Roger_B, Oct 2026

Day Tour from Brasov

An excellent day trip with Traian who gave us a lot of information about the places we visited in this lovely part of Romania. Bran and Peles Castles were very different but both fascinating in different ways. We fully recommend Discover Transylvania tours.

One day trip Bear Sanctuary, Dracula Castle, Rasnov Fortress from Brasov

Karen_F, Oct 2026

All round great day out

The bear sanctuary was an absolute must, Bran castle is a lovely building but aspects of the Dracula link were not displayed very effectively and more could be made of the full story to include Vlad the impaler. Rhasov fortress was a pleasant surprise even though we could not access the whole site, and very informative on Transylvania history

I had an amazing...

I had an amazing experience on my castle tour from Brașov, and I have to give a special thank you to our guide, Arlin! Arlin was incredibly nice, funny, respectful, and knowledgeable. He made the entire day feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. He had a great sense of humor and was genuinely wonderful company throughout the tour. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated how welcoming and comfortable he made me feel. It was so nice having a guide who was not only knowledgeable about the castles and history, but also someone I genuinely enjoyed spending the day with. The castles were beautiful and definitely worth seeing, but Arlin truly made the experience even more memorable. I’m very glad I chose this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Brașov. Thank you, Arlin, for such a great day!

Amazing Day with Tudor!

We had the BEST day with our amazing guide, Tudor. He made our experience to Peles, Bran, & Rasnov perfect! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He's communicative, knowledgable, and concise. He's able to convey all the cultural and historical facts and information you would be interested in remembering without bogging you down with the ones you'd forget. In addition, we were the very first group into Peles castle which made for a perfectly peaceful experience with great photo ops compared to the hundreds of people lined up in queues behind us! He catered the entire experience to our small group of three people (myself, my partner, and one other perfectly matched traveler who we enjoyed being with) What a perfect day to learn more about Romania, it's history, and see the beautiful sites. Thank you Tudor! You made our experience!!!

Memorable

What an awesome day. Adrian was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable in Romanian history. The day was so interesting as we learnt the history of each castle we visited. The 3 castles were all so different but all were well worth visiting. The restaurant that Adrian took us to for our lunch was fantastic. The food was lovely and all the staff were very friendly. Thank you Adrian for making the day so memorable.

Very good tour. Our...

Very good tour. Our driver/guide, Valentin, was very knowledgeable and gave us the history of Romania. He walked with us at each town and explained everything we were seeing. We really enjoyed this tour and learned so much. Just beware it is a long drive between towns and there is walking on cobblestones and up hill, plus some steps. Much of the drive is on back country roads. During our drive, he showed videos of the history of Romania. This tour was private and takes about 9 hours.

Peles Castle, Bran Castle, Rasnov Fortress and Sinaia Monastery Tour from Brasov

Jordan_G, Nov 2025

Guide with a heart. ❤️🐈‍⬛

The castles, fortress, and monastery were great. Our guide was very knowledgeable. But that’s not the highlight of the trip. We parked to go to the castle and we heard a cat meowing. We followed the sound to a pipe sticking out of the ground - it went about 2M in to the ground and there was a kitten stuck at the bottom. Our guide called for help on her phone and some employees from the restaurant came out and we spent about 30-45 minutes rescuing the kitten (we tried many methods). We were successful and I think everyone felt better for sticking around and doing the right thing. We are certainly taking home a unique memory from the trip.
