★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 135 reviews · 8 hours · from $99Our pick

Spend eight hours visiting three very different castles from Brasov: royal Peles, Cantacuzino Castle, the Nevermore Academy filming site for Wednesday, and legendary Bran. An English-speaking guide such as Traian or Claudiu leads the day in a Mercedes V-Class or similar van. Castle admission and lunch cost extra, and you must arrange Peles tickets in advance.

“Our 3 castle tour from Brasov was exceptional with prompt pickup from our hotel. Our guide Claudiu answered questions between stops and after each castle tour. The transport was great and we were made to feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”

“It was a great tour. Mario is excellent. He explains nicely and patient to answer our questions and don’t rush. This tour itinerary is excellent and we have seen 2 castles , 1 palace and one monastery. Next day we booked a private tour with him to see Sighisoara and Visicri. This tour was excellent too. We will again use his services in future if we visit Brasov again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $81

Travel from your Brasov hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to Caraiman Monastery and the Sinaia area. Choose a route centered on Peles and Pelisor castles, or one that includes Cantacuzino Castle and, in suitable seasons, Cota 1400. Your driver-guide handles the transport; castle admission is extra.

“The main attraction (at least for me) on this private tour were our visits to Peles Castle, and to Pelesor, the smaller residence next to the castle. I loved both of these places. The technical features King Carol incorporated into the castle never cease to amaze me -- this is the second I've toured it. I had never been to Pelesor before, and while it's smaller and far less ornate, I found it to be a wonderful example of the way royals can choose to live comfortably and more modestly. We also stopped in Predeal to see a monastery and at the castle where the movie Wednesday was filmed --…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 8 hours · from $322

Explore Peleș Castle’s royal rooms, Sinaia Monastery’s Orthodox art, and Cantacuzino Castle’s gardens with an English-speaking guide. Hotel-lobby pickup, transport, entry fees, three Romanian wines, cheeses, and traditional treats are included. The eight-hour trip has no included lunch.

“Romantic Romania, you've left me quite smitten! The majestic Peleș Castle, snug in the bosom of the Carpathians, was an architectural feast for the eyes. Cantacuzino Castle, on the other hand, was the perfect surprise package with its quaint charm and elegance. But the real showstopper? The wine tasting at Cantacuzino, hands down. Sublime Romanian wines, a well-curated selection and that castle setting - simply unforgettable! For a chap like me who cherishes fine architecture, history, and a good drop of wine, this was a 5-star experience all the way. Truly, Romania, you're a hidden gem!”

11.Peles and Cantacuzino Castles Small Group Day Tour from Brasov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $81

Leave Brașov early for Peleș Castle, Sinaia Monastery, and Cantacuzino Castle in a group of no more than seven. Your English-speaking guide handles the route and adds context on Romania’s royal families. Plan ahead: castle tickets cost extra, Peleș tickets must be booked online for a set time, and the guide no longer enters the castle with you.

“We visited on a Sunday and there were crowds at the castle sites so we were glad to have Dan as our guide. He was most helpful in explaining the complexities of the royal families and indeed the shifting complexities of the nationalities in the Balkans”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 11 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $207

Leave Bucharest by private, air-conditioned car for Peles Castle, Cantacuzino Castle, and Bran Castle, with about 90 minutes at each. An English-speaking guide handles the day’s history and can help with ticket timing. Constantin has been praised for his flexibility, including helping arrange a drop-off in Brasov, but confirm any special plans in advance.

“We visit the three castles with Constantin who was very attentive, kind, always willing to help us in answering our questions etc. We had to buy the Peles tickets on line and he helped sending the oficial link and letting us know which time frame to buy. The rest of the tickets were bought on each castle. We asked him in advance if we could bring our luggage with us because we had reservations in Brasov, so after the tour, he drove us to our Airbnb.”
