The information provided before the tour through whatsapp assistance was all inaccurate! The guide who accompanied us unprepared and unengaging! There is definitely much to improve.

The audio guide on the bus was very informative, the actual guide Roxana was very friendly and knew lots of extra facts. It was good to have stops at the petrol station to stretch your legs after lots ot time on the bus. We would've liked a little more time in all of the places to take in the absolute beauty of the castles and city but its understandable as its a long day already. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone, we loved it.

The tour was well organized, and the guide spoke very understandable English, even for French people like me who don't speak English very well. The driver is a very good driver. As far as the visits are concerned, the Château de Pelés is a must. It's magnificent! Bran Castle is not extraordinary, but we were happy to see it. Not much information on the Dracula legend. Brasov is a very large city where we had 1h15 in the very pretty pedestrian center to visit or eat around 16h15. Bring a picnic to nibble on in the bus.

A day trip from Bucharest to the Gothic castles of Romania almost sounds too perfect!

The first stop is the Peleş Royal Castle, the former residence of the Romanian Royal Family. You can purchase tickets to enter and explore this Neo-Renaissance castle, also known as Romania's most visited castle.

Continue your scenic drive through the Carpathian Mountains that'll take you to the mysterious Bran Castle, most popularly known for being Dracula's Castle. Buy your tickets on the spot to enjoy a tour of this intriguing castle filled with mysteries and a whole lot of Romanian history.

A Walk Through the Charming City of Brasov

Before heading back to Bucharest, you'll enjoy some spare time in Brasov, a medieval Romanian city with much cultural and historical charm. A short walking tour through the Old Town is a must, where you'll learn about the Saxons in Transylvania, gaze at well-preserved old-time architecture, notice iconic city landmarks like the Black Church, and discover famous streets like the Rope Street, Europe's second narrowest street!
