★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 153 reviews · 12 hours · from $88Our pick

Bucharest to Sinaia, Bran, and Brașov in one day: royal Peleș Castle, Dracula-linked Bran, and medieval streets, with a small-group guide.

“I wasnt expecting any explanations on the way to the first stop but we were given a fascinating introduction of the towns we drove past which was nice. We were given enough time to visit the 3 sights. Julian was very knowledgeable and you can see he takes this job very seriously. There were only one other on this tour which was absolutely amazing, especially seeing 2 bus loads of another company. I would've hated to be with such a huge group.”

“Booked this tour for my boyfriends birthday. It was good fun! Slight miscommunication with the guide who took us out on the snowmobiles as he doesn’t speak English, but Vlad rectified. Would recommend the tour. Only criticism would be to have a circular route as opposed to driving the same route there and back. But all in all, good fun!”
