Itinerary
Peles Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in Europe, a former royal summer residence. This impressive castle has enchanting surrounding, being placed at the mountain foot. You will be accompanied by our tour guide or the local castle guide inside the castle. You will have time for the interior visit and the garden.
Usually this will be our second stop (attraction). Sometimes, especially during off-season and due to Bran Castle opening hours, I may choose to have the second stop at Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle). Brasov is a charming Transylvanian city placed at the mountain foot. The most attractive part here is the medieval old town area. You will be dropped-off by our guide in the Old Town area. Here you will have free time for lunch/shopping and/or you could explore the Council Square with its former City Hall, the commercial street, the Black Church, which is the main city attraction, the Rope Street and more.
Bran Castle is maybe the most famous castle in the world. It is a relatively small Transylvanian fortress, built in a gothic romantic architecture style. You will be accompanied by our tour guide inside the castle, in the first room. We are going to talk about Dracula's Castle mostly before our arrival. You will have time for the interior visit, the garden and the souvenir shops. Sometimes we may have here our second stop, therefore we may set your lunchtime here, before or after the castle visit.

Excellent driver and guide!! Very interesting conversation about Romania! Complete visit!!
We took a private tour to Transylvania with Eduard. He picked us up from our hotel and we started a beautiful journey to Transylvania! During the trip, he told us interesting things about the places we were visiting. Then we visited the castles and the beautiful city of Brașov! Everything was very well organized! He is also a very cautious driver! I totally recommend it!!! Thank you, Eduardo!!!
Excellent tour with Eddie from start to finish. We saw so much and learnt so much about each area we saw. He was so helpful and accommodating. Would not hesitate to book this trip again. We had more than enough time at each stop with welcomed comfort breaks too. Fantastic service. Thanks again Eddie!
We only had 5 days to spend in Romania and going with Eddie was the best choice we made! He was very knowledgeable and we spent 3 full days with him laughing most of the time. Because of private tour we didn't have to go to places we weren't interested in yet were able to spend more time in other places. We saw a stray dog curled up at gas station where we parked and I said I wonder if he had something to eat today. Eddie got out of car went inside and got paper towel and dog food! He nicely placed food on the paper to feed the dog! We were so touched by this. Later found out he is a big supporter for animal shelter. You can't go wrong with going with Eddie. It's not too expensive compare big tour group. Totally recommend his tour 100%!
