Great tour
Very friendly and educational tour guide and fun and beautiful visit to the castles. My daughter and I had this as our top attractions to see and it did not disappoin. Must see places while in Transylvania and would highly recommend booking this tour.

Excellent guide for great itinerary
It is a great way to get to see two of Brasov's castles and a beautiful calm monastery. The castles are so different. Our guide Florine was so well informed and adjusted the day to suit road and weather conditions. Brad Castle- of Dracula fame, is really intriguing with its winding staircases and spooky nooks and crannies. Peles Castle is wonderfully elegant with so many stunning wooden carved doors, walls, ceilings and figures. An excellent day out

Sites worth seeing, but expect heavy crowds.
Lines can be extremely long. I’m glad we got to Bran Castle early. Limited time to get something to eat. Heavy traffic on narrow mountain roads.
Operator response
Thank you, Daniel! Some weekend’s or holiday season can be busy, indeed. This tour happened in one of the busiest times, May 1st long week-end (Labour Day in Romania). Bran was very busy but we got there first to avoid heavy crowds. In Peles and at Sinaia Monastery we managed to visit in excellent conditions, no crowds, our group was alone in Peles Castle. We offered a 30 minutes snack break at Peles, as advertised, and free time for photos after the visit. The traffic can be busy as well, we try to avoid also this when possible. This 2nd of May, Saturday, we traveled fairly well, there were no delays in traffic, as we remember. Best regards!

Book it is my advice.
Definitely a great tour. Peles castle tour was by far my favorite. Our guide was great, he would explain the history of not only the 2 castles you visit, but also it's surrounding area's history.
M
Stellar performance of the guide
Extremely competent guide fluent in multiple language who was even able to accommodate a Spanish tourist while talking to the main group in English.
