Overview

See Romania’s two most famous castles in a single day on this private tour from Bucharest. First, visit Peles Castle, the former summer residence of Romanian royalty. Nestled in the forests of Transylvania, it’s one of the best-preserved and most beautiful 19th-century castles in Europe. Take a spooky turn at fairy tale-like Bran Castle, nicknamed ‘Dracula’s Castle’ for its Gothic atmosphere and ties to the bloodthirsty prince Vlad Tepes. Before returning to Bucharest, visit the charming medieval city of Brasov with its famous Black Church.

It was a great tour .Our tour guide Paul was so informative and entertaining. Loved the personalized tour that met our needs. Paul was an excellent driver through the mountains. So glad we decided on the tour instead of driving our self.
