really enjoyed it! But others on the bus did not and were sad they missed the castles. This was a fantastic tour and if you come to Romania you will miss out if you don’t see and hear all of these wonderful things!

Slanic Salt Mine Day Trip from Bucharest

Amanda_S, Jul 2026
