“Adrian was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, he took good care of us and gave us lots of information regarding the day. Peles castle was closed (it’s closed Mon & Tues) but was beautiful from the outside. Brasov was lovely, we had lunch at La Ceaun which was delicious. Finally, we went to Bran Castle, where we paid to enter the castle. Although reviews were mixed, we were glad we went in. Adrian was not pushy with selling tickets, he gave passengers a QR code where we could buy tickets from the official online retailer, although we opted to pay cash when we arrived at the castle (around £18…”

Full-day Transylvania castles from Bucharest: Peleș, Bran and a Brașov Old Town walk. Skip ticket lines, guided in English.

“The day trip was perfect! The time spent on each stop was more than enough. The guide really gave his all to provide a nice experience. The only thing I could say that could be improved, is during pickup, you could have a sign or something to make it more clear which bus is which. There were many buses this morning and we had to check them one by one, to find ours. A more distinct sign could have been more helpful.”

5.Bucharest to Dracula Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,933 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $33

Bucharest to Peles, Bran and Brasov in one long day, with castle time, a guided walk in Brasov, and smartphone audio support.

“This tour is ok, but note, it does not include entry fees to the castles. If you choose to pay for entry to the castles its a further 120euros for 2 people. If you decide not go inside, you will be left at a nearby coffee shop, whilst the group and the tour guide go into the castles. You get no guided tour, just transport to the castles. My preference would be that there is an option to book entry in advance. So that I can choose whats best for my budget. I saw the prices on the boards when we got there - cheaper than the 120euros we were…”

“Great trip,but a very long day mainly because your stuck in traffic queues alot. It felt a very rushed trip because of the length of time.it takes to get through traffic in places, picked up at 8am and got back at 8.45pm, with alot of this on the bus. Was always clock watching so we got back to meeting point on time, peles castle was beautiful, but buy tickets online at least a few days before as a few people on our trip missed out getting inside as no tickets left. Our tour guide Serban was fantastic very knowledgeable, funny and kept us on track with meeting points etc. Bran…”
