Unforgettable Day in Transylvania
We had an amazing day with Octavian in Transylvania. The castles, countryside and town of Brasov were like a fairytale, and he did a wonderful job coordinating logistics and sharing color on the history with us. Don’t miss this!

Peles and Bran castles and Braşov tour - full day of excellent sites/guide
Wonderful tour with our guide Andrei to see Castle Bran, Peles Castle and Braşov. Highly recommend Andrei he was on time very professional and knowledgeable about each place we visited. It’s a long day but we really enjoyed all of it. Leaving Bucharest at 7 am got us to Peles before the crowds and it helped to enjoy the castle and grounds. It’s stunning to see how beautiful the interior rooms are each carefully curated and furnished with the finest art and fixtures. Highly recommend this tour!

Great for solo travelers!
This is a great way to visit two beautiful castles and Brasov from Bucharest! The pickup was easy, the bus was very comfortable and the sites you get to see in a day are well scheduled. Wear good walking shoes, from the bus to the castles is a bit of a hike. Brasov is a perfect pit stop in the middle of the trip to enjoy a lovely lunch in a very cute city. All in all I would recommend to anyone!

Too l Iong a d rushed
Too long and at second stop too rushed
The wash closets hard to find and most charge unless your at a restaurant.
The walk paths unlevel and for older people hard to navigate. The driver and tour guide kept us safe and helped when needed.

A long but very enjoyable day.
I enjoyed this day very much. We had a full bus and a very good guide. I enjoyed visiting both castles. Our guide advised against comparisons, but I did favour Bran Castle. I loved Brasov, as a beautiful regional city.
Travellers should be aware this is a long day. Both castles are inundated with visitors.
