Overview
From the spooky to the sublime, you can still see the best of Transylvania even without staying the night on this day trip from Bucharest. Traveling with a group, visit the summer home of Romanian royals at storybook Peles Castle, and then conjure up images of Count Dracula at Gothic Bran Castle. The well-paced itinerary also leaves time for a stop in the medieval city of Brasov, known for its blackened church.

I had my doubts… but it was so much better!
Marjan_R, Apr 2025
I was worried that we will be in cheap buses and have a bad service with the price. It was nothing short of what any other company was offering. We were very happy with the entire experience. The only problem I had was a short stop in. Braşav. Good tour guide, good bus and everything on time.
Amazing

Amazing place to visit in Romania. Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles must be seen! Go visit Romania - Eastern European!
Better off

Was ok for the price. Organization can get better: Bus not well signposted, asking for the right bus little successful until only one waited. The English language skills of the tour guide were beginner level and the group very large, were pushed through the first castle in a short time. The last station was closed due to Easter (surprising???), were still driven there, presumably to justify the excursion time, even there in no time back to the bus. Overall somewhat uncoordinated excursion, as bilingual and often poorly understood.
Okay experience

Peles was cool, Dracula’s castle was underwhelming, and I got the impression the tour guide didn’t want to give the tour.
