Mimi was an excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable and personable. The castles were incredible! I would definitely recommend using them for this tour!
Bogdan was a fantastic tour guide. Ended up seeing more sites than expected and it worked out really well. Would definitely recommend.
Great tour! Bogden was a great tour guide. The van was comfortable and he was able to get us to the front of the lines. He seemed to know everyone which was also awesome. He gave us some good tips and tricks. He has been going to the castle for 23 years. Awesome way to get out of Brasov and see some of the castles.
Thank you so much for your great review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and the day out from Brașov. It’s always a pleasure sharing these places and making the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Thanks again for your kind words—I hope to see you again in Romania! 😊
Fantastic tour with Bogdan, great experience we learned a lot with him about the castles and the history of the place ♥️
Thank you so much for your lovely review! ❤️ I’m truly happy you enjoyed the tour and that you found the stories about the castles and their history interesting. Sharing Romania’s heritage with curious travelers like you is always a pleasure. It was wonderful having you on the tour, and I hope to welcome you back for another great experience in Transylvania someday! 😊 Warm regards, Bogdan Transylvania Discovery Tours
Our guide Bianca was very knowledgeable about all of the castles and history of the Royals. It was interesting seeing all three castles. We experienced local food thanks to Biancas great recommendations. I would highly recommend this tour.
Thanks a lot for your lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed visiting the three castles and learning about the royal history. Bianca’s knowledge and local food recommendations made the experience even more special. We appreciate your strong recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Romania for another memorable adventure! Warm regards, Bogdan Transylvania Discovery Tours
Absolutely loved our visit to Bran Castle and Peles Castle! We hadn’t fully appreciated how beautiful Romania is - breathtaking views along the entire journey. Bogdan was a terrific guide with a wonderful and proud knowledge of his country. Bogdan shared so much history and key events of the past that have shaped Romania over the centuries. Was worth the trip to Romania just for this adventure alone. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 😊 I’m thrilled you loved visiting Bran Castle and Peleș Castle and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. Sharing Romania’s history and culture with guests who appreciate it as much as you do is always a joy. It means a lot to hear that the tour made your trip to Romania so memorable. Thank you for the high recommendation — I hope to welcome you back for even more adventures! 🇷🇴✨ Warm regards, Bogdan Transylvania Discovery Tours
This was one of the best tours I've been on. It was a comfortable ride to the castles with history and stories told to us along the way. Bogden was knowledgeable and funny. He let us do what we wanted at our pace and never rushed us. He also knew how to avoid the big bus tours! I would highly recommend him for your next tour.
Unfortunately, I was sick that day and couldn’t go on the tour, but my wife did and she loved it. She thought the sites were amazing and the tour guide was wonderful. The last castle was exquisite.
Seeing all three castles was a great day's adventure. What made it extra special was Bogdan. He was fun, personable and informative.
We had such an amazing day exploring the castles. We visited bran first and our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and gave us some background info before we arrived and then provided a guided tour throughout the castle. It was great learning about the history of the castle and Romania, along with some folklore stories which really interested me. Our guide took us to some great photo spots as well. We then went to Peles castle which was stunning, I think this was one of my favorite castles I have seen and I’ve been to many, there were so much detailed artwork of all kinds, our guide was very knowledgeable on this castle too and provided a guided tour and showed us where we could grab lunch after. Next we went to the castle where Wednesday was filmed, it was awesome to see the home of Nevermore and see where the magic happened. The tour was in Romanian only but our guide did really well in translating the key information for us (he told us ahead of time this was the case and gave us the option to just see the outside or do the tour), we picked to do the tour but in hindsight I would recommend spending more time and Peles and skipping the inside part of the Wednesday castle (just don’t skip it completely as the view from there is amazing!!) I would highly recommend this tour and our guide was amazing 10/10!!
