Château de Dracula, château de Peles et visite privée de Brasov au départ de Bucarest
Description
La Transylvanie est la destination de voyage la plus populaire de Roumanie, et ses charmants et mystérieux châteaux sont une partie importante de la fascination presque mythique qu’elle répand. Des monuments célèbres comme le château de Bran aux plus petits châteaux ayant appartenu à l'aristocratie locale, les centaines de châteaux de Transylvanie racontent l'histoire de leur propre ascension et de leur délabrement, souvent directement liés à l'histoire troublée de la Roumanie.

Itinéraire
Lorsque le roi Carol Ier de Roumanie visita le petit village de Sinaia, au pied des montagnes de Bucegi, dans les années 1860, il fut captivé par son emplacement pittoresque et y fit construire un palais. Le château qui en résulte est sans doute l'un des plus beaux de toute l'Europe. Le premier couple à y vivre, le roi Carol Ier et son épouse la reine Elizabeth de Roumanie, étaient connus pour leur tempérament et leurs intérêts très différents. Le roi était un soldat accompli qui a considérablement développé et amélioré l'armée roumaine, et la reine était plus artistique, avec un grand penchant pour la musique, l'art et la littérature, et a même publié de la poésie sous le pseudonyme de Carmen Sylva. Peleș était également le reflet de ces deux personnalités différentes. Important !! Le château de Peles est fermé le lundi, la visite se fait sans visite intérieure
La renommée du château emporté à l'étranger est due en grande partie à Bram Stoker, auteur du célèbre roman «Dracula» - l'histoire du compte de vampires qui ne cesse de fasciner. La relation entre le personnage du roman et le prince Vlad l'Empaleur - Dracula est même suggérée par l'auteur qui écrivait quelque part dans le livre «… était-ce vraiment le prince Dracula qui s'était opposé aux Turcs au-dessus du grand fleuve, même de la frontière turque «Bien que l'histoire démentie le fait que Vlad Tepes, dirigeant aux traits vampires, ait jamais vécu au château de Bran, l'histoire du comte sanguinaire est si populaire et si répandue que presque personne ne s'intéresse à la vérité. La légende de Dracula est une chose, l’histoire de Vlad Tepes est différente, mais cette «confusion» place la petite ville et le château sur la carte du tourisme international et apporte d’importants avantages financiers à la région.

Peles castle, stunning from outside (closed the day we went) Brans castle interesting but way too many tourists, was like a cattle market. Our driver Pavel made the day for us, he was so knowledgeable and interesting. He plays in a rock band who we listen3d to and they are good. Toxic humidity is the name check them out.
A fun filled castle mad dash through Romania. Roger was the best. He customized our day to meet our needs and was very knowledgeable. He even picked us up at our hotel in the morning and dropped us off at our dinner reservation because we were cutting close when we got back to Bucharest. The trip to both castles makes for a long day, but it was worth every minute.
Drago our guide was very friendly and knowledgable of the history of the castles and Romanian history in general. We enjoyed the tour very much.
Radu was our driver and gave us great tour. He took us to the main attractions and let us decide how long to take at each site. We had time to walk around on our own. We had a wild thunder storm in the afternoon that blocked the main road from Brasov with a mudslide. Radu took us on another route through the countryside that most people don't see. He was very knowledgeable and friendly which made the day very enjoyable.
This day tour was amazing! The communication and follow through were perfect. Our guide Radu picked us up at our hotel in a very nice clean vehicle for the drive to Pele and Bran Castles and city of Brasov. He was a master at navigating through all the sites. He was a wealth of knowledge, sharing history and culture of the area and sites. He truly made us feel like his personal guests, always ready to answer any questions. We never felt rushed and he gave us many helpful tips about traveling around Romania that helped us for the remainder of our trip. He put us onto a friendly delicious place for lunch in Brasov. The private transportation allowed for ease in getting everywhere we wanted to see. At the end of the day we were safely dropped off back in Bucharest. I highly recommend this tour and Radu, thanks again, great memories!
Amazing experience! My guide and driver, Bogdan, was extremely knowledgeable. He made the trip very enjoyable by telling me the history of Peles Castle, Bran Castle and Brasov, along with Romanian history and the Romanian architecture! I highly recommend him!
It was very nice. We got to look at really beautiful places, and asking guide anything we got a very detailed answer.
This was a terrific way to see the sights ! Our guide Radu was amazing and made the day fun and interesting. Highly recommend him and the private visit.
Our guide, Andre was on time and had a great day planned for us. The drive was beautiful, although mostly rainy. But we loved Brasov's Old Town and enjoyed exploring this beautiful town with Andre's commentary. Peles Palace was beautiful, amazing architecture, and a very interesting history. Andre was so good in knowing the history of every place we went and able to share it so well. At Bran castle, Andre made us a reservation at a great restaurant that he knew and frequented many times. He joined us for a late lunch and we had a wonderful time. Long day, but this is a must do!
Andrei is a fabulous driver and a wealth of local knowledge. He provided an in-depth overview of the areas we visited and provided the right amount of time to stop and enjoy the various sites. The Transylvanian Alps are gorgeous with many quaint ski villages along the route, stopping at Peles Castle was wonderful. We discussed Romanian culture and it's history. A highlight was to sit down with him for lunch in the beautiful city of Brasov. Thanks for a fantastic tour!
