You will begin with a tour of Pele's Castle, a summer residence belonging to the royal family of Romania which was built in the 19th century by Carol the First, the first king of Romania. It is the most beautiful castle in Romania, and one of the greatest in Europe. Next up you will visit Cantacuzino Castle , built by Prince Grigore Gheorghe Cantacuzino, between 1906-1911, in the neo-Romanian architectural style.

Our guide was amazing and so was the tour! He was on time and in the location that was communicated to me. I received a message verifying the location with a pin drop which was extremely helpful. Communication prior to the trip was excellent. He picked up our small group and immediately shared knowledge and history of everything we passed on the way to the castles. He had us in all the castles immediately, regardless of the line. It was a good pace. I didn’t feel rushed. He knew everything about every location. He was professional but funny and friendly which made his historical knowledge interesting and the drive comfortable. The vehicle was clean and brand new like. He made recommendations for food when we stopped for lunch. And I specifically wanted to try a local food and he showed me where to find it. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!!
