Highly recommend! - Highly recommend! We booked castle tickets via Booking.com and when we met Maria to collect the tickets from Transylvanian Wonders, we booked the tour and did not regret it for a second. Greg was funny, very very knowledgeable and really made our visit!

Guided tour of Bran Castle - Interesting historical insights, impressive architecture. Sometimes, the place might be a little too crowded.

So, so busy - Bran Castle is a beautiful castle, epitomising the traditional fairy tale castle. I believe it is the most visited attraction in Romania. Whilst I enjoyed the castle and exhibits, including the unbelievably gruesome torture exhibition ( pay extra) it is so, so busy. Like a production line. I didn’t feel I had time to read the info or take in what I was seeing as you felt pressured to keep moving.

A waste of money: a quick 20-min hurry through with little explanation - Book this tour if you want to question your life choices. Otherwise, get your ticket directly in person or online (60 lei) and save the 32 pounds as there was no value-add from my tour today. Booked after reading reviews here and was looking forward to it, but the actual experience made me feel like I was scammed. The tour lasted around 25 min, had a grand total of no more than 200 words said to me. Would've been shorter if I hadn't insisted on just reading the museum descriptions on the wall myself while the gentleman stood there waiting. I was the only one for my time slot, and was not assigned any of the tour guides praised here in other reviews. My guide did not seem like he really cared about the castle nor knew anything substantial to share with visitors. The recipe went: we go into a new room, "this is the king's bedroom", point at fireplace, "many fireplace, keep them warm, very nice", then we would hurry into the next room to repeat a similar repertoire with the same level of detail. You can imagine the disappointment and irritation one might feel hearing the stark contrast vs other tour guides that are leading other tours in the same room - providing any amount of actual tour-guiding.... I kept waiting for the guide to start giving the tour, but that was it. There were rooms that he said I didn't even have to bother going into just because there was a small queue. I felt rushed. We ended up in the courtyard where he hastily said good bye and pointed me to the exit. As I walked down alone later, at 11:40 thinking about how I will spend my time since my 1-hr tour ended within 30min, and how much money the tour company must be making from so little work - I saw the same guy take another 2-people group up the castle. Instead of the Bran Castle Skip-the-Line Guided Tour, Skip-the-Bran Castle tour felt more fitting for my experience today. Also note the meeting point is not at Bran Castle, check your ticket.

Don’t book a tour or go in the summer - Unfortunately it was so busy trying to keep a group together and give explanations was pretty much impossible. Not the guide’s fault but shouldn’t be a guided tour.
