In Romanian called Coliva the funeral cake usually is served at funerals and commemoration of deceased loved ones. It goes well with a good coffee or tea. Nearby the castle entrance a small souvenir market is located, our favorite stall is selling traditional masks and handcrafted objects and textiles. Please ask your guide to point it out to you! Our guests have the option to decide to have a proper sit-down meal or something quick on the move. The same market has food stalls, one of the most popular ones sells Romanian Hot Dogs (local sausage sandwiches) and Hanul Bran restaurant offers a large choice of tasty Romanian cuisine.

        The Active Travel Agency, Mr Marian's tourist office in Brasov, is a very serious and pleasent way of travelling in the Transilvania region in Rumenia. My guide was Charlie, a very professional and well educated person who took me through this wonderful area of this part of Europe. Highly recommended!

        Tour was worth it and expect the unexpected from the sights
        I had a great tour experience with Dan, the tour guide leading the way to all the sites in the itinerary. He serenaded the car with his love for jazz music, and also explained the history and answered questions about the places we visited.

        A Tranquil Tour
        The tour to Viscri Church, Sighisoara Town, and Rupea Fortress is engaging, with the guide providing clear and informative insights into the history and culture of the area. Visiting during the low season allowed us to enjoy a peaceful experience without crowds.

        Excellent tour, real insights - not “touristy”.
        Great communication prior to the tour and since I was solo that day, Charlie (my guide), picked me up at my Airbnb. His car was clean and comfortable and we had great conversation on our way to the various sites. As we discussed what I had seen and done on previous days, he was able to tie together how the whole history and places connected. We enjoyed a lunch in Sighisoara and dessert in Viscri. I learned so much and was an absolutely wonderful day!

        Great way to spend a day in Transylvania!
        Hello We are a couple visiting Romania from Chicago. We had a fantastic tour with Dan to Bran, Prejmer and Harman. Prejmer and Harman are fortified churches which are truly amazing. More interesting and authentic than castles. We highly recommend this tour!

        A taste of the countryside!
        We enjoyed Mihai’s expertise and company! We took a short trip to Bran’s castle and then headed to a village. It was wonderful getting to take a long walk in the countryside and later enjoying a local meal and hospitality. Great experience overall with Mihail giving us a brief history of Romania.

        Our Transilvania Experience
        We had a great tour experience today with Mihai! He taught us a lot about Romanian history (he was VERY knowledgeable!) and he was also very kind and made us feel comfortable. We had the opportunity to go to Sighișoara, Viscri, and Rupea today and it was so beautiful. Transilvania is wonderful! We hope to come back to Transilvania very soon. If you want a knowledgeable, respectful tour guide, Mihai is your guy!

        Very helpful to have a guide on this visit
        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

        The Best Tour Day EVER
        This was one of our most memorable tour days ever, because of the expertise of Tiberiu Simon, our guide. He was well-versed in all topics and sites and history, an armchair philosopher who believes education to be the key to insure that history does not repeat itself. My husband and I WERE the only ones in our small group and we spent over ten hours visiting Sighisoara, Vistri, and the Rupea Fortress. Tiberiu placed us in photo perfect positions, took us to an interesting farm to table restaurant in a restored barn for lunch. We couldn't have asked for a better day and highly recommend others to try this experience.

        The best tour we did in Brasov!
        This was the best trip we did during our time in Brasov. Our guide, Charlie, was exceptionally knowledgeable, made us feel very welcome, and was considerate of our needs through the day. The route we took was idyllic, and all the elements came together to form a really great day. Would wholeheartedly recommend - a real bargain!

        A wonderful day trip to see beautiful forest, villages, fortifications with a knowledge guide, Mihai.
        It’s a beautiful day to visit these villages. Mihai explained well about the history and background of these sites. He was flexible, patient, and knowledgeable to discuss the history and culture.

      We were fortunate to have T.B. as our driver and tour guide for the day, and the experience exceeded our expectations. T.B. was not only extremely knowledgeable about the local history but also highly professional in every aspect of the tour.

      From the outset, the communication from both T.B. and Active Travel was excellent. They were very organised, confirming the agreed-upon pick-up and drop-off points well in advance. At the end of the day, they actively sought feedback, which demonstrated their commitment to providing a top-notch experience.

      If you’re planning a visit to Brașov, I wholeheartedly recommend Active Travel. Trust them to show you around this beautiful country of Romania—you won’t be disappointed!

