Highlights

Due to its historical and artistic value, it remains one of the most important and beautiful monuments in Europe and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Romania (2nd place after Bran Castle).\n\nThe castle will surely impress you by its opulence, by the fact that it has 160 rooms, and that at its time it was fully electrified. It also had an elevator and a movable glass ceiling which opened on demand. The king used to impress his guests by showing them the starry summer night sky.

Peles and Bran Castles - Ramona was a fabulous tour guide with lots of knowledge of the history in Brasov. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this trip!! Super friendly and patient and even contacted us prior to let us know the castles we wanted to see were not open on our chosen date; she helped us change to the next day to ensure we had the best trip ever!!

Beautiful sites and a great guide - Our guide, Ramona, is so knowledgeable. She made suggestions for the day and how to maximize the time at the sites and minimize time waiting in traffic. She accompanied us through Peles and Bran Castles, adding context to what we were seeing. She helped us to procure tickets quickly. I felt so much better informed on the history of Romania. She arranged for a stop for lunch, which was very pleasant. I highly recommend seeing this beautiful sites. Ramona is an excellent guide.

Experience Romania with Ramona! - If you are looking to book this kind of tour while in Brasov book with Ramona! She is very very knowledgeable about the sights and the country itself and our day was set at an ideal pace. Our tour was very enjoyable and we learned a lot about Bran castle, Peleś and 2 monasteries through Ramona’s story of all of them connecting which was very neat to experience.
Thank you Ramona!!!
