Wow! Just an outstanding experience! It was a rainy Friday day, perfect for a day trip to the castles and to Brasov. The pick up area was very comfortable and the bus arrived on time. We had the MOST EXCELLENT tour guide - Vlad! He is a really gem! His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour so enjoyable. Apart the history of the castles and the medieval town, he provided us with some useful information and insights about Bucharest, Romania, the economy of the country, the daily life of the citizens. It was a very informative and enjoyable tour.
The Peles castle is just a miracle. It was soooo beautiful and breathtaking while on the other side Bran castle was smaller, more simple. Of course it is worth a visit as it is not so far from Peles castle but ok, it is a bit overrated and not so spectacular as Peles. You could as well visit the torture room displaying all the fanciful medieval torturing devices at the Bran Castle. You need to pay a little bit extra (around 4 Euro /person) but it's worth visiting.
