Peles and Cantacuzino Castles Small Group Day Tour from Brasov

The tour to Peles and Cantacuzino castles comprises beauty and history in one. Peles is Europe's first electrified castle with all modern utilities including central heating, running hot and cold water, central vacuum cleaner, an electrical elevator and much more already from the beginning of the 20th century. Visiting Peles Castle is almost like being inside an art work itself, every step we take inside we get mesmerized by every small detail, the different carvings, paintings and furniture piece competing with well known castles and palaces around the world. Cantacuzino Castle was the summer home of a well known politician of the 19th century Grigore Cantacuzino. He used to be one of the wealthiest man in Romania at that time and decided to construct this authentic monument with a breathtaking panorama to the Bucegi Mountains.

Wild weather and great trip to Transylvania.

Radu was our driver and gave us great tour. He took us to the main attractions and let us decide how long to take at each site. We had time to walk around on our own. We had a wild thunder storm in the afternoon that blocked the main road from Brasov with a mudslide. Radu took us on another route through the countryside that most people don't see. He was very knowledgeable and friendly which made the day very enjoyable.

Fantastic Day Out of the City

This day trip was perfect. We had a private car, although a little tight in the back. The castles were very interesting, lunch was fabulous and the walk through Braşov was fantastic. We hit traffic coming back into Bucharest, so we detoured through the mountains which had stunning views.
