That meant rush walking a bit at the beginning but it was well worth it because in just a matter of seconds, hundreds of people were behind us. Peles Castle is incredibly impressive and even though I signed up for this tour only knowing about Bran Castle, I was very happy to have seen all the gorgeous craftsmanship and interior offerings of Peles!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 935 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $59

“The company is reliable: you receive very precise information beforehand on what tickets to buy for what time slot. They know what they are doing, and they organize it well. Everything is on time, everything is carried out as promised. Our guide, Matthew, was very knowledgeable, and his black sense of humor was not just entertaining, but memorable. If you listen to his explanations, you end up with an idea of Romanian history and Romanian society today. Any question is answered in a way that we found satisfactory We were a group of six, so everything was quick and smooth, no feeling of mass handling and barely any rush.”
