Easy way to see the castles - Nice size tour group (max 18) and comfortable van. Awesome guide (Fabin) who speaks many languages. Castles and monastery are all worth visiting. Peles castle is amazing.

Excellent tour! Amazing sites - Perfect day out of Brasov to visit the castles. We arrived at Bran well before the busses came and had a nice relaxed visit. The guide was fantastic - one of the best ever.

One of the best tours ever! - Nearly 20 years of doing tours booked on Viator and this was one of my favorites. The castles and scenery were spectacular and so much worth the visit. The guide was 5*****. Very informative, interesting and gave such great information on the sites as well as logistics. Top notch!

Amazing Castles Tour - This tour was fantastic! Florin took us from Braşov to Bran Castle and Peles Castle and it was the most entertaining thing I did my whole visit in Romania! Florin in particular is a very knowledgeable tour guide who is also great to chat with and talk about life in Romania. If I could only do one thing my entire trip to România, this is what I would pick.

Amazing Tour of Castles in Romania - Technically this a review from our tour in June 2023. I’m using TripAdvisor for the first time in forever and realized I had never left a review! This was such a great way to see a bunch of different castles in Romania. The guide was so personable and engaging. We had people who spoke Spanish in our group and he smoothly switched between English and Spanish so the mix of languages was no issue at all. Pick up and drop off in Brasov was a breeze. The highlight for me by far was Peles Castle. Bran was cool and I loved the history and all but Peles blew me out of the water. It was so different and so ornate. The wood carvings are indescribable. They just have to be seen. I would absolutely recommend this tour to any one looking to see some of these amazing sites in Romania.

Tour was cancelled by company - The trip/tour was cancelled a few days before we arrived. Fortunately we were able to get an Uber to Bran Castle on our own.
