We enjoyed a nice little lunch in Sighisoara and some rhubarb cake in Viscri. Honestly, it felt like hanging out with a really knowledgeable old friend! Highly recommend- it was the highlight of my trip to Romania!”

“The Bran Castle is interesting but somewhat over-rated. The castle furnishings are not authentic nor necessarily time-accurate rather they are furnishings and objects donated by local residents to provide something for tourists to look at rather than empty rooms. I had not read anything about the castle before the tour and encourage others to do so - so you are not disappointed in it as I was. The history of the region and the castle inhabitants is interesting and is available on Wikipedia as our guide indicated. Also realize that during the off season, there is no need to pay extra for the "quick entry" since there is no que…”

It was a pleasure to spend the day with him and it really felt like a road trip with a friend! He was incredibly attentive to our needs and even stoppee so we could take pictures at Bran castle on the way back because we hadnt had time to see it previously.

Start from Brasov with guide Adrian in a private Mercedes V-Class minivan. Visit Peles Castle, Bran Castle, and Rasnov Fortress garden, with castle storytelling, hotel pickup, skip-the-line help, and an optional Romanian lunch at his family’s restaurant.

“Adrian is a world class guide. His knowledge of history and the specific places we toured was amazing. It is obvious he loves his country an is proud to share his knowledge. Peles Palace (castle) is not to be missed and we left with a great history lesson on Carol I, his family, how he became Prince then King and ultimately the most famous non Romanian Romanian. The value of the private tour is immediately understood when you are one or two couples on the tour versus the other tours we saw with 40 or 50 people trying to hear their guide. The Rasnov fortress is very impressive in spite…”
