Highlights
- Peles Castle - The first stop we make is at Peles Castle. It is considered the most important historical (German-influenced) architectural ensemble in Romania. Due to its historical and artistic value, it remains one of the most important and beautiful monuments in Europe and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Romania (2nd place after Bran Castle).\n\nThe castle will surely impress you by its opulence, by the fact that it has 160 rooms, and that at its time it was fully electrified. It also had an elevator and a movable glass ceiling which opened on demand. The king used to impress his guests by showing them the starry summer night sky.

Loved it - Ramona is very knowledgeable and able to communicate it. Her guidance helps you to understand and connect all, and is also very practical because she knows where to stay longer and which parts better to go faster or even avoid (eg the ultra long line for the tunnel of time in the Bran Castle) which saves time and money. She gave clear instructions before the tour, as purchasing tickets in advance is very helpful to skip the lines. Despite being a sunny Saturday in the summer holidays, we did not wait in line in any castle, nor in the traffic. The Pelles and Bran castles are classics, and worth the visit. Since the Rasnov ruins were closed, we went to the Wednesday castle. The views from there are absolutely stunning! Pictures Incredible!!

Beautiful castles, surroundings and in expert hands with this tourguide - Each castle is unique and important in Romanias history. Not only the castles but also the surroundings are stunning. We made dozens of pictures that day.
Our guide Ramona found the perfect balance of information. She takes her time, brings a map and explains the relevant history in a clear way that kept full attention of all of our group. Every time before we went to a new place, we all sat down in a quiet place and she would talk and answer our questions. We could even enjoy drinks during these talks.
Ramona gives freedom but stays in control to deal with times which is essential to avoid long lines. Very safe driver too!

Awesome excursion- Highly Recommended - Ramona was an excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable, went out of her way to ensure we had a great time. We were not rushed and she spent time explaining the history and culture. I would highly recommend using Ramona. We were looked after from the minute she picked us up until she dropped us off.

Peles and Bran Castles - Ramona was a fabulous tour guide with lots of knowledge of the history in Brasov. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this trip!! Super friendly and patient and even contacted us prior to let us know the castles we wanted to see were not open on our chosen date; she helped us change to the next day to ensure we had the best trip ever!!

Perfect for One Day - Very good, attentive and polite. I had a great day going around Brasov on a One Day private tour visiting 3 castle. Wonderful experience and Ramona gave a brief history about the places we visited. She is a local and knows all around. Tour was very personalized and perfect weather. There is a lot of nice restaurants in every place you visit. Enjoyed the day. Thank you so much Ramona.

Beautiful sites and a great guide - Our guide, Ramona, is so knowledgeable. She made suggestions for the day and how to maximize the time at the sites and minimize time waiting in traffic. She accompanied us through Peles and Bran Castles, adding context to what we were seeing. She helped us to procure tickets quickly. I felt so much better informed on the history of Romania. She arranged for a stop for lunch, which was very pleasant. I highly recommend seeing this beautiful sites. Ramona is an excellent guide.

Experience Romania with Ramona! - If you are looking to book this kind of tour while in Brasov book with Ramona! She is very very knowledgeable about the sights and the country itself and our day was set at an ideal pace. Our tour was very enjoyable and we learned a lot about Bran castle, Peleś and 2 monasteries through Ramona’s story of all of them connecting which was very neat to experience.
Thank you Ramona!!!
