Nice day trip from Bucharest - It's a very long day because of the distance travelled and amount of traffic on the roads, but it's worth it. Be aware that the climb up to the entrance to Dracula's castle is very steep, and the stairs inside are narrow, so make sure you are able to handle that if you want to go inside. There are plenty of shops and things to do outside if you choose not to go inside the castle. It would have been nice to see the inside of Peles Castle, but it was closed on the day that we went there. It was lovely outside. Transylvania is beautiful! I would highly recommend this trip.

Good day trip - Nice day out to see the castles, especially the Peles Castle, worth a long day trip! Bran Castle was a bit overhyped.

Family trip to Transylvania - Very good experience going to Peles and Bran castles. Lucian was very knowledgeable about the history of the place. He made the experience both interesting and fascinating but not boring.

Transylvania - Full day tour with get tour guide to Bran and Peles castles with stop in Brasov, very characteristic village. We leave early in the morning from Bucharest with destination Dracula Castle. Along the way you will meet the lush nature and forests of Transylvania and also the castle where the Netflix series Wednesday was set! Castle Bran beautiful, quite rustic but perched ... in the inner garden and beautiful history legend. The beautiful town of Brasov with Gothic churches and colorful houses looks very much like Alsace! Then castle Peles...home of royalty...lavish! It definitely deserves the cost of the ticket! Beautiful area
