We had a great time on this tour. The guide Florin was very knowledgeable and friendly and was very helpful as we went to Bran castle, peles castle, and sinaia monastery. We learned a lot about the region and the castles on the tour and had a great day overall.

First of all, Florin was a fantastic guide with fluency in english and spanish with interesting facts about the area and the castles! the tour itself was quite great, the only thing I wished for was a little more time in both castles, to try to see it in not such a hush and to see the little souvenir shops around them. aside from that, 100% recommended

Stellar performance of the guide

Extremely competent guide fluent in multiple language who was even able to accommodate a Spanish tourist while talking to the main group in English.

Amazing tour! Very knowledgeable and kind. Florin was a great guide and was able to schedule smartly to avoid large crowds.

Great tour!

Highly recommend

Alisa_N, Sep 2025
Toured with Florin, who was exceptionally knowledgeable. Castle Bran has a decent inclined path to reach the castle. Pelles Palace was the most beautiful castle I have toured ever. It is a must see and well worth the time. Interesting to see both in the same day. Florin did a flawless job of translating between two languages, but actually speaks four. He made our day entertaining and informative. We enjoyed this day trip very much. Also, the tour takes you on a winding mountain road with some start and stop traffic for parts of it. I took some dramamine-it would have not been pretty without it! Just a heads up to people who may have motion sickness!

A little bit of walking,...

Francisco_S, Aug 2025
A little bit of walking, and you are going to suffer a little of you are tall traveling in the car they had. Overall a great experience!

Perfect Guide to Castles

GEORGE_W, Jul 2025
Florin was an exceptional guide and his driver was great also. Florin was helpful from the time of booking, helping us adjust our schedule to get the most out of what we wanted to see. He communicated early and even suggested a way to catch the return train from an intermediate village rather than return all the way to Brashov and inculded possible trains. He was articulate and knowledgeable about everything. He knew how to beat the bigger tours and time our visits. He even got us through the largest rainstorm he had experience in 8 years, without hurting our tours. This was a great tour and guide.

super fun and interesting, highly recommended!

Robert_U, Jul 2025
I was so excited about this tour and was not disappointed! Florin was absolutely amazing. He was so enthusiastic, knew so much about all the sights and random, interesting facts about Romania and the Brasov region and spoke flawless English and Italian. One of the best tour guides I've ever had. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you luck out and get Florin as your guide!

Fantastic day visiting castles!

Eric_S, Jul 2025
This is a great tour! Florin is brilliant and we learned so much. The meeting point was a 5 minute walk from our hotel and the driver was excellent. Couldn't have had a better day!

Fun, beautiful and interesting

DANIEL_B, Jun 2025
Our guide was most kind and helpful. He was full of fascinating information regarding all of our visits and his history lessons were deeply appreciated.

Excellent Tour

Lee_P, May 2025
Our guide, Florin was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Our driver was great also. Peles Castle is one not to miss.

2 castles and a monastery

Philip_C, May 2025
you get to cover two castles and a monastery. castle bran if anything is more a checkbox item but dare i say its not exactly a very big castle and can be a bit on the touristy side. the real attraction is the second castle which is the summer palace of romanian royalty. thats the real fine piece of art

Florian was so welcoming...

Wonseok_N, May 2025
Florian was so welcoming and friendly to everyone in the group. Explained all the stories behind the places that we visited in great details. A great way to visit 2 of most renowned castles in Romania.

Wow what an amazing day, the vehicle was comfortable, and the guide was very knowledgeable, highly recommended

Easy way to see the castles

Suzy_M, May 2025
Nice size tour group (max 18) and comfortable van. Awesome guide (Fabin) who speaks many languages. Castles and monastery are all worth visiting. Peles castle is amazing.

One of the best tours ever!

Kenneth_F, Apr 2025
Nearly 20 years of doing tours booked on Viator and this was one of my favorites. The castles and scenery were spectacular and so much worth the visit. The guide was 5*****. Very informative, interesting and gave such great information on the sites as well as logistics. Top notch!

Great time during the tour

Uyen_L, Mar 2025
It was really lovely, the host was really nice and willing to answers all our questions about the sights but also about Romania. He was very passionate about the tour and made the tour so much better.

Amazing Castles Tour

Landon_C, Feb 2025
This tour was fantastic! Florin took us from Braşov to Bran Castle and Peles Castle and it was the most entertaining thing I did my whole visit in Romania! Florin in particular is a very knowledgeable tour guide who is also great to chat with and talk about life in Romania. If I could only do one thing my entire trip to România, this is what I would pick.

Tour

Thomas_S, Oct 2024
Excellent trip. Was very well organised and planned. Enjoyed all 3 of the stops. Guide was very very good.

Excellent tour, tour guide was excellent, wonderful way to spend the day

Jim_W, Sep 2024
Most importantly, the tour guide made this day tour exceptional - his historical knowledge, logistics to guide the group, mastery at avoiding bad weather and crowds to make our castle visits efficient and enjoyable, and including the monastery was the icing on the cake. Exceptional tour, worth every penny.

Great tour. Visiting the monastery as well as the castles made this a brilliant day out.

Anne_B, Sep 2024
Excellent tour guide and 3 great places to visit. The monastery was so beautiful and interesting. Peles castle was incredible and Bram Castle had an interesting history. We never felt rushed and our guide shared so much useful and fascinating information. He really looked after everyone too. And we had a very good driver. Thank you for a great day.

A wonderful day spent

Richard_S, Aug 2024
Florine was an excellent guide, and he delivered the tour in three languages. He was patient and helpful with my mother, who needs a cane. The castles were wonderful, as was the monastery. Be prepared to sit in the car for a while, because traffic can be bad in the mountains. Florine did well to pop in with some facts along the road.

Fantastic castle visit with Florin

jimboandjanet, Jul 2024
We had a fantastic tour of both Castle Bran and Castle Pereş along with the Pereş Monasteries with Florin, a true local who is very proud of his country and fluent in multiple languages! Castle Pereş is the best castle interior I have ever seen... Thanks so much, Florin.

Great tour from Brasov.

Floran was a very interesting and most professional guide. He knew how much information to give and when to give it and was both informative and fun . He was a very good driver and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. This was an excellent tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Janet, thank you for the kind review, glad you enjoyed it! Best regards!

A great day trip from Brasov

William_C, Apr 2024
Our guide was knowledgeable on all the sites and was very friendly. The pace of the tour was excellent and we had the right amount of free time for lunch and photos. Bran Castle was interesting and Peles Castle was outstanding.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you, William! We try to adjust the timing as best we can, glad you enjoyed it and you go with nice memories. Best regards!

Mystical Castle tours

Emma_B, Dec 2023
First I would like to mention how wonderful our tour guide/ driver was. He was so attentive and informative. Would take his time explaining everything thoroughly and give us enough time to do what we wanted. The tour itself was so lovely. The two castles were worth the visit and we had plenty of time to view everything by ourselves. Definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful Autumn tour

Colleen_N, Oct 2023
It was easy to find the departure spot, Florin was an excellent guide, the distances between each site wasn’t too long and all of the sites were interesting. Fall is a great time to see the sites as the leaves are turning, the weather is mild and the crowds aren’t too bad! Thanks Florin for a great day!
