Castles of Transylvania: Private Day Trip from Bucharest

Posted By : Mario_S

We stayed at this hotel for three nights. The hotel is presented as a 4 stars hotel but I would say it is more of a B&B. It is very old and could do with some updating.The rooms are small but very clean. The staff is friendly and polite. Breakfast is good. The quality/price ratio is advantageous. The location in the city is excellent. Don't expect 4 star hotel but a good 3 star hotel. Recommended!

Pele Castle was amazing, though extremely crowded and we did not realize that a tour was not included, just transportation to and from. Bran Castle was not much and again a tour was not included so basically we paid for a private driver to and from each castle. He was personable and informative but spent most of his time chatting with the colleague that was brought along.

Driver showed up late and then once arrived informed us it would not be a private tour even though that is what we paid for. Said either go on tour or not—no discount for no longer being private. False advertising!! Also a very dangerous driver! Very scary ride. Vehicle had no air conditioning even though advertised as such. This at 100 degrees F. Cracked windshield. Even though advertised as guide not a licensed guide. I would give an even lower score if I could!! Do not recommend!!

Great all-day tour of the Transylvania region. Our guide, Christian, was terrific. He had a lot of great tips and insights into the area and history of the region. He let us choose the pace we wanted to go (fast) and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see.

Peles Castle-arriving close to opening time, so we missed the long line. Also 2 hours in Brasov to eat and shop. Bran Castle was also fabulous.

Fabulous trip, brilliant tour guide Claudiu. Very flexible on timings and ensuring we got ahead of the crowds. Brasov was a real highlight.

I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery on my drive to Transylvania. The castles were both lovely and different and feeling and style. I would have enjoyed a little more information on the castles from my guide however, he was pleasant enough.

This was a great tour. Those two castles and the city of Brazov are a must see if you are in Bucharest. The tour is well paced and leaves you enough time alone to explore these beautiful places. Our guide Christian was great.

Very nice and committed tour guide, unfortunately it was not clear from the description that the tours take place without a tour guide. That's why it was only very good instead of excellent.

Firstly, a big thank you to Cristian who looked after us very well. He commenced commentary from the get go, pointing out different buildings and lots of story telling on the way. He gave us plenty of time to explore Bran castle, called ahead to find out how busy places were so he could do the sights in reverse. Well done, we skipped the crowds. Next stop Brasov for lunch, again plenty of time then on to Peles castle. We’re weren’t sure about visiting the castle, but we trusted his judgement and so glad we did. All stops 100% worth it, I will be recommending to my friends.
