About 100 kilometers from Bucharest and 44 kilometers from Ploiesti, the Slanic salt mine is a recognized destination for balneal and touristic activities since 1853, when it was declared a tourist destination of national interest in Romania. Among the superlatives of the salt mine (especially the Union Mine), the most important tourist and health objective in the resort, there is a huge volume of excavated salt, about 2.9 million cubic meters, which led to the creation of cavities with gigantic volumes, respectively 14 trapezoidal rooms totaling about 80,000 square meters. The 14 underground rooms have an opening of 10 meters to the ceiling, 32 meters wide at the bottom, and the height is 54 meters. The depth of the salt mine is 208 meters. The impressive dimensions granted it the title of the largest salt mine in Europe.

Alison_P, May 2026

A great afternoon experience

After arriving in town we decided this would be a great way to check out around town. Alan was a great guide he explained about the city, the history and the culture. He really looked after us, gave us time to take photos and was very patient. Would highly recommend this as a way to view what the city has to offer

RichardOwen_P, May 2026

Fantastic

Lucia was an amazing tour guide. She set up the pace and laid down some general rules (like if you want to leave early just let her know so she doesn’t keep looking for you, to let her know if you need the restroom etc) We walked and learned about it history while Seeing the sights of Bucharest in a little over 2 hours. She also used a microphone in louder areas to make sure everyone could hear her. She was open to questions. Highly recommend- book on a Saturday so that there is less car traffic

Very good tour, you need...

Very good tour, you need to buy Peles castle tour tickets before the date of your tour to secure a visit inside. The guide Alin was very knowledgeable and friendly he made every effort to make sure there was enough time at each place without rushing Toilets at the castles were annoying as there were always such long queues but that is not the tour operators fault, we had great weather which really helped especially when visiting the garden at the last castle which was also an extra charge.

A Great Way to Spend a Day in Bucharest.

Our guide Mahalia was wonderful. The tour started off with a walking history of the area. Once we built up an appetite we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch. We then walked over to the main farmer's market and attached flea market. As we wandered around our guide bought a few items for us to share later. We then sat down, we had a beer with some great local sausage, cheese, cherries, and more. Best of all we found out that your fee for the tour goes to a non-profit that teaches school children!

This was a great...

This was a great experience! I really enjoyed Blan Castle, Peles Castle, and our time in Brasov. Our guide, Emmanuel, was great and shared a lot of interesting information with us. I'd definitely do this tour again. I'd recommend bringing snacks and water as you do stop but there are also long drives in between. And use the bathroom whenever one is available as the bus does not have one!

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest

Georgia_A, May 2026

A good option if you are...

A good option if you are short on time and based in Bucharest. We did Peles Castle, then lunch in Brasov, then Bran Castle. We got 1.5-2 hours at each stop. There are lots of tour groups so both castles were very busy. Note: entry into the castles is extra, and the driver and the guide hope for tips at the end (so bring cash). The day is long because of the distances and traffic (we left at 7am and returned to Bucharest at almost 8.30pm). Bus was clean and quite comfortable (but you can't eat on it). Tour guide was quite knowledgeable. If you want to explore Brasov, bring your own lunch because restaurants take their time serving you and prepping food. If we had more time, we would have liked to stay a night in Brasov or Sinaia and done each castle on different days.

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov - Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Valeri_F, May 2026

Book This!!

Absolutely stellar experience! Our private day trip to Dracula’s Castle, Peleș Castle, and Brașov was unforgettable, and Pavel was a huge reason why. From the very beginning, Pavel was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to spend the day with. He kept everything organized and stress-free, which made the long day feel smooth and enjoyable. He shared fascinating history and local insight without making it feel like a lecture, and he knew exactly how to balance information, humor, and time to explore. Peleș Castle was absolutely breathtaking, Bran Castle was such a fun and iconic experience, and Brașov was charming and beautiful. Pavel helped make each stop feel special, and he was thoughtful about timing, photos, recommendations, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the day. This was one of the best tours we’ve taken, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Romania. Pavel is an outstanding guide, and we are so grateful for the experience!

Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

A Brilliant experience with Claudiu

We had excellent communication before the trip, including confirming the correct time to book tickets to Peles Castle, text updates for pickup, and an introduction to our driver, Claudiu. He met us directly at our hotel and we began the journey towards Peles Castle, stopping halfway for a coffee break. Peles Castle was absolutely beautiful and well worth the entrance fee. 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 underwhelming in comparison. Our final stop was Brasov, which is a truly beautiful place. We were recommended a fantastic restaurant called La Ceaun, the food and service were both excellent and we spent around 90 minutes there before heading back. There is quite a lot of driving on this tour, but Claudiu regularly offered to stop whenever needed and made the journey enjoyable with his knowledge, humour, and friendly personality. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.
