5.00A wonderful day trip from Bucharest. Peles Castle exceeded my expectations, and Dracula's Castle is one of those must-see attractions in Romania. Brasov was also a cool city that was well worth a visit. It is a long day, but it is a must-do while in Romania. You may feel rushed in places due to the number of kilometers covered and places visited. However, I believed that enough time was spent at each location. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
Great service and very accomodating driver :)

5.00It was a trip of 13 people with minibus and a driver. The driver picked us up from the hotel then head to Peles Castle, accompanied us until the ticket counter. Then, we headed Bran Castle and the tour ends in Brasov Old town. He then brought us back to Bucharest. 2 castles in one day :) Total of 10-12 hours tour. It went well. Driver is very accomodating and very patient. Thanks, Juni!
