Itinerary
Peleș Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania, on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia, built between 1873 and 1914. Its inauguration was held in 1883. It was constructed for King Carol I.
Bran Castle, Romanian Castelul Bran, medieval stronghold in the Transylvanian Alps (Southern Carpathian Mountains) of Brașov county, central Romania. Popularly—if inaccurately—identified with the fictional Castle Dracula, Bran Castle is one of Romania’s top tourist attractions.
Braşov is the country's most popular tourist destination, enticing the tourists with the old fortified city and the Șchei district, where many ancient houses and an impressive heritage of antiquities and old worship objects are preserved.

Loved this tour, a must do when in the Bucharest. ANDREI was the best...from knowledge to accommodating.
Wonderful trip our guide had so much knowledge to share . He was very compassionate about our mobility issues. Took us for a wonderful lunch with a view of the castle
We had a great trip to Peles, Brasov and Bran Castle. Plenty of time in each location, very comfortable vehicle and our guide was so knowledgeable about Romania. He made us very comfortable and made sure we had a good day. I would definitely recommend this way of seeing Bran Castle and the area.
We had an amazing day trip to the Castles and Brasov with Bogdan. He is a brilliant, friendly guide and an excellent driver. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of the history and culture of Romania. We really appreciated being picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Bucharest. Would thoroughly recommend this tour with Bogdan.
Although a long day we'll worthwhile, and glad we chose to go with a select driver/guide. Octavian was outstanding and looked after us brilliantly throughout the trip with helpful and entertaining advice
We had an amazing day with Octavian in Transylvania. The castles, countryside and town of Brasov were like a fairytale, and he did a wonderful job coordinating logistics and sharing color on the history with us. Don’t miss this!
Wonderful tour with our guide Andrei to see Castle Bran, Peles Castle and Braşov. Highly recommend Andrei he was on time very professional and knowledgeable about each place we visited. It’s a long day but we really enjoyed all of it. Leaving Bucharest at 7 am got us to Peles before the crowds and it helped to enjoy the castle and grounds. It’s stunning to see how beautiful the interior rooms are each carefully curated and furnished with the finest art and fixtures. Highly recommend this tour!
Amazing tour with Bogdan. He is a very knowledgeable guide and kept us entertained throughout the visit. Peleş castle is a must go! Dracula castle is a fascinating place too, but don’t expect the same scenery from Dracula films. We had such a wonderful time and good memories.
It was an amazing experience with our Guide Tour BOGDAN, super knowledgable, friendly and a great driver! 🤩
A great tour thank you Pavel! He was on time, and gave us a wonderful day visiting the castles and then lunch in Brasov. He gave lots of facts too! I would 100% recommend - we loved the tour and we loved Pavel!
