A two-day tour through the majestic landscapes of the Carpathians looking for the truth behind Romania's most famous legend - Dracula.

The tour gives us the opportunity to explore the heritage of the former Romanian royal family of the Hohenzollern Sigmarinen as we visit the royal castle of Peles located high up in picturesque mountains of Transylvania. Spend the afternoon in the beautiful medieval city of Brasov. Walk the narrow medieval streets of the historical centre, admire the famous "Black Church", and take time to observe the busy city life in the old Council Square. The next morning we get ready to visit the renowned Dracula Castle and investigate the legend that put Transylvania on the world map. Visit the royal suppliers of sparkling wine, taste the wine and have lunch in the presence of royalty before heading for the burial site of Vlad the Impaler in Snagov.
