Full-day Transylvania tour from Bucharest with Peles, Bran, and Brasov. Long day, castle tickets extra, great guides and views.

“Both castles were very rushed. We barely had 30 min at Bran Castle due to the wait in line. Should cancel the stop in Brasov and only do the two castles. Should also offer the tour w the castle entry tickets included. It’s too messy to expect customers to read the fine print, and go to a 2nd website to book the entry tickets. Also the Gray Line site was down so it was not possible to pay for the entry tickets. I bought them at each castle website based on the times indicated in the booking (9-11 at Peles w latest admission at 11am - the text was confusing).…”

We had food at places where tourists wouldn't normally go and it was delicious. Everything we tried was local. The outdoor market was an experience! Andrea took the time to explain the different sections of the market and answered all of our questions about the different fruits and veggies we saw. Cool to know she shopped there, too. It was an amazing tour made even better with Andrea ! Take the tour if you find yourself in Bucharest. You will not be…”

Full-day Bucharest to Transylvania tour with tickets included for Peleș and Bran, plus a guided Brașov walk. Long day, big payoff.

“I only had 1.5 days in Romania and this tour was an excellent way to spend one of them. I got to see a lot, and felt that although it was a long day overall, the amount of time we spent in each location was appropriate. The guide (Roxana) was very good, and I learnt so much from her. The driver was also great, driving safely and looking after our backpacks when we were on site. I travelled alone but got to know some of the other people in my (nearly full) minivan.
