This full-day small-group tour lasts about 12 to 14 hours and departs from Bucharest. It travels through the Carpathian Mountains to visit two notable castles in Romania: Peles Castle and Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's Castle. The tour also includes a stop in the city of Brasov. Transportation is by a modern air-conditioned minivan or minibus with wifi. A professional English-speaking guide provides live commentary throughout the trip. The first stop is Peles Castle, the former residence of the Romanian Royal Family and the most visited castle in the country. Visitors may enter the castle with tickets purchased separately online, choosing an early time slot between 9:15 and 12:00 or 10:00 and 12:00 depending on the day. If guests do not want to enter, they can walk the castle gardens or relax at a nearby café while the guide shares historical information. Note that from November 3 to December 2, Peles Castle is closed for cleaning and restoration; during this period, the tour visits Pelisor Castle from outside instead. Next, the group arrives in Brasov for a guided walking tour of the historical center lasting about two hours. After the walk, there is free time for lunch and independent exploration. The final stop is Bran Castle, scheduled between 16:15 and 17:45. Visitors must purchase their own tickets, choosing either a Standard Ticket or a Royal Tour Plus Fast Pass (guided tours are not needed since the tour guide provides explanations). Guests should select a 16:00 or 17:00 entry time. Audio guides in Spanish, Italian, French, and Hebrew are available on guests’ phones with general information about each location. Entrance fees to the castles are not included in the tour price.
