Highly recommend - Toured with Florin, who was exceptionally knowledgeable. Castle Bran has a decent inclined path to reach the castle. Pelles Palace was the most beautiful castle I have toured ever. It is a must see and well worth the time. Interesting to see both in the same day. Florin did a flawless job of translating between two languages, but actually speaks four. He made our day entertaining and informative. We enjoyed this day trip very much. Also, the tour takes you on a winding mountain road with some start and stop traffic for parts of it. I took some dramamine-it would have not been pretty without it! Just a heads up to people who may have motion sickness!

Great experience - Great experience, good driving and organization. Surely the castle of Peles is much more impressive than the castle of Bran.

Perfect Guide to Castles - Florin was an exceptional guide and his driver was great also. Florin was helpful from the time of booking, helping us adjust our schedule to get the most out of what we wanted to see. He communicated early and even suggested a way to catch the return train from an intermediate village rather than return all the way to Brashov and inculded possible trains. He was articulate and knowledgeable about everything. He knew how to beat the bigger tours and time our visits. He even got us through the largest rainstorm he had experience in 8 years, without hurting our tours. This was a great tour and guide.

super fun and interesting, highly recommended! - I was so excited about this tour and was not disappointed! Florin was absolutely amazing. He was so enthusiastic, knew so much about all the sights and random, interesting facts about Romania and the Brasov region and spoke flawless English and Italian. One of the best tour guides I've ever had. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you luck out and get Florin as your guide!

2 castles and a monastery - you get to cover two castles and a monastery. castle bran if anything is more a checkbox item but dare i say its not exactly a very big castle and can be a bit on the touristy side. the real attraction is the second castle which is the summer palace of romanian royalty. thats the real fine piece of art
