Dracula's Castle & Peles Palace Tour from Bucharest Including Brasov Old Town

We offer you a well balanced round trip, starting from Bucharest, with a little bit of everything included: breathtaking scenery, fairytale castles, amazing ruins, historical places, monuments and, as much as possible, interaction with the locals.
Book this tour if you want to learn what, when, where and why about Romania.
We will show you all the must-see attractions, but our speciality are the many sights most other tour operators don't include in their set route.
Please note: We don't do shared tours, we only do private tours. If you'd like to travel together with a bunch of strangers, each one with his own agenda, pace and his good or bad habits, there are plenty of other travel agents out there happy to accommodate you.
Anyway, a private tour doesn't necessarily mean an expensive tour. Please take a moment to review our prices. You'll find private tours at the price of a shared tour or cheaper!
