Our guide, Irina, was very knowledgeable and explained the history of the castle and the various secret passages inside. The castle itself is truly beautiful, especially the main entrance. Highly recommended, it's worth the trip from Bucharest.

The guide Santiago was magnificent, very polite, he provided abundant historical and artistic information and also practical information. What I can't explain, although it doesn't depend on Headout, is that the price of the entrance to Bran Castle costs 50% more than Peles Castle, which is further away but is much more worth it, in my opinion. Besides that the decoration (pumpkins, spider webs, etc), that they have put now in Bran castle, for Halloween, is ridiculous and childish.
