5-day private group tour from Bucharest — Peleș, Pelișor, Cantacuzino and Bran Castles, a night in Viscri, and medieval Sighișoara.
Price from 789 € / person
Private airport transfer to the group hotel in central Bucharest. Welcome briefing with the national tour guide, free evening to settle in — or join an optional short walk past the Palace of Parliament and the Old Town.
North through the Prahova Valley into the Carpathians. A full morning at Peleș Castle, the Neo-Renaissance summer residence of Romania’s royal family, followed by neighbouring Pelișor, Queen Marie’s Art Nouveau retreat. After lunch, continue to Cantacuzino Castle in Bușteni, then on to Bran for the night.
Morning guided visit of Bran Castle, the hilltop fortress popularly known as „Dracula’s Castle”. Drive south through rolling Transylvanian farmland to Viscri, a UNESCO World Heritage fortified Saxon village. Guided walk of the fortified church, dinner and overnight in a traditional village guesthouse.
A slow village morning in Viscri before driving on to Sighișoara, the best-preserved inhabited medieval citadel in Europe and birthplace of Vlad the Impaler. Guided walking tour of the Clock Tower, the covered wooden stairway and the Church on the Hill.
Free morning in Sighișoara, then a scenic drive back across the Carpathians to Bucharest. Direct transfer to the airport for onward flights.
Fixed costs — the coach, the national guide and the local guides — are shared across the group, so the per-person price falls as the group grows.
| Group size | 16 guests | 17 guests | 18 guests |

Based on 3–4★ hotels on twin/double share, standard-season rates, land package only. Castle entrance tickets are not included — budget roughly €100 per person for all castle and citadel entries. Final pricing is confirmed for your specific travel dates.
Five days is enough to comfortably cover Peleș, Pelișor, Cantacuzino, Bran, Viscri and Sighișoara without rushing. Add a sixth or seventh day for Corvin Castle or Sibiu.
Bran Castle is the site most commonly marketed as „Dracula’s Castle” for its Gothic silhouette, though Bram Stoker never visited it and Vlad the Impaler had only a loose connection to it. His actual stronghold was Poenari Fortress.
A national tour guide for the full trip, local guides at each site, four nights’ accommodation with breakfast, a private coach with driver, airport transfers and one souvenir per person. Entrance tickets, other meals, insurance and gratuities are additional.
May–June and September–October offer mild weather and thinner crowds. July–August is peak season, with the fullest daylight for the mountain drives; December brings a snow-dusted, festive version of the route.
