We went 29/8/25. It was a lovely day, its a long day on a Bus tbh. If you do go make sure you know Pels Castle is closed Mon & Tuesdays. Brans Castle was great really liked that along with Brasov being the best part for us. Very lovely place there trying there food and checking the sites. Pels Castle is nice but not as good as the pics from the outside, it rained when we went and it was closed so that was a downside for us. The trip back on the bus from there to the city felt very long but for the price it was great. Things to know - Its 10 euro per person if u want to go around with the guide and its cash. Also if you want to go in the castles you need to book online on your phone not turn up on the day with cash to get in. All in all 4/5 starts from us
