One of the highlights was visiting Peles Castle, where Narcis regaled us with stories of King Carol I and the castle's rich history. We explored the stunning town of Brasov, and the scenery along the way was simply breathtaking. Narcis goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable trip. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,933 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $33

The 12-hour trip includes transport, a tour director, free time, and smartphone audio commentary, but castle tickets and lunch cost extra. Guides vary by departure, with Marius, Gabriel, Alex, and Stefan among those assigned.

“Think of this as your transport for these places which cover a 400km radius! Its a great way to see the main sites. Take 320lei / €65 cash to get entry to bran castle and Peles castle. Bran is easy to book online when you know time slot but Peles at the weekend is busy and its the better of the two. Alex was very informative and helped me get a ticket to Peles as I didnt have cash on me and had to withdraw it. Couldn't fault this tour. Enough time to see everything without being idle!”

Our guide Matthew was brilliant!! He was full of information and facts whilst being funny with jokes to make us laugh and feel at ease. Matthew took us through the Pele tour explaining the history and showed us where we needed to go with Bran Castle plus the little market and town.My family and I really enjoyed the day.

“The company is reliable: you receive very precise information beforehand on what tickets to buy for what time slot. They know what they are doing, and they organize it well. Everything is on time, everything is carried out as promised. Our guide, Matthew, was very knowledgeable, and his black sense of humor was not just entertaining, but memorable. If you listen to his explanations, you end up with an idea of Romanian history and Romanian society today. Any question is answered in a way that we found satisfactory We were a group of six, so everything was quick and smooth, no feeling of mass handling and barely any rush.”
