Overview
Venture deep into the heart of Transylvania to visit two of Romania’s most magnificent castles and the medieval town of Brasov on this day trip. Step into the life of Romanian royalty at sumptuous Peles Castle, a fairytale-like summer retreat surrounded by forest and still adorned with immaculate period decor. Then, connect with the country's notorious vampiric lore at Bran Castle, also known as ‘Dracula’s Castle,’ thanks to its chilling Gothic chambers and turrets that seem to be plucked straight from a horror movie.
- Visit two of Romania's most famous castles in one day
- Admire historic artwork, armor, and tapestries at beautiful Peles castle, a former royal retreat
- Get spooked at Gothic Bran Castle, nicknamed 'Dracula's Castle'
- Take a walking tour around the old town of medieval Brasov

Such an amazing day! Vlad was incredibly knowledgeable and made the journey to the castles so interesting, drawing attention to interesting monuments with interesting facts and stories about them.
The tour around the castle with Vlad was amazing and the time was used so we'll throughout the day (we saw everything!)
The castles were beautiful and Brasov was stunning (again Vlad gave us so much helpful information about where to eat and what to see).
I cannot fault it! It was such a wonderful day! Thank you so much!
Romania- has been such a wonderful holiday!!!

I did this tour about 4 months ago but today I remembered that I didnt write anything about it.
It was really a perfect tour. Our guide (who's name I can't remember, he wears glasses and loves papanasi) was super communicative the whole day. You could tell that he really liked his job. The dracula's castle itself is a big dissappointment but the visit to Brasov was absolutely amaizing.
As I'm used to travel alone, this kind of tours are a really good opportunity and the guide, who shared a papanasi with me and a couple of swedish young travelers made it perfect.
Great trip

A very nice trip with a great guide Alex. The tour started at the moment we entered the car. Alex was able to give us a lot of informations on Bucarest and Romania in general. He was very nice, funny, talkative and reliable. The trip was totally worth it and the driving okay (not too long) as the landscape was beautiful. The Peles castle was amazing, we had a tour guide for both castles who were also great. Brasov is so cute, it would've been nice to be able to stay longer but maybe the traffic is too dense past 5pm
Thanks a lot!
We will be back… what a trip!

George was an excellent tour guide! He took his time to explain places, and was very patient to reply my questions. He is very knowledgeable as well as polite; (he opened car doors for me at every stop 😊)
I recommend this tour. Absolutely brilliant 👏
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
