      The guest can walk limited distance. Other than that, the guest would need a light weight, manual wheelchair

    • Active TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      Unfortunately we can not provide a wheelchair. And the tour involves a lot of walking.

      Eva

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      The light weight wheelchair is brought by the customer itself. I am sure it will fit into the van. The traveler just need to use it on an as needed basis. The tour is classified as a low intensity so it will be ok

      We are ready to book the tour, but my group is still planning. The tour specified that Nov 26,2025 is the deadline for 50% off. If we book for 2 or 4 people, the price is $1,383/pers, is that correct?

    Pam

    Asked on November 4th, 2025

    I am really interested in this tour. I know if I want to go the Halloween party at Bran Castle that will be extra. I noticed the party this year was on Saturday 1 November. Does this mean next year it will be on Saturday too - meaning 31 October. And if so could you secure the ticket or would it be up to me. Also would you be able to accommodate the fact I might not leave the party until 4am!

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Active TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      The Halloween Party will probably take place on October 31st next year, but please stay tuned to the official Bran Castle website for updates and online ticket sales. No problem at all if the party goes on until 4 a.m.! Just keep in mind that you'll probably miss the Sunday program. However, we can arrange a private transfer to Brașov for you at a cost of 60 euros.
