What To Expect

Itinerary: Day 1. Bucharest - Peles Castle - Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle) - Brasov Your private guide will meet you at the airport or at your centrally located hotel in Bucharest. Afterwards you will start your journey to Transylvania. First, visit Peles Castle: located in Sinaia (approx. 44 km from Brasov), it is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful castles in all of Europe. Set against the natural back drop of the Carpathian Mountains, the castle is a masterpiece of German Renaissance architecture. The next stop is Bran, where you will visit the 'Castle of Dracula'. Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-foot-high rock, Bran Castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In the afternoon enjoy a tour of the medieval town of Brasov. Highlights of the tour include; Black Church, Citadel of Brasov, Ecaterina's Gate, White Tower, Black Tower, The Blacksmiths Bastion, The Weavers Bastion, The Ropemakers Bastion, The Drapers Bastion. Day 2. Brasov - Prejmer - Harman - Sighisoara The first stop of the day is the Fortified Church of Prejmer (UNESCO site) - Situated approximately 16km northeast of Brasov, it is one of Eastern Europe’s best preserved fortified churches. Surrounding the cross-shaped church (originally built by the Teutonic knights) are walls 12 meters high and 4 meters thick. These wall helped to protect the church and Prejmer’s inhabitants during war times, when each family would retreat into their own room. Next visit the Fortified church of Harman - although smaller than Prejmer fortress, this church matches it in charm and architectural value. The tour moves on to visit the fortified town of Sighisoara (UNESCO site) last. Sighisoara is one of the few inhabited fortified towns in the world and is a great example of medieval town planning: Here, all the elements of the medieval world have been perfectly preserved. Sighisoara tour highlights: The Clock Tower & History Museum, The Church on the Hill, House of Dracula, The pupils roofed stairways, German cemetery. Day 3. Sighisoara - Fortified Church of Biertan - Bucharest Today you will visit the Fortified Church of Biertan (UNESCO site) - This architectonic ensemble from Biertan will impress with its harmonious position and its aesthetic and historic value. The original building materials have been preserved since the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century; it is therefore easy to see why it is included in The UNESCO List of World Patrimony.

  • Claudiu Fantastic Tour Driver

    Claudio took us to numerous spots along our tour for great scenic photos. He knew the best photo spots for each major attraction. We expedited our entry into every sight- in some cases bypassing huge lines. This saved time to see more sights as did his knowledge of the local roads and the best routes to get there to avoid traffic. Although Claudio’s vehicle wasn’t new, it was clean inside, he always opened the car doors for us, and he always took care of our luggage. The hotels we stayed at were okay but we would have preferred nicer non smoking accommodations in the city centers and would pay more for the tour to cover the higher hotel costs if given the option.

    This was a wonderful 3 days. Our tour guide Cristian is very so passionate about Romania and Transylvania in particular. He imparted this passion and knowledge to us. This was a private tour, only the 2 of us travelling together. He made suggestions as to the itinerary to ensure that we maximised our time at each location but still saw everything we wanted to.

  • Great tour and fantastic tour guide
