The recommendations of our tour guides: We are always eager to make sure our guests have a wonderful time while participating on our tours. Organizing private and small group tours allows us to be flexible with time and always have opportunities for breaks. Usually, we arrive to Bran around mid-day and after visiting Bran castle our guests can have some free time on the premises and nearby the castle grounds for lunch, shopping or photographing the area. In the Tea House, a small restaurant in the castle’s courtyard one can try the Funeral cake, a porridge like dessert with walnuts, raisins, rom and much more. In Romanian called Coliva the funeral cake usually is served at funerals and commemoration of deceased loved ones. It goes well with a good coffee or tea. Nearby the castle entrance a small souvenir market is located, our favorite stall is selling traditional masks and handcrafted objects and textiles. Please ask your guide to point it out to you! Our guests have the option to decide to have a proper sit-down meal or something quick on the move. The same market has food stalls, one of the most popular ones sells Romanian Hot Dogs (local sausage sandwiches) and Hanul Bran restaurant offers a large choice of tasty Romanian cuisine.
Meeting point: In front of Biblioteca Județeană "George Barițiu", Bulevardul Eroilor 33-35. Please be aware that we provide pick-up and drop-off services exclusively within the city of Brașov, as well as for guests staying outside the old town. The pick-up time will vary based on the location requested. Additionally, we are happy to drop off guests at a different location than the pick-up point for an additional fee.

Rasnov Citadel: Garden and Panoramic View
Please note: - when you book online the extension of Peles Castle, we visit this site first, than Bran Castle and Rasnov Fortress! - RASNOV FORTRESS IS CLOSED, for the moment! Anyhow, we could visit the outside walls and exterior court. Explore two of Transylvania’s most impressive citadels and discover why the region is steeped in mysterious lore. Your professional guide will pick you up in central Braşov in a car or minivan for the 30-minute ride south to Râșnov, situated among the stunning Bucegi Mountains. Learn about the storied history of Râșnov Fortress, a walled stone compound designed to ward off attacks by the fierce Tartars and used as a refuge for local villagers during medieval warfare. Explore the time-worn courtyards, ramparts and well of the 13th-century fortress built by the Teutons. Opt to have lunch in Râșnov if you like (own expense).
Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle)
A short drive brings you to Bran Castle, nicknamed ‘Dracula’s Castle’ for its ties to Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic tale and its bloodthirsty villain. The high stone walls and red turrets of this hilltop citadel come into view as you approach the secluded castle, set among the dramatic backdrop of the Carpathians. Enter if you dare, after paying the site fee (own expense), and wander through the castle’s many well-preserved rooms and chambers with your guide. Gothic furnishings and details help set the scene for ghastly legends of all that happened here, including the imprisonment of Vlad the Impaler. This 15th-century prince was notorious for his bloodthirsty campaigns against invading Turks and is said to have inspired Stoker’s malevolent Count Dracula.

I enjoyed Peles castle, bran Castle, not so much…

5.00I loves Peles Castle, Bran Castle was not my cup of tea, I recommend staying outside and enjoy the street vendors, the inside was small cramped and was like a maze that you couldn’t escape. With narrow hallways and passages it was overcrowded. The fender selling food before the entrance was really great. The food was good. The beer was good. Art tour guide was good and very knowledgeable. His driving was a little crazy. I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride flopping all over the place, lol all in all, I would recommend the store.
An Essential Transylvanian Experience

5.00It is an essential tour for every Transylvania visitor. Peles is definitely recommended too. Our guide Tiberiu was very knowledgeable and helpful!
You don't need to read anything, the tour guide knows all the information by heart

5.00I was meant to be in a group with 2 more people who cancelled, so ended up having a private tour which was amazing! Dan called me the night before to make sure I book an online ticket beforehand for Peleş Castle (honestly, one of the most impressive castles I've seen! Don't miss it). He picked me up and once we arrived at Peleş (and everywhere else) he knew EVERYONE which allowed us to enter swiftly and see everything. We then continued to see Bran Castle and Raşnov Fortress, as described in the tour. Dan also stopped at "Cantacuzino" Castle, where the Netflix show 'Wednesday' was filmed (but we just saw it from the outside). Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and bombarded me with so many historical facts and details of the places we saw, Romanian history and also his personal story (having lived in Braşov all his life), that I regret not having taken a notebook, as there's no way to remember it all. I didn't have to read any signs at the castles, as Dan knew all the details for each painting, item and architectural detail. Absolutely amazing! He also kept me entertained by singing karaoke versions of hits by Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé and Adele. If I had a better singing voice, I would have joined in, but unfortunately I wasn't blessed in that regard. Overall, I had an amazing day and really enjoyed the tour. Dan made me feel comfortable and I left having learned a lot in one day. Highly recommend.

3.00I was the only person on the trip which made it feel like a private tour, which is not for everyone. Entry to Bran castle is mandatory and should have been mentioned in the booking otherwise the trip is pointless and this could have been done easily without taking a tour guide. I enjoyed the trip but the guide not sure.
We had a great guide who...
