Most people who have left reviews seem to be reviewing Bran Castle itself but they should be reviewing this “skip the line” service that costs 3 times the regular admission cost. THESE TICKETS ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% A TOTAL SCAM! I visited the castle on Halloween 2022 so it was very busy however this “skip the line” ticket only saved me standing in a 10-15 minute line to buy tickets. There are two separate lines at Bran Castle - the first line is to purchase tickets and then a second much longer line to enter the castle. These extremely overpriced tickets only skip the first line to purchase tickets which is much shorter than the line to actually enter the castle. When I say the line to purchase tickets is much shorter I mean 20%-25% of the length of the line to actually enter the castle, which again YOU DON’T GET TO SKIP. The description is intentionally deceptive. Any person reading the description would think these tickets allow you to skip all the lines. The description says, “Make your own way to Bran Village and get escorted straight inside ‘Dracula’s Castle’ by a guide, who will give you a brief orientation and an audio guide, if available.” You don’t go straight inside, there are no guides to escort you, and you receive no orientation or audio guide (“if available” likely means never available). All of that from the description is 100% lies. The truth is you have to find their small off-site office which is devoid of any furnishings other than a single desk with little instructions to do so, you are handed printed tickets, and sent on your way. Also don’t even think about asking for help from any of the Bran Castle staff because they don’t care and don’t know anything about this 3rd party company Transylvanian Wonders. You receive a voucher via text from Viator but this voucher is absolutely useless. You must claim your tickets from the company Transylvanian Wonders at their office outside of the Bran Castle property and market at the base of the hill in the town of Bran. The voucher you receive through Viator WILL NOT GET YOU INTO THE CASTLE and Transylvanian Wonders won’t even look at it when you pick up your actual entry tickets. The staff of Transylvanian Wonders joked when I complained stating that I was lucky because many people get all the way to the castle door before realizing the voucher won’t get them in. Then they have to locate the Transylvanian Wonders office (probably 1/2 mile from the castle door which is all uphill) and stand in the entry line again before actually getting in the castle. So it is very likely that in the end purchasing these tickets will cost you far more time than it saves. So in conclusion if you feel like paying 3 times the admission cost, likely wasting more time than you save in the end, to have a 3rd party vendor print you a paper ticket then this ticket is just for you. Otherwise avoid this “skip the line” service and fraud at all costs. On the bright side everything is so cheap in Romania this scam only cost me $20 USD (2 Adults) but it caused us a ton of frustration. In hindsight I would have rather burned a $20 bill and just bought the tickets directly from Bran Castle.
