Tour highlights:
The Peles Castle
The castle, one of the elite monuments in Europe and in the world, spreads over 3200 square meters with 160 rooms that impress through their beauty and elegance, each of them reflecting a different European country. The most famous one is the Great Armory Room, hosting 4000 exhibits collected or received as a gift from all around the world. The representative style is German Renaissance, but you will also find elements belonging to the Italian Renaissance, Gothic, Baroque and French Rococo style.
The Bran Castle
The castle, set on a 60 meters cliff, guarding the road to Transylvania, was built in the 13th century. The castle is known to be the home of Bram Stockers character, Count Dracula, a relentless inspiration for Hollywood. The construction amazes with its picturesque courtyard, the towers with a whitewashed color and the rooms containing exquisite collections of beautifully carved furniture, painted icons, statues, ceramics, and silverware.
The Black Church
The history of this landmark is quite turbulent: the first church built on this site was ravaged by the Mongol invaders in 1242. Afterwards, it was rebuilt between 1385 and 1477, in order to face another disaster in the 17th century. The Great fire destroyed the city and along with it, the church. The restoration took almost 100 years and since then, the sanctuary was given its current name because it walls turned black after the calamity. The church host a 4000 pipe organ and 119 Anatolian carpets.

Lovely castle situated near Brasov. Lots of history and grounds. Just a warning it's very small inside, so if you're tall you will duck alot. The grounds a lovely and have some amazing views. Brasov is lovely and has excellent food and drink.

Bogdan was an excellent tour guide that provided me with a great photographic experience enhanced by his knowledge of the history of Romania that brought the tour alive. I had limited time to explore while in Bucharest on business and this tour was perfect for what I needed. I would highly recommend Bogdan for anyone wanting not only a tour guide but also an excellent photographer that will maximize your enjoyment.

A great day visiting Peles, Bren and Brasov. Alexandra was a very knowledgeable guide and we leant a lot. Weekend was very busy at both castles, even in November, so if you have the chance to go during the week, do.
