Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle from Brasov

Julienne_L, Apr 2026

Great tour

Was a great experience. Our guide, Alin was very knowledgeable. Gave us so much information in regards to all the places we were visiting. Picked us up from our air bnb, which was a bonus. Only 2 other people were on the tour with us, which helped. Bear park was amazing. Bram castle was quite crowded as aisles are small but glad we have done it. Would highly recommend. If I could have, I would have given Alin 6 stars!

Highly recommend booking this tour!

We enjoyed this tour despite the rainy weather. Communication from the moment we booked was prompt and clear. Our tour guide Mario was very accommodating and picked us up from our hotel that was further from the meet up point. He was very knowledgeable and explained all the history of the places we were visiting while on route to the locations. Mario gave us tips ahead of time on which ticket time slots to purchase for Peles Castle to ensure we have it before the start of the trip. Highly recommend coming with this tour group to allow skipping of lines and a personal guide for the Peles castle tour. We heard people that tried to go solo and waited more than 2 hours at the queue. We had plenty time for all the locations we visited, and having Mario as a guide and driver made this multi-destination tour pleasant and easy! Totally recommend Mario and his company for your visit to Brasov!

Excellent tour with the best guide Traian

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with our tour guide Traian, who truly made the entire trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, setting the perfect tone for the journey ahead. What impressed me most was his deep understanding of the history, culture, and hidden gems of each location we visited. He told engaging stories that brought every place to life. It felt like we weren’t just sightseeing, but really connecting with the destination on a deeper level. His organization and professionalism were also exceptional. Everything ran smoothly and on time, yet never. On top of that, their enthusiasm was contagious. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion made the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it was recommending local food spots, sharing insider tips, or adding a bit of humor along the way, they consistently went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching travel experience. He turned a great trip into an extraordinary one.

Last month my friend and I took a private tour, and we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share more about Romania as we traveled between sites. The extra information he provided along the way made the journey even more engaging and helped us better appreciate the country’s rich history and culture. The destinations themselves were absolutely beautiful, each offering something unique and memorable. Overall, the tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Ask for Charlie!

What an AMAZING experience!! I have to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Communication on pick-up and time was fantastic. The best part? CHARLIE! What a RIOT. Charlie was an amazing guide, he had lots of stories to share and kept us in stitches. We walked 176 stairs to visit a church and grave site in Sighisoara - inside the basement of the church were tombs and during the story telling, there was a little surprise - I won't spoil the fun with the details but if you like to laugh - you'll love it! It was a great day - beautiful country side and I would highly recommend this tour! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charlie! We will always remember our day trip with you!

Great hiking!

Our original plan was to go to Fagaras mountains but due to the unexpected snowfall the road was closed and we needed to change our plans. Piatra Craiului offered a nice option to hike on a different type of mountain. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, the fog hided the mountains and we couldn’t do the whole trail. The lunch break at the hut was anyway really nice. And on the way back we hiked through a very impressive gorge! In spite of the weather circumstances our guide Ovidiu did his best and the hiking was a great experience! He was a reliable, nice and professional guide! Also the service from the tour operator in general was friendly and flexible, and they did their best to serve the customer.

What a wonderful day

The tour guide Simon is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going. They have a very good relationship with Peles Castle, get us right in front of the line, which is excellent, since many people behind us, we have the privilege to take a lot of photos without people blocking us. We are very thankful and highly recommended to choose them

An Absolutely Perfect Day Trip Experience

I just returned from an amazing Small-Group Day Trip in Romanian Authentic Mountain Villages from Brasov with an exceptional guide named Bogdan. He was not only highly professional and knowledgeable about Romanian history, but also an incredibly warm and pleasant person. What impressed me most was his extensive knowledge of the country's history and his deep familiarity with all the sites we visited. He brought every village and story to life, turning each stop into a fascinating experience. Bogdan's flexibility and patience were outstanding - he adapted perfectly to my pace, and I never felt rushed or pressured. The transitions between villages were comfortable and tailored to my needs, and he always prioritized my comfort above all else. Beyond his professionalism, his warm and friendly personality made the tour feel personal and special. I discovered that he's also a mountain climbing guide, rock climbing instructor, and paragliding guide - which made our conversations even more interesting as he shared captivating stories from his various adventures. Traveling with Bogdan was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering this day trip. He truly made this experience unforgettable!

Good intro to Romanian landscape

It’s a very short drive from Brasov, cute walk but definitely you can explore further in the park! May be strenuous for those unfit, but this of course applies to most physical activities, especially ones necessitating the range of motion for ladder climbing. No knee injuries :)
