Perfect guide, excellent organization - Manuela was a helpful and good guide, as well as sweet and patient with our son who filled her with questions. Excellent organisation, flexible and efficient.

Educational and personable experience - Greg was fantastic—well versed in the history and friendly. He knew a lot of the history and connected the myths to reality.

The History before the Legend - Interesting History and beautiful view of the surounding on top if the castlr. Thanks to Minhea for all the annecdots that he shared and for the tour in french :-) We really appreciated it !

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!

Great Tour - Lots of information. Wonderful tour with a funny and interactive guide. Would go definitely go again.

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

Our tour guide was very... - Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. However, the tour was described on the Viator app as "guaranteed skip the line" which was a little misleading. Yes you can skip the (very short) line to buy the entrance tickets, however, you cannot skip the line to enter the castle. We visited on quite a busy day and ended up spending almost an hour waiting in line, which was unexpected due to the "skip the line" advertisement. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the tour and the castle

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.
