Tour guide was great and Peleş castle was amazing. Brân castle is a tourist trap and wasn’t with it. If you do want to go though make sure you get the fast pass otherwise be prepared to wait in line.

We booked a private tour and to be quite honest you can save yourself the money and just get a Uber to these locations. Our driver was nice and somewhat informative but ultimately served no real purpose since he did not tour the castles with us and did not walk around Brasov with us. You basically get dropped off and tour everything alone which is no issue if you're into that kind of thing. Overall not the worst experience but definitely not the best. The Peles castle was worth all the hype, simply beautiful. There was some construction in progress but it was mostly accessible. There were the random stray dogs roaming outside but they were friendly. Bram castle was a bit of a let down with the torture area being the highlight of the tour. Unfortunately, this was an extra cost strongly enforced. There were areas that were not available die to construction and videos playing in many most of the rooms. Be prepared for a steep entrance that requires some endurance. The marketplace was full of vendors with similar items and crafts. We stopped in Brasov for a while where we dined on KFC and Starbucks, lol. The popular sign was hidden behind the fog most of our visit but we managed a glimpse before departing.

It was an extraordinary experience to visit the Transilvania Castles. Our guide Claudiu, was excelent and offered to complement our visit with the panoramic route of Transfagarast and the bear woods. We were even able to see foxes on the road.

We had such a wonderful experience on our day trip to Transylvania! Our guide, Cristian, made the tour exceptional. He shared fascinating history and information, not only about the sites we visited but also about the towns we passed along the way and the country as a whole. His knowledge and passion really brought the journey to life. Cristian was also very accommodating; when we needed a quick rest break, he adjusted without hesitation. He patiently answered all of our questions and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. Overall, it was a memorable trip filled with beautiful scenery, rich history, and great company. We highly recommend this tour and especially Cristian as a guide!

This is a terrific tour, one that I highly recommend. The visits to both castles were the highlights, and each is unique, offering different perspectives on Romanian period architecture and its associated societal culture. The freedom to stay as long as I wanted at each rather than being restricted by a time limit made the experience even more rewarding. Most importantly, my compliments go out to my tour guide, Christian, who was in all honesty responsible for making this tour memorable. He is a very bright, personable and articulate young man, with deep knowledgeable about Romanian history and culture. These attributes, together with his customer-centric focus and attention to detail made for wonderful and lively discussions during the long car rides to the three attractions and back to my hotel. I can’t speak highly enough about this private tour and Christian; I heartily recommend both to others.
