Sharon – United Kingdom

I travelled with my partner, mum (who is a pensioner) and my daughter (who has Down's Syndrome) for context. Communication with the tour company was great, they Whatsapped us the meeting details, a link on Google maps and answered any questions we had. Sonia, the tour guide was great with us, very understanding and helpful. Peles Castle My daughter has walking difficulties, and she's not in a wheelchair. There are stairs involved, both up and down. Most have bannisters. There's not a huge amount but more so on the way down. There's a lot of flat surfaces, lots of rooms to look in. It's quite a large castle. Free for carer and disabled person. Bran Castle. Free for carer and disabled person. You do have to prove with documents. (My daughter has downs syndrome, which you can clearly see and they still wanted proof) The access card worked for us from the UK. There is a lift, which they don't tell you about. For those that can walk, there are a lot of steep winding stairs. I recommend

Everything was amazing. Iulia is a wonderful guide. She told us about everything from Bucharest till Braşov and Peles Castle. The bus was comfortable and the driver was nice. It’s was raining a lot but still nice. I highly recommend. We went to Bran Castle and the queue was huge. It’s a good experience but if you doesn’t want to go inside outside the castle is also beautiful. Braşov is a pretty city with lots of history. We love it!

Everything was fine. Peles Castle limited the numbers of visitors. We didn’t buy tickets in time. However, we enjoyed the park and Palisor Castle instead. Our guide Vlad took good care of us and provided options and tips along the trip. Brasov hosted a marathon game. We cheered with the crowds for the athletes. A beautiful medieval city indeed. I hope I had more time there.
