What To Expect
Peles Castle
Your adventure begins at the resplendent Peles Castle, nestled amidst the idyllic Carpathian Mountains. Constructed between 1873 and 1914 for King Carol I, this architectural marvel is a fine example of German Renaissance design. As you step inside, you'll be transported back in time to the heyday of Romanian royalty, surrounded by intricate wood carvings, exquisite stained glass windows, and sumptuous furnishings. Our expert guides will lead you through the stately ground floor, sharing fascinating historical anecdotes as you explore the grand hall, elegant reception rooms, and opulent dining hall adorned with ornate murals. For those seeking a deeper understanding, an optional tour of the first floor unveils the private apartments, rich tapestries, and exquisite artwork that tell the story of the Romanian royal family.
Manastirea Sinaia

5.00This might have been the most informative and insightful tour my husband and I have ever taken. Vlad, our guide, was very knowledgeable about his country and the history of the areas we visited. I guarantee you'll be impressed with the natural beauty of Cantacuzino castle. Peles castle was nothing less than amazing. Skip Bran castle and tour these instead.

5.00Our guide, Diana, was super. She kept in communication with us and was on time for the tour. We enjoyed both castles, and Diana translated for us when needed. She was happy to take photos for us and was flexible with the tour. Wine tasting with the Carpathian Mountains in the background was spectacular!

5.00Stepping into my 100th country, Romania did not disappoint. The Peleș Castle, nestled amidst the Carpathians, was a captivating spectacle that rivalled many a European landmark. Equally compelling was the Cantacuzino Castle with its Netflix fame. However, the standout was the wine tasting at Cantacuzino. This Romanian tour is an undisputed 5-star experience, offering a unique blend of cultural heritage, cinematic appeal, and divine wines.

5.00Man, what a time I had in Romania! Peleș Castle was like stepping into a time machine, full of jaw-dropping beauty and fascinating stories. And Cantacuzino Castle? Just as cool! They even filmed a Netflix show there. But the highlight was definitely the wine tasting. A 5-star experience for sure. Romanian wines? Top-notch! History, beautiful views, and delicious wine... who could ask for more?
Great and great again
