★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,919 reviews · from $23Our pick

Spend 12 hours exploring Transylvania with an English or Italian-speaking guide. Visit royal Peleș Castle, Dracula-linked Bran Castle, and Brașov’s Old Town.

“The day trip was perfect! The time spent on each stop was more than enough. The guide really gave his all to provide a nice experience. The only thing I could say that could be improved, is during pickup, you could have a sign or something to make it more clear which bus is which. There were many buses this morning and we had to check them one by one, to find ours. A more distinct sign could have been more helpful.”
