Small-Group Day Trip to Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Castle from Bucharest

Good day, well organised with lots if great things to see. Brasov was lovely and it was nice to be given some free time here to explore

It was a very well put together and organized one day tour to the castles with very comfortable transportation, great guide and driver. Boogy the guide is really a professional at what he does. Really enjoyed his guidance and company very much. Highly recommend it.

Keep in mind this is going to be a looong day . Peles castle is wonderful and I think we should have spent a little more time to absorb the things - but it looked rushed. You actually spend around 30-45 minutes inside the castle . The rest of the time is spent waiting to get in . After the tour you get 30 minutes to enjoy the gardens, shopping etc - that is clearly not enough . Braşov is a wonderful little town - we spent around 20 minutes through its historic streets and were given 90 minutes for lunch etc . There is nothing spectacular in Bran castle . If I do this all over again I am going to see Peles , and explore the town where Peles is located and Braşov , I will skip Bran. The tour operator was Travelmaker Bucharest day tours - and the guide was just ok . She was just doing her job .

Long day, but I saw what I wanted to see. Peles Castle could have been better organized, but that is not the tour guide's fault. Brasov was cute, but very crowded. It was difficult to find a spot for a quick lunch. Limited time at "Dracula's" Castle but it was a very long drive back, so understandable.

Very enjoyable trip to Transylvania covering Peles Castle, Brasov and Dracula's Castle. Tour guide Laura was very knowledgeable. My only comment was the driver was a little too fast on the road.

I missed my originally booked tour on sunday, but was offered the tour on monday for a substantial discount. The customer service was very helpful in arranging the tour. The tour itself was amazing and a MUST for everyone who wants to see transilvania, Bran Castle and Bransov (on monday) or Peles Castle (all days except monday) in one day.

It was a little hard to find the meeting point. The van didn't have wifi or air conditioner that workwd properly. At the end of the trip it was really hot inside the van. They lady from the tour spoke english but didn't understand me very well when I asked stuff. She took good care of the group on not loosing anybody but the information was poor. I didn't get to know any history from Romania, transylvania or the castles, the most info I received was from the guided tour inside the Peleş, and if I pay for a guided tour in english I want informarion. We had 13 hours of trip to get to know something. They said there was audio tours on the phone in all the languages but the up was not qorking and they didn't care, so I couldn't get to listen to the audio guide. Bran castle is indeed a fortress and inside is not that much fun. There are only a few items and it's full of stairs. What's worth is the view from outside. Also, they didn't tell us that there were only one bathroom at one of the stops and we spent almost all the time given going to the bathroom. The line was endless,and the trip very long. One of the ladies picked it up on me ONLY for being the last one of 5 women who went to the bathroom and the lady from the tour didn't stop her, dispite she was being very rude to me. I really think this tour needs to improve a lot in a lot of things. I had a great time but really, Peleş, Bran ans Braşov are nlt places to visit in one day if you really like to get to know the towns and cities very well.

Some slight messing around at the start due to the Pope's trip to Bucharest, but the rest of the (very long) trip was very smooth. Peles castle was brilliant and it seems a pity that this is not being visited in future. Brasov was a really lovely town with a nice center. Dracula's castle was really nothing of the sort other than it looks lie what Dracula's castle would look like! Still it did make for some great photos. Good guide.

This was a good way to see these two incredible castles that are many miles away from Bucharest. It was a long day which took over 13 hours. There was bad weather and it was a Sunday so maybe it was unusual. The tour guide was excellent and kept us informed with many interesting facts and some legend about Dracula. The town of Brasov was quaint and had good restaurants and shops.

This tour is well worth the time and money. As a tour guide, Valentin was second to none. He filled the ride time with relevant stories, gave us quiet time when we needed it, and kept everyone on task to keep the show rolling. Very well done.

The tour guide was very friendly and informative. The trip was great, getting to see the two castles and Brasov, although I wish we could have had more time to look around Bran Castle.

You guys were amazing guides. Transport was excellent tours were fantastic , once again thank you. Really must take tour if you land in Romania.

Was a great trip and worth the time. Free time to do what you want and well organized. The tour guide was entertaining with his unique and corny sense of humor.

This was by far one of the best excursions I have ever booked. Even though I have seen many other castles around Europe that were much bigger and more extravagant then these two our tour guide Valantina made the journey so informative about the country, area and people of Romania that it was quite enjoyable. They spent the perfect amount of time at each site and did a great job of getting us around the traffic and road construction in the area. Another good booking on Viator

A very good and interesting day trip. The Peles castle is unique and the Brasov city very beautiful and cute. Our guide Stefania was amazing and gave all necessary info for the visiting places plus she made our trip very comfortable and enjoyable!

Serban our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The trip was not only educational but much fun as well. He comes highly recommended!

When in Romania this day excursion is a must! This tour took us on a mini-bus to Transylvania for a tour of Peles Castle and Bran Draculas Castle. We also had side tour of Brasov, a city in south Transylvania. it was well worth the trip and we were able to enjoy the nice scenic ride as well as have time to fly our drone and capture fantastic views of both castles. Personally, I thought there was more to see at the Peles Castle than Bran Castle but then what's the point of traveling to Transylvania if Dracula's castle is not on the menu? lol

The tour operator covered both the castles but did not take us to Brasov as the guide mentioned it was snowing. Found the tour operator pushing back and wanting to conclude the trip by mentioning that its group decision while the guide was smartly making people agree to return back to bucharest. The guide also kept saying it may take around 7-8 hours to return back and pushing all the guests to agree for return back to base.

Excellent tour with two diverse castles, and an interesting town to explore. Peles castle is one of the most opulent I've ever seen. Bran castle, or Dracula's Castle should have been spookier, but still fascinating.
