4.Peleș Castle Tour with An Expert Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 36 reviews · 1 hour · from $64Best value

“The guide was like encyclopedia - she obviously knew all the facts but represented them on auto-pilot. We basically ran through the castle and barely had time to look around. We could have as well read the information from the boards in each room ourselves. 55 euros per person in this case feels complete waste of money.”

Choose the Peles option with Sinaia Monastery, or the Cantacuzino option with Cota 1400 and the Wednesday filming site. Florin is a particularly praised guide when available.

“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 --…”

“Peles castle is a gorgeous palace with a stunning alpine backdrop. Every hall is ornately furnished and decorated in various architectural/interior design schemes, most of which evoke other kingdoms abroad. There is much history to be appreciated in this place, and visitors will find themselves enraptured amongst crimson carpets and venetian columns. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. She expedited our entry into the castle and was regularly in contact with us, making the process seamless. Some warnings: i suggest you bring Ron if you do not book ahead of time. Atms are unreliable at best and the ticket office does not accept card it seems; though the…”

Both ladies were absolutely lovely and we had a lot of laughs along the way. First stop was Peles castle. The exterior was partially under renovation but you could imagine its beauty. Inside was very impressive - the wood work detail, stained glass windows, chandeliers, mirrors etc. made in Murano. It was filled with the original furniture pieces. Laura provided sufficient history that was not overwhelming.”
