Leave Bucharest at 7:00 am for Bran Castle, linked with Dracula, and Peles Castle, the former royal palace. Your English-speaking driver-guide, including guide Ionut when assigned, handles the driving, commentary, and hotel pickup and drop-off. Expect 8 to 10 hours, paid food, and a possible question about entrance fees, which are described inconsistently.

“With Ionut, one of the best experience, he knows how to move into the country and surely knows what's the best way to do it. The castels are really beautiful and everything was great. Don't believe who said that the only things to see are the castles, this country has more than you think. Let him advice something, because only few tours are show into the site, lot of them are only through the agency. Ionut could be the best tour guide for you, every moment you could ask something and knows a really good English. But the really important things is that he does it with pleasure.”