      I took the small group day tour to Bran Castle, Peles Castle and Rasnov Fortress from Brasov with Adventure-tours.ro
      I choose the group tour for the opportunity to meet other travelers but they also had private tours available. There were 5 passages in a large minivan with 8 seats. I am 2 meters tall and fit very comfortably.
      My guide was Charlie, a very personable, easy going guide. I was a tour guide for 12 years in California, and was impressed. We never felt rushed and always had time for a coffee or WC break. I could tell there were different ways of opperating the trip, he would ask us if anyone was sensitive to curvy roads, we were not so we took more scenic roads in the mountains, avoiding town traffic, gaving us the opportunity to look for bears and wildlife along the way.
      One of the best parts is skipping the ticket lines. Our driver was licenced to guide in all the locations, so we walked past the long ticket lines right to the entry and our driver personally guided us at each location. This saved a lot of time. He also knew some good photo locations and angles.
      Charlie also picked a nice restaurant for lunch with a direct view of Bran Castle. He suggested local dishes and deserts. The restaurant's owner sent us all a complimentary local liqueur which was interesting to try.
      My booking was very last minute, contacting themp the evening before after problems with another private company in Brasov that tried to raise the price 3 times after booking. Glad I found a more honest company that I had a great day trip with. I contacted them directly, so they were able to take me short notice.
      Thank you for the tour!

      Hi!

      It was a fun and interesting experience, just like my other tours with this company in prior years, so I keep coming back!

      Tiberius was professional, kind, knowledgeable and a careful and attentive driver. He made an effort to make the tour interesting to a diverse group, from me with my strong interest in Romanian history to the nice, young parents with just general curiosity, to the two young children. We traveled in a clean, comfortable VW minivan.

      Tiberius did a good job steering us around the crowds of tourists at both castles, and avoiding the insane traffic on the Bucharest road. He checked frequently to see if anyone was hungry, needed the bathroom, or wanted coffee -- which, as a coffee addict, I particularly appreciated. He recommended a nice place for an optional lunch stop, and it was reasonably priced with good food and good service.

      I was delighted to spend the day at two castles and a quick survey of Rasnov and of course I would gladly return to Peles and Rasnov... for a third time. Bran Castle has, sadly, become overrun with tourists so if you go, I recommend a weekday. Tiberius is skilled at getting you through the swarms of tourists and wont lose you, but it is absolutely jammed inside Bran at some places.

      Don't miss Peles and please choose the additional upstairs visit to the royal apartments. It is much, much less crowded than below, and more interesting, in particular the opportunity to see Queen Maria's beautiful crown that I have long admired and had no idea has just arrived at Peleş! Tiberius is conversant with all the relevant history and is very informative on the life, goals and personality of King Carol I.

      Although the interior of Rasnov Fortress is under renovation, Tiberius was able to make a quick circuit of the fortifications worth the stop. He can describe siege warfare znd Saxon social organization knowledgeable.

      His English is flawless anc colloquial.

      TLDR; I would recommend not to choose this trip.

      Trip is advertise as Bran Castel and Rasnov Fortress, with optional Peles Castle. Guess what? Rasnov Fortress is currently closed. We only get uphill and see it from outside :/ Oh and we have to pay just to get there: 30 lei for gondola/cart. That was not advertise in the trip description. For main attraction, Bran Castle we arrive in the afternoon, so the busiest time of the day. It was overcrowded and really hard to even hear our guide. After visiting the castle we asked about lunch break, and we heard that restaurant will take too much time, so we just grab some fast food from local stand and tried to find a table, but there was not enough space, so some of us have to eat standing in the sun with plate in their hands. We also lost about 40 min after Peles Castle for toailet break. It was weird because all part members were ready after 10-15 mins so we just sit there for no reason. Although there was an information about entry fees being excluded, I am finding it weird, because each attraction was 30-70 lei, which bump up the price for around 28$ per person. Over 102$ for this tour seems like turist trap for me. One more thing about the price: if you book solo as first person, you will see price double as they want you to cover cost of the trip. When I switch to 2 people, price increase only by 12$. That is REALLY confusing and my make some of us to rethink buying the ticket. I was told that if you buy for this double price, and more people will join, you will get a refund, to much regular price. Now few words about our Guide. Tiberiu speak good english, and only few times we have problem understanding each other. He seems knowledgable, but he did some mistakes describing weapons. Then again I am not expecting this type of detailed knowledge. I only wish we had a little better plan, and arrive to Bran Castle first to avoid the crowds. I think I would enjoy this trip if not for such a massive price, lunch in actual restaurant where we could escape from heat for a minute, and if we could actually enter last attraction. I hope this review will help some fellow travellers to decide if this trip is worth their money. Cheers!

