Great day trip to the castles. Highly recommend! - Really great day trip with Adrian. We got to see Pele’s castle and Bran (Dracula’s) castle and really enjoyed both. Weather was great. Long drive from Bucharest but worth it. Highly recommend!

Brilliant day with Emmanuel - Can’t recommend this day trip with Emmanuel enough! It is absolutely worth doing a private tour over a group tour for this trip - it saves a ton of time and you have more flexibility. Emmanuel was fantastic - so knowledgable about Romania’s history, a great sense of humour and a brilliant guide. We had the best day with him! We drove for 1hr30 to Peleş Castle, approx 1hr to Bran Castle and then approx 30 mins to Braşov. We had plenty of time in each place to tour and see everything, with Emmanuel being totally flexible on meeting us when we were done. Our drive back to Bucharest was approx 3hrs (Sunday traffic!), but on all of our drives, Emmanuel was taking interesting routes, showing us different towns and communities and giving us a wealth of fascinating information. We were out for 12hrs in total - it’s a full day so don’t try to make any more plans that day. Overall a brilliant day and strongly recommend taking this private tour with Emmanuel!

Amazing private tour with Emmanuel … - One of the best tours we’ve taken from Viator. Emmanuel was an excellent driver/tour guide. It was very informative & learned a lot about România from its struggle under communism & the present day freedom that the people are enjoying!

A Great Day! - Emmanuel was amazing! We were supposed to meet at 0800, but I overslept and instead of leaving he called then waited for me to get ready. That was greatly appreciated and was a great start to the day. The ride to Peles Castle was about 1 1/2 hours, but he knew what I needed and switched up the order of the locations. You can tell he's very attentive and very knowledgeable. There was a festival happening near Dracula's Castle so we took a small detour and it made the trip even that more fun. The ride back was about 2 1/2 hours so be prepared for a long day. The only downside was that we couldn't find any parking at Bravos, but we were able to drive around and take pictures.
