Highlights
  • Peles Castle - We leave at 8AM, in early morning from your hotel in Bucharest, to be sure that we won’t have surprises on the road because of the traffic. Our first stop is Sinaia, a mountain resort from the popular Prahova Valley where we’ll visit our first castle.

The 2-day tour will begin with the tour of Peles Castle, a castle used by the royal family in the 19th and 20th century. The mountain and the elegant gardens from around the castle add even more charm to this extraordinary castle. Inside, you will see the luxury: golden chandeliers, walnut tree carvings, marble fountains, Venetian mirrors, secret chambers, a royal armory, one of the finest collections of art in Eastern and Central Europe, and exotic timbers and solid bronze doors.

  • Black Church (Biserica Neagra) - Next up is Brasov city where you will have your stay too, we will show you the highlights building and history of the old town. Starting more than 900 years ago the history of Brasov is very close to the knights, the Saxons, and the invaders.
    The visit to the Black Church, which dominates the main square and is Brasov’s most important monument. It is the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul. Called the Black Church because of the Great Fire the city endured in 1689.

Peles, Bran, Brashov from Bucharest - Guide was Traian and he was very good. Answered all our questions and gave us a great tour of the sites we visited. The lines were long to get into Peles and Bran castles. Traian waited in line for us while we roamed the grounds so that we could make the most of our time. Traffic was very heavy in August. Be prepared for a long drive.

Excellent Tour - We booked a custom tour of Peles and Bran castles because we had two infants in our group and thought three attractions would be too much for the little ones. Holiday To Romania arranged all tickets (except for the additional photo fee at Peles castle) and transportation for our group. Our guide (Vlad) picked us up and dropped us off in Brasov at our hotel. He offered lots of great information about each attraction and happily talked with us about Romania, its people, and its culture. This was a wonderful tour and we highly recommend using Holiday In Romania.

Fabulous day trip thankls to Adrian - Adrian was a fabulous guide, who contacted us in advance. He was able to be our guide in Peles Castle which was very much a family castle as opposed to Bran Castle. We visited on Halloween, when the castle was completely decorated which amazed our guide!! Again Adrian was really knowledgeable. Fantastic little restaurant in Bran Castle grounds, with awesome soup. Brasov was an interesting little town- Adrian took us to a lovely local restaurant he knew where we shared local food. Excellent driver and attentive to our needs

Trip to Peles and Bran Castle from Brasov - Highly recommend this tour. We had a great day out with Dan. He was very knowledgable, professional and made the entire day enjoyable. He provided private tours of each castle, no need to wait in lines and the whole process of organising and booking the tour went very smoothly.
