What you'll see and do
Peles Castle
In the morning we head to Sinaia to visit the royal summer residence. Peles Castle was built at the end of 1800s at the foothills of Bucegi Mountains and remained one of the favorite summer residences of the Romanian Royal Family until their forced abdication in 1947. Amazingly preserved, the Castle offers a glimpse into the sparkling life of the Romanian Royal Family.

Cascada Urlatoarele
On the way back to Brasov, stop in the quaint small town of Busteni. From here follow the path for an easy hike to Urlatoarea Waterfall in Bucegi Mountains. With its pretty high fall, the waterfall deserves its name, Urlatoarea (meaning “the Screaming One”) and can be heard through the trees way before the eyes can see it. Our tips: easy 3 to 4 km trail, 100-200 m elevation height, total 1 to 2 hours hike on wide paths with no exposure or dangerous cliffs. This trip is suitable for families or any other groups of people that can walk slowly on various terrain for up to 2 hours. Bring with you light hiking shoes, clothes that suit the outside weather and a rain coat.

The best private tour we could ever ask for, in the Brasov area.
It was the best day in our entire trip to Romania. We spent a day with Ramona, a professional and friendly guide, touring the Peles castle, the Bucegi mountains, and additional unique spots in the area. All the way from the booking and planning, through the excellent pick-up and ride in a brand new van, and all the way to the itinerary and personal touch for our needs throughout the day - it was an excellent trip. I would certainly recommend Ramona and I would be happy to travel with her again in Romania. Professional, wise, experienced and smart.
Response from the operator: Fantastic review, we really appreciate it :)

An epic experience
It was amazing! I loved having Ramona as our tour guide. She was pleasant company, thoughtful and well prepared. She had the answers to any question we had and the way she presented the Peles Castle’s history was just completely fascinating.
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure for me to guide your family, thank you for the 5 stars review :)

+

+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brasov can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brasov and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

When is the best time to visit Brasov?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brasov?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
