I must say that we were a little biased, but it was a wonderful experience. The guide " Maria" was really good explaining everything to us in great detail and always pointing us to the best solution.... I would also like to thank the bus driver " Michele" who despite the fact that it was a snowy day made us feel Tranquil throughout the whole trip..View original review in ItalianVictoria

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.View original review in Italian

Nice day, we went first to Peles castle (here as advice I would say stay a little bit longer because we wanted to stop for breakfast but never had time all too fast) but I must say very nice! Bran castle also nice but I confirm previous reviews outside suggestive inside "normal" Beautiful Brasov took a cake in the center very good All in all I recommend everything but a little bit more time wouldn't hurtView original review in Italian
Castles royal and eerie
Leave behind the metropolis of Bucharest for an intriguing sightseeing tour. Your first stop is Sinaia, otherwise known as the “Pearl of the Carpathians!” Here, you'll visit the Peles Castle, the former summer residence of the Romanian Royal Family. You'll then visit the Sinaia Monastery, a 300-year-old historic soul of the city and a cherished monument. Drive on to Bran, which is known for its famous medieval castle, The Dracula's Castle! For years now, this has been an interesting medieval art museum. Enveloped by an aura of mystery and legend, the Bran castle is perched atop a 200-foot-heigh rock, owing its fame to its imposing towers and turrets. While its association with Dracula is sketchy at best, the castle holds a strong attraction for all fans of the Count, so don't miss it.
The medieval charm of Brasov
Finally, you'll head to the city of Brasov, fringed by the peaks of the Southern Carpathian Mountains and peaking with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, this is one of the most-visited cities in Romania. The city exudes a unique medieval ambiance and has been overused as a backdrop for many period films. Walk through the old town center, the Black Church, the Council Square, the Hirscher House, and baroque-styled buildings from the Austro-Hungarian times. By late afternoon, you'll be driving back to Bucharest, having learned a fair deal about Romania's history!
