Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Gillian_S, Nov 2025

Transylvania tour

LUCIAN was a fantastic guide. Well informed. Fantastic trip, well worth the money. Excellent customer service throughout from time of booking to the end of the journey. Coach was spotlessly clean and driver on time. There was plenty of comfort breaks and stop time for us to explore, get food, and see the sights. I would highly recommend using this company to book a tour with and will definitely use them again when travelling. I am so glad that my holiday rep recommended we book with them.

Our tour guide did a wonderful job at explaining procedures for our three stops as well as giving us the the history of the two castle's and Brasov. The van we traveled in was comfortable and our driver did a great job, too. Peles Castle was amazing, "Dracula's" castle wasn't near as nice and most of the displays were focused on the "Dracula" story. Brasov's main square has many restaurants to choose from as well as stores.
