What To Expect
Targoviste
The Târgoviște Royal Court (Curtea Domnească din Târgoviște) is a historic architectural complex in Târgoviște, Romania, that served as the residence and administrative center of Wallachian rulers from the 15th to the 17th century. It was one of the main residences of Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș), the infamous voivode of Wallachia, who ruled from here and reinforced its fortifications. Key Features: Chindia Tower – The most iconic structure, built by Vlad the Impaler, used as a watchtower and defensive stronghold. The Princely Church – A Byzantine-style church adorned with frescoes, where Wallachian rulers worshipped. Ruins of the Royal Palace – The remains of the once grand princely residence, showcasing medieval and Renaissance architectural influences. Fortifications – Defensive walls and towers strengthened under Vlad the Impaler’s rule to protect the court from invasions.
Bran Castle
Bran Castle, often referred to as Dracula's Castle, is a medieval fortress located near Bran, Romania, perched on a rocky hilltop with breathtaking views of the surrounding Carpathian Mountains. Built in the 14th century as a strategic defense point against Ottoman invasions, the castle is one of Romania’s most famous landmarks due to its dramatic architecture and legendary association with Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Țepeș), the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Key Features: Gothic Architecture – A striking medieval fortress with stone towers, hidden passageways, and narrow staircases. Dracula Mythology – Although Vlad the Impaler may never have lived here, the castle’s eerie, imposing presence and remote location have fueled its connection to Bram Stoker’s novel. Today, Bran Castle is a major tourist attraction, drawing those fascinated by its gothic allure, vampire legends, and deep historical significance.

Fascinating 7 day tour , brilliant Guide/driver. Definitely recommend

5.00We have completed the seven day tour of Transylvania and Mutamures and Bucovona. Our driver was Alina and she was remarkable, very knowledgeable, a fabulous driver, bearing in mind all the mountains we had to go over. All the places we stayed at were first rate we had asked for twin bedded rooms with ensuite, and that’s what we had. In the guesthouses, the food was really lovely and traditional and in Brasov the owner of the guest house we were staying in directed us to a very good restaurant about 100 yards away, and we went to the nearby bakery for breakfast as the breakfast in Casa Timar in Brasov was not up to standard and like everywhere else. Bogdan, who is the owner of this company has put together a fantastic tour, and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Transylvania and Romania

5.00Mimi our guide was friendly and very informative. She knew so much about the castles we visited. She also stopped whenever we wanted so we could get coffee or food. She understood my friend couldn't walk too far and made allowances for that and sat with him whilst I wandered about.
Great Day Trip to explore Transylvania

5.00My brother and I did a three-day private tour with Bogdan and it was amazing! I came in not knowing much about Romania and left the trip with a wealth of knowledge. Bogdan taught us so much about Romanian culture and history and made me fall in love with the country! The castles were breathtaking and one of my favorite parts was seeing the local villages. While we were in Brasov we also got to stay in a wonderful guest house with very hospitable people. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is coming to Romania for the first time.
