★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,589 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $35Our pick

Travel from Bucharest to Sinaia, Bran, and Brașov with Gray Line Romania. You’ll see Peleș Castle, hear the real story behind Dracula, and walk through Brașov’s old center. Castle tickets cost extra, and traffic can stretch this 14-hour outing well into the evening.

“They changed the pickup location and time the night before. I was at requires location but nobody picked me up. WhatsApp the “emergency number” but it appeared to be AI. After 42 minutes interaction with the AI, I gave up. Terrible experience, this was the only tour I have in Romania and I booked the entrance tickets myself.”

He shared fascinating history and information, not only about the sites we visited but also about the towns we passed along the way and the country as a whole. His knowledge and passion really brought the journey to life. Cristian was also very accommodating; when we needed a quick rest break, he adjusted without hesitation. He patiently answered all of our questions and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. Overall, it was a memorable trip filled with beautiful scenery, rich history, and great company.

We were both impressed by his command of the English language and his comprehension. Everything about this tour was perfect from Sergiu’s knowledge, the impressive castles, fortified cities we saw to the town/hotel in which we overnighted. This is most definitely one of the two best tours we have ever taken and Sergiu is in the top 5% of guides we have ever used and we are frequent travelers. We whole heartedly recommend Sergiu, this company and this tour.”

“There were 2 couples traveling together on this tour. It was a Thursday/Friday tour. TravelMaker was the tour operator. Our guide, Boogie, was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He was knowledgeable, outgoing, humorous and very organized. Since we had all cruised multiple times, we enjoyed his stories about his years working on Princess cruise ships. Our driver, Peter, was quite good. He knew many alternate routes to avoid the many long traffic delays. The first day went well. We were picked up at our hotel at 8:00 a.m. Despite traffic delays, the overall day’s timing was good. At Peles Castle, Boogie was able to get…”

“Went to some very interesting sites. Long days in vehicle and standing in queues to use restrooms and get into the Venues (Peles & Bran castle). Tour guide could have offered more information in regards to sites that were passed in the bus. Only commented on sites when we arrived at them. Disappointed we were not taken to Curtea de Argeş and no explanation given. Our tour was done in reverse as it left on a Sunday so possibly this is the reason but on the last day we were back in Bucharest by 2pm with 5 hours drive time and only one 25 min stop at Bierten, Brasov and…”
