Amazing Castles Tour - This tour was fantastic! Florin took us from Braşov to Bran Castle and Peles Castle and it was the most entertaining thing I did my whole visit in Romania! Florin in particular is a very knowledgeable tour guide who is also great to chat with and talk about life in Romania. If I could only do one thing my entire trip to România, this is what I would pick.

Amazing Tour of Castles in Romania - Technically this a review from our tour in June 2023. I’m using TripAdvisor for the first time in forever and realized I had never left a review! This was such a great way to see a bunch of different castles in Romania. The guide was so personable and engaging. We had people who spoke Spanish in our group and he smoothly switched between English and Spanish so the mix of languages was no issue at all. Pick up and drop off in Brasov was a breeze. The highlight for me by far was Peles Castle. Bran was cool and I loved the history and all but Peles blew me out of the water. It was so different and so ornate. The wood carvings are indescribable. They just have to be seen. I would absolutely recommend this tour to any one looking to see some of these amazing sites in Romania.

Excellent tour, tour guide was excellent, wonderful way to spend the day - Most importantly, the tour guide made this day tour exceptional - his historical knowledge, logistics to guide the group, mastery at avoiding bad weather and crowds to make our castle visits efficient and enjoyable, and including the monastery was the icing on the cake. Exceptional tour, worth every penny.

Great tour. Visiting the monastery as well as the castles made this a brilliant day out. - Excellent tour guide and 3 great places to visit. The monastery was so beautiful and interesting. Peles castle was incredible and Bram Castle had an interesting history. We never felt rushed and our guide shared so much useful and fascinating information. He really looked after everyone too. And we had a very good driver. Thank you for a great day.

A wonderful day spent - Florine was an excellent guide, and he delivered the tour in three languages. He was patient and helpful with my mother, who needs a cane.
The castles were wonderful, as was the monastery. Be prepared to sit in the car for a while, because traffic can be bad in the mountains. Florine did well to pop in with some facts along the road.

Fantastic castle visit with Florin - We had a fantastic tour of both Castle Bran and Castle Pereş along with the Pereş Monasteries with Florin, a true local who is very proud of his country and fluent in multiple languages!
Castle Pereş is the best castle interior I have ever seen...
Thanks so much, Florin.
