All Brasov Tours & Excursions in 2026

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

Alin and driver Dragos kept us on track through a long day. Alin was upbeat and knowledgeable, and provided interesting commentary on the area and the castles. Luckily we arrived at Bran early enough to avoid serious crowds. I was surprised how many tourists there were at both Bran and Peles in September! Definitely worth arriving early at Bran as it has smaller, tighter passageways and might be claustrophobic for some not used to crowds. Peles is too big to see the entire castle but you get to see enough. It's very opulent and the grounds and surrounding garden were very pretty. The smaller monastery was interesting as was our final stop, Cantacuzino Castle. (Check out all the art work displayed around the property- very cool!) Because of the tight schedule and travel times between stops, Cantacuzino was the only place with enough time to sit down and have a proper coffee/snack without feeling rushed. This was my first trip to Romania and I didn't want the hassle and stress of renting a car to drive to the castles. The downside of any tour is that you are on a schedule and don't have time to linger. i would have liked a bit more time at Bran and Peles. I also recommend bringing your own snacks. There was limited food at the Bran castle and while there were several sit down restaurants at Peles, there was not enough time to order anything. There is one snack bar offering pizza and pastries to go but the line was too long. I found vending machines near the Peles entrance that offered flavored crackers, cookies, and drinks. Overall, we had beautiful weather and a nice group of people, so no complaints. I recommend this tour to anyone with limited time in Brazos without a car.

Romona was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of knowledge on Romanian history. The way she weaved these facts and stories throughout the day kept us engaged and on the edge of our seats for the entire tour. I would highly recommend Romona and this tour to friends and family.
