Top Bucharest Private Sightseeing Tours

Our host Host Delia, explained about Ghosts, Urban legends and myths and Romanian folklore, she was amazingly knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her culture, we learnt so much. Well worth the experience which took two and a half hours so we got our steps in. I would recommend.

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.

A breathtaking and inspiring masterpiece, Peles castle ! Thanks to Bogdan, we got fast access to enter into the castle. We had peaceful moments and ample time to admire the collection inside the castle. Brian castle, it’s a very simple and steep clifftop castle. The royal garden and lake below the cliff made it a tranquil place ( forgetting that we were at the Dracula proximity)! Brasov, a memorable medieval town !
