• 3Nightmare , could of been great felt ripped off

  Could of been great , But there was a power outage on the peles castle so qued for 3 hours in the freezing cold and didn’t even get in . Set off to bran castle and were given 40 minutes to explore the bran castle (which is over priced and not a lot to see inside ) and explore the town which wasn’t enough time . Then traveled to bravos which was great but just didn’t get given enough time to explore and enjoy. Spent full day on the bus or queing with very few toilets around and didn’t eat till very late as there wasn’t a opportunity to get anything , if you aren’t a great walker I wouldn’t recommend this tour as a lot of time spent walking up and down hills that are slippy and the guide rushes off Also the tour is 29 pound but doesn’t include access to the castles , which for both is £60 but when they finally refunded up for the castle we didn’t get inside for they’d only give us 25 and not 30 !

• 2Two Castles in One Day = Too Much Time on Minibus

  We went on a day-long outing from Bucharest to see the Peles and Bran Castles. The mini-bus picked us up at 8 am and did not drop us off till 10:45 pm. We did see the castles and the town of Brasov. There was so much road construction that we were in that minibus for about 8 hours throughout the trip. It was too much. Because the tour company was determined to fit in all three stops despite the road construction (which has been going on for quite a while), we did not have much time in any of the three places. It was recommended that we eat lunch at the town of Brasov, but we were warned that a sit down restaurant would take too long. We grabbed pizza, but then we had no place to sit and eat it. We ended up going into an ice cream shop and ordering gelato just so we sit inside out of the blazing midday sun. We were given a 20-minute tour of the town and then boarded the minibus again to travel to Bran Castle. We toured the castle and then the bus ride back to Bucharest took 4 (four) hours. We made one rest stop at a gas station that had one individual restroom. We traveled over mountains and the minibus made hairpin turns, passed, tractors, horses, and trucks overloaded with hay that were in front of us on narrow two lane roads. It felt like the driver of the minibus was going faster than the posted speed limit, possibly to make up time but it felt unsafe. I will say that the tour guide was polite and knowledgeable and we were glad to see the castles. I recommend they skip Braşov while this road construction is going on. It was an exhausting day.

• 5Nice trip to Bran, Peles and Pelisors castles with Vlad as a guide!

  A very wonderful trip with Vlad as a guide. He was present with discussions, lot of historical informations, lot of tips and he is very pleasant as a guy. I warmly recommand going on a trip with him, since we have learned lot of things.

• 5Short but efficient

  The experience gives a chance to see more than Bucharest in a single day. The town of Brasov is particularly beautiful.

About Bucharest

Belle-époque boulevards, Orthodox churches and communist-era monuments meet around a busy old town in Bucharest, Romania's capital.

The vast Palace of the Parliament, among the largest administrative buildings in the world, dominates the centre as a striking legacy of the Ceaușescu era. Calea Victoriei, the grand avenue, leads past the domed Romanian Athenaeum concert hall, the former Royal Palace that houses the National Museum of Art, and Revolution Square, where the events of 1989 unfolded.

Top-ranked sights in Bucharest: Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), Revolution Square (Piata Revolutiei), Arcul de Triumf (Arch of Triumph).
