Sinaia and Brasov in one long day from Bucharest, with hotel pickup, Peles Castle, the Cota 1000 gondola, and Brasov Old Town.
“We had completed a trip the day before to Peles Castle and to Brasov and Bran Castle. In the overview, it mentions nothing about Bran Castle, therefore I thought it would be fine to revisit Sinaia and Brasov. The problem was 4 adults were stuffed into a VW Passat which only seats 3 passengers comfortably. At pick up, the guide/driver mentioned Bran Castle and since we knew the twisting road was to come, we opted to leave after 15 minutes while still in Bucharest. Not a good experience. You should´ve been clearer about the tour.”
One-day Bucharest tour to fortified Transylvanian villages, Peles Castle, Paltinu Lake, and Sinaia gondola, with hotel pickup and water.
“Guide was very knowledgeable of the history and origins of what we saw. The itinerary was flexible as far as how much time we spent at each stop. Vlad was very concerned that we enjoyed the tour.”
A 1-hour English guided walk through Sinaia’s Peleș Castle, with expert context on King Carol I, royal rooms, and an epic weapon collection.
“The guide was like encyclopedia - she obviously knew all the facts but represented them on auto-pilot. We basically ran through the castle and barely had time to look around. We could have as well read the information from the boards in each room ourselves. 55 euros per person in this case feels complete waste of money.”

“Book this trip over the web and looked forward to seeing the Peles castle. However, on another tour we took as told that castle was closed on Monday and Tuesday! No warning on the website etc of this so very pissed off!! Driver was sympathic about it but there should have been a warning only open Wed to Fri to be fair to tourists who are buying the tour and expect to see what is offered. Salt mine was just amasing such a large holes cut in the rock just amasing!!! The guide was good and offered a safe drive and good knowledge, hence a good finish. However, it is…”
Private 10-hour Sinaia day trip from Bucharest with Triumph Arch, Doftana and Izvorul Alb villages, plus Peleș Castle and Pelișor.
“The visits to the small villages is a terrific tour. The highlight was a visit to a 185 year old family farm that exists without running water or gas. They have no vehicle and all work is done by hand with horse and wagon. It takes you back to early 1900. The tour guide Aiden is fantastic, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He made the day long trip a fun adventure.”

He kept in touch via Whatsapp very well, to ensure we knew when and where he would pick us up. Price was very reasonable and the trip gets you into the mountains without being too long. Recommended!