      We can understand your frustration but it is not our fault that when you booked the tour, you did not read, at all, about what it is included and not included and about the info that Rasnov Fortress in closed for renovations (as proven to you with the print screen provided on your request). What we can not accept is for you to spread false information. For example this tour HAS NO solo traveler rate - as 1 person (and you were 2) - you pay the same rate as for 2 or more people - 68 euro/person. Anyhow, you were right, it was very hot and crowded (due to weekend time) and this probably affected your experience. Have a good day!

      Charlie, our guide, picked us up in Brasov and whisked us off for a tour of these beautiful castles. Our first stop was Peles, which is like something out of a fairy tale. The architecture and interiors were simply stunning and the 'mod cons' that had been built into the building were way ahead of their time. We arrived reasonably early and we missed a lot of the crowds which was a plus.
      After our tour here we went on to Bran Castle, aka the home of Count Dracula. This was one my bucket list and it did not disappoint. Without spoilers....expect the interior to be a surprise.
      For lunch in a local restaurant, we were advised by Charlie on the best and most authentic Romanian dishes, which we tried and were not disappointed. There's a good choice of food, and they also served excellent English tea here!
      Onwards to the Rasnov Fortress, which we accessed via a funicular railway. At the top, you can buy ice creams and souvenirs and have a go on some weaponry used to defend the structure over time.
      Throughout the day, Charlie told us all about the history of the area, the castles and the legends associated with them. It was a small group, so we were able to indulge in ice-creams and add extra bits of the tours if we wanted to.
      I'd recommend both the tour and the company.

      I booked this on the Friday for Saturday so it was a last minute decision and I’m so glad I did. Dan was the perfect guide. He was very considerate to our whole group, nothing was any trouble and he was very knowledgeable so it was a fantastic day out.

      The benefits of doing this trip rather than going on your own are:
      * Cost…great value and much cheaper if you tried to get there any other way.
      * The craic and chat when travelling to the sites and Dan pointed out many interesting facts.
      * Queue jumping as the guide is known at the sites so just goes right to the front.
      * The knowledge is second to none and having the experience at each location (we did Pele’s too) was great. Many times I could see independent travellers listening to our guide as he was very informed.
      * Hacks for best places to park, eat, toilets etc.

      All in all, we had a fun day and I learnt a lot. Thank you, Dan.

      We had a tour from Tiberiu, who was fantastic! He arrived on time and assisted us with the entrance fees for Bran castle before we got there, which made the difference when we got there.
      He was polite, knowledgeable and passionate about the history, we were only a group of four and he ensured that we were comfortable and was really funny which made the whole tour very interesting.
      We then moved onto the Rasnov fortress again, really interesting, and he made the whole trip easy.
      We really enjoyed our tour and would definitely recommend friends & family visiting this area. Thank you for a lovely day!

      We were contacted the day before the trip with all the details we would need of our guide (Charlie), the vehicle type colour, registration number, pick up point and time, etc.
      Charlie was on time, and his vehicle was immaculately clean. The drive to the castles was filled with Charlie explaining about things on the landscape. He was extremely knowledgeable and delivered this mixed with suitable humour.
      Charlie was our guide for the castles and fortress, able to answer all questions and delivering the details in an interesting and understandable manner.
      I would highly recommend this tour and encourage you to definitely do Peles Castle, too.

      It was an amazing day! The drivers and vehicles arrived on time and were quickly able to fix a misunderstanding on a booking (thanks Charlie and Dan!). The vehicles were comfortable and clean. Our guide, Dan, was just great. His knowledge of history, of the places we visited and saw along the way, was extensive and interesting. He could answer any question and told us a lot about Romanian life and recent history as well. He went out of his way to make sure we had coffee, toilet stops and tastes of some traditional pastries. The scenery was spectacular. Everything was well organised and on time. We would do this again, and additional tours as well, if we every come back to this gorgeous part of the world!
