Your Itinerary

Peles Castle

Peles Castle is the most impressive castle in Romania and a must-see attraction if you’re passionate about stories of royalty, splendid architecture, and history. The summer residence of the royal family until 1948 when it was confiscated by the communists, the castle from Sinaia is today, like in its first years, one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Admission Not Included

Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)

Bran Castle is ultimately a magnificent medieval fortress that Queen Maria turned into a special royal residence, one of her favorites, in the years that followed WW1. While many of the visitors who show up in large numbers, making it the most visited attraction in Romania, go in search of the Dracula legend, the castle itself has nothing to do with Bram Stoker’s famous novel. It’s instead a great place to imagine centuries of medieval fights and past times of royal glory when Romania’s most beloved Queen turned it into a home.

Admission Not Included

Brasov Historical Center

Brasov is one of the most visited cities in Romania, offerings its tourists a rich mix of history, architecture, culture, urban fun, and impressive natural surroundings. A top tourist attraction in Romania, the city was for centuries a key commercial center and a strong industrial hub during the long decades of communism when its name changed for 10 years to Stalin City.

Black Church (Biserica Neagra)

Over 600 years old, the Black Church from Brasov is the most iconic historical monument from this old Transylvanian town. The largest hall-church east of Vienna and one of the biggest medieval churches from this part of Europe, this impressive Gothic construction is impossible to miss if you’re wandering through the center of Brasov.

Admission Not Included

Rope Street - Strada Sforii

Brasov is home to what is said to be one of the narrowest street in Europe. The Rope Street (Strada Sforii) is approximately four feet wide and connects Cerbului Street with Poarta Schei Street. The street was initially used as an access-route by firefighters.

What a day! Such an amazing tour from start to finish. Picked up at 8am by Alin, who was our driver and guide for the day. First stop Peles Castle, fascinating history and gorgeous castle. Next, Bran (Dracula) Castle, quite a hill to get to the castle and another 300 stairs when you get in the castle but not all at once. Interesting story of the real Dracula and our tour guide Alin was very knowledgeable. On to the old town of Brasov, which had a mix of shops and restaurants. We had a lovely meal of traditional Romania food recommended by Alin. This tour is a long day but worth it and if you get Alin as your guide, you will have a great day!

Alin was exceptionally good with informing us about the entire trip ! He’s very knowledgeable and informative about the tour. Very pleasant and respectful . I noticed that everywhere we went he was greeted by the other tour operators and guards very warmly. He has a very sweet nature that makes you feel you know him from a long time. He’s very good with driving and it’s very stress free. Overall, our experience was wonderful just because Alin was our guide!

Had a wonderful trip with Bogdan - can’t recommend it highly enough! He was knowledgeable, helpful and did not hesitate to move things around for us when difficulties came up. Incredible trip!

So my daughter-in-law and I booked this private tour after Sergio ghosted us and another couple on the small group tour. THIS EXCURSION IS A MUST! Our guide was Mircea. He reached out the night before and confirmed he would pick us up at our hotel. He took was personable, funny, well-mannered, and oh so knowledgeable! Everywhere we went, the staff knew him and he was able to get us in without waiting in line. I can see he is held in high regard. If we were hungry or needed to use the ladies room, Mircea was more than happy to accommodate our needs. He allowed us to shop at our leisure and was so patient. I strongly recommend you pay more and book this private tour. I observed the group tours and they were a mess! I travel frequently and this excursion was by far one of the best!

Sue

Victor our tour guide went above and beyond excellent in our tour , I would advice anyone to choose a private tour as one to one you get so much more experience and information than you would in a big group .
