What To Expect
Bran Castle
Step inside if you dare! We Romanians are often amused that 80% of the hundreds of thousands of tourists that book Tours of Romania and come from across the globe to see the Castle of Dracula, or more accurately, the Bran Castle, leave with their history lesson learned and forget about Bram Stoker’s fiction. Once you see it in person, you will understand why this castle is a symbol of Romanian tourism and why it is the most visited tourist attraction in Romania.
Peles Castle
Two Castles in a one-day tour If have decided to write your memoirs or you want to brag about having seen the most beautiful castles in Europe, the Romanian royal family’s summer residence is, by far, one of the most important tourist attractions in Romania and in Europe, and you will soon understand why. Every year, thousands of important figures and hundreds of thousands of tourists book tours of Romania for this attraction alone, to admire its beauty and at least for a few hours, feel like royalty.

5.00Excellent and very personalized tour with Nicolas, who was a tremendous guide. We learned not about the area we visited, but so much about Romania and the transition from communism! Highly recommend this tour!
Castles and more!

5.00Great tour. Communication prior to tour was thorough. Nicolae picked our group of 3 up promptly at 7 am. Nicolae was a wealth of knowledge and shared insight to all the spots we stopped. We had a delicious lunch outside Peles Castle, thanks to Nicolae’s suggestion. It was a long day but worth it. Both castles and the small town of Brasov were worth the visit. We enjoyed Nicolae’s information and safe driving so much, that we hired him to drive us to our river cruise location the next morning. I highly recommend this company.
An interesting guide, and a good driver

5.00Chosen on the internet at random and at the last moment, Nicolas organized everything including booking tickets for Peles that I could not finalize He picked us up from the hotel and drove us for 10 hours in confidence and security Bran solo tour, Brasov tour by car and lunch at Sergiana before showing us around Peles and back to Bucharest Even more interesting were the exchanges with him on general subjects: East European politics, religion, economics, sociology, etc. We were all delighted and when I get back I'll contact him again, for sure. Thank you Nicolas for such a beautiful day
Excellent tour! Highly recommend!

5.00We had the most amazing tour with Dan! We traveled for a month around Europe and this was the best tour on our whole trip. Dan was extremely knowledgeable, informative and kind. I traveled with my 2 teenage children and Dan kept them both engaged on this long day. Peles Castle and Brasov were the highlights. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Dan.

1.00Upon entering his car he told me my soft bag would damage his plastic in the car. WHAT? He was rude. He was belligerent. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Never ever hire this awful guide
Great tour!!

5.00The highlight of this tour was Peles Castle. A remarkable site to see! Our guide Nicolas Miroiu was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of history, facts and figures was really impressive ! I highly recommend this tour!
Best Tour Guide You’ll Find in Romania!! So much fun!

5.00Nicholas is such a fun, personable, smart and knowledgeable tour guide. He hosted a private tour for me and my cousin, showing us Bran’s Castle, Peles Castle, and Brasov. We enjoyed a great meal with him where he introduced us to local cuisine. He was funny and entertaining, making our education of Romanian history very enjoyable. I will now always remember that Carol I ruled for exactly 48 years… not 50, not 60. If you’re coming to Romania, I would highly recommend Nicholas. Best tour guide ever!
Great Private Tour Experience!

5.00We had a great tour with Dan! I forgot that it was Easter and Peles Castle was closed. We were able to visit and take photos from the outside, which was fine, since my main interest was Bran. Dan also took us to Sinaia Monestary that was on the way. Dan was flexible, knowledgeable and we had a fabulous day!
Don’t miss Transylvania.

5.00Transylvania is a must do. Long day/drive from Bucharest, but well worth it. I suspect most go to see Bran Castle, but Peles Castle is the highlight. Dan is congenial and well informed. Don’t miss this one.
Splendid!!

5.00Daniel was such an excellent tour guide. There wasn’t one question he could not answer. He took his time, was flexible, and made everything happen smoothly. Highly recommend even if this costs more it’s worth it!!!! You get what you pay for and this guy is spectacular.
