5Great Touring with Florin
Everything ran very smoothly. Florin was a great guide of the sites and of the local area and of Romania. We recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Bran and Pelez castles.
5Great tour
Very friendly and educational tour guide and fun and beautiful visit to the castles. My daughter and I had this as our top attractions to see and it did not disappoin. Must see places while in Transylvania and would highly recommend booking this tour.
5Excellent guide for great itinerary
It is a great way to get to see two of Brasov's castles and a beautiful calm monastery. The castles are so different. Our guide Florine was so well informed and adjusted the day to suit road and weather conditions. Brad Castle- of Dracula fame, is really intriguing with its winding staircases and spooky nooks and crannies. Peles Castle is wonderfully elegant with so many stunning wooden carved doors, walls, ceilings and figures. An excellent day out

About Brașov
Brașov is a medieval Transylvanian city ringed by the Carpathians, with a Gothic Black Church, a cobbled main square and day trips to Bran Castle.
Brașov lies in a basin of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, with the wooded Tâmpa hill rising above its old town. The city was built up by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons, and its centre is a tidy grid of baroque houses around Council Square, with the Old Council House in the middle. The Black Church, the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, was blackened by a fire in 1689.
Top-ranked sights in Brașov: Black Church (Biserica Neagra), Council Square (Piata Sfatului), Rope Street (Strada Sforii).
