“We had a great trip. It was easy to find our bus parked in front of the statues in the morning, and our guide Vladut was terrific. His restaurant recommendations in Brasov were great also. He was entertaining and full of knowledge. We appreciated the independent time to explore on our own also. A nice company and a fun day.”

4.Bran Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov from Bucharest

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 220 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $37

One long day from Bucharest to **Peles Castle**, **Bran Castle**, and **Brasov**. Air-conditioned coach, guided stops, and timed tickets.

“A very long and tiring day.... which apparently was a two day trip... and should be replanned accordingly. 14 hour day.... 9hrs on the bus....plus 2 x 15min comfort breaks.... meaning only 90mins in each destination... We would have gladly spent the evening in Brasov and returned the next day.... had this been an option. The guide was informative but because of large groups, a lot of this was given only to those immediately around him in Peles Castle.... so we did our thing at Bran Castle and in Brasov.... too much talk about favourite restaurants...”

“We had an incredible time on our tour with Ovidiu. My 11 yo daughter, her friend and I visited Brans Castle, Peleş Palace and Cantacuzino Castle. The girls loved it and Ovidiu went up and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. 5 stars is not enough for this tour as Ovidiu gave a person touch, provided stops offs for the girls and explained all the history; took us to the best places for food and beverages. He was incredibly knowledgable and humorous. I would highly recommend this tour and book with Ovidiu!!!”
