It was the first time we visited the castle and we loved it. The truth is that it hides a lot of history of the country. As for the guided tour is something I recommend, because as you go into the different rooms they tell you the story that happened there. As for the woman who gave us the tour, she spoke fantastic Spanish and made the tour in a very pleasant way. She also made sure that we all arrived safely, especially my grandparents who are a bit older. As a personal recommendation, if it is cloudy take an umbrella because there are areas of the castle that are outdoors and you can get wet if it rains.

We had the pleasure of participating in the organized trip to Peleș Castle, Dracula Castle and Brasov, and I must say that it was an extraordinary experience. Our guide, Vlad, made everything even more special with his in-depth knowledge, and he made every step of our visit unique and interesting. I look forward to participating in another trip organized by you.

The overall experience was very good,the only thing that I'd say,was that it wasn't easy to get our tickets,due to the building where we had to collect our tickets from was hidden,but that is a very minor issue,but overall very good experience👍

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.
