Great trip to Libearty Bear Rescue and Bran Castle. August 2, 2026

Alin is a fantastic tour guide and host. We booked a bifurcated trip to Libearty bear rescue and Bran Castle in Transylvania. Alin picked us up at precisely the agreed upon time and was exceedingly polite and friendly. This man is very knowledgeable about all of the tours that he runs and will weigh in on additional details beyond what is covered on site once you reach your destination. Lastly, Alin is a very safe and sensible driver.

Ian_K, Jun 2026

Enjoyable day

Really enjoyable tour of the two major castles (Bran & Peles) with a visit to a third (Cantucuzino) as well. The guided tours of Bran & Peles are must-dos, but less so Cantucuzino though - many of us paid to do it as it was raining heavily at the time, but really you could save yourself the money and just spend the time in the gardens. We could have used a bit more time at both Bran and Peles - I appreciate the tour company want to show you as much as they can, while they need to allow for traffic between the various sites too, but both felt a little rushed. Shout out for tour guide Alin (Maya Tours) who did a great job both as driver and guide for our bus.

Excellent Walking Tour of Brașov!

We had the pleasure of exploring Brașov with Radu, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. From the very beginning, it was obvious that he truly loves his city and enjoys sharing its history and stories with visitors. We started in the beautiful Old Town and then ventured beyond the main tourist areas to learn how Brașov has grown and changed over the years. Radu was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and always happy to answer our many questions. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had a real understanding of the city instead of just seeing the sights. We absolutely fell in love with Brașov, and having Radu as our guide made the experience even more special. In fact, it left us wanting to come back and spend even more time here. If you're visiting Brașov, don't miss the chance to explore it (hopefully with Radu). Highly recommended!

Such a great tour! We...

Such a great tour! We visited 3 castles plus a momentary. Admission to the castles was not included but also it wasn’t super expensive to enter. The tour was small just 2 couples. Our tour guide was very informative and gave a lot of great history on Romania and the area. Definitely recommend!

Do it!

This was awesome! About a 45 minute drive to the spot where you get to sit in a little hut with one way windows and sit in beautiful nature and wait and watch for bears. We were lucky and saw about 5 that day. The guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much enthusiasm and love for these beautiful animals!

Pete_D, May 2026

A fantastic experience with a brilliant tour guide!

To anyone not sure whether they should spend the extra money on a private tour, I would say absolutely yes! Dinu, our guide was absolutely fantastic. We arrived to Brasov by train from Budapest and had to leave again for a very specific train to continue to Bucharest that night. He monitored our train's progress and was there to greet us at the station as we arrived and he made sure that we were back in time for our evening train too. At every step, he was happy to customise our tour to our liking including taking us to a couple of food spots to try out some traditional dishes. The tour has quite a bit of driving, but there was never an awkward moment between him telling us about the history of Romania and the castles, answering our questions and just sharing stories from our lives. He offered to take lots of pictures of us and patiently waited (and joined!) when we wanted to say hi to the local cats 😅 Dinu made sure that our tour was a memory that will last forever and we wish him all the best.

Efficient and enjoyable transylvania highlands tour

The tour was a great way to get a well-rounded overview of Transylvania’s top attractions in a single day. The organizer went above and beyond by offering hotel pickup instead of the standard meeting point, which was a very nice and convenient touch. Transportation was comfortable, with a well-maintained Ford Transit that made the journey pleasant. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and efficiently organized, allowing us to see a lot without feeling rushed. We also appreciated the assistance with securing tickets for the attractions, which made the experience smooth and hassle-free. The combination of the bear sanctuary, Râșnov Fortress, and Bran Castle provided a perfect mix of nature and history. Everything ran on time and felt professionally managed throughout the day. The only improvement I would suggest is allowing a bit more free time at Bran Castle to explore at a more relaxed pace.

Zoe_C, Apr 2026

Amazing Tour!

Had an absolutely amazing day with Tiberiu. He picked us up close to our accommodation and brought us to the amazing Peles Castle and gave us a tour inside. Then we headed to Bran Castle and did an independent exploration as external guides are not allowed within the castle to give tours. We had prebooked the entry tickets with the info they had provided so felt like a very smooth day. Lucky that it was fairly quiet around with Easter being on so not too crowded but really enjoyed the entire day, all the information provided and great chats!

FABIO_I, Apr 2026

A lovely scape into medieval Romania

We had a fantastic day exploring several beautiful medieval Saxon villages, and the whole experience was absolutely delightful. The weather was perfect, the scenery was stunning, and our guide, Charlie, made everything even better with his great sense of humor and his clear, engaging explanations. We had a wonderful traditional lunch in Viscri — the food was incredibly delicious — and the pace of the tour was relaxed and comfortable. With only two couples in the group, we had plenty of time to explore each place, enjoy the atmosphere, and even sit down for a coffee without any rush. It was a truly lovely day, and we left feeling enchanted by the region. We highly recommend this tour and our guide, Charlie.

Trip to Bran Castle with time for photography

Bianca is an excellent guide. She was on time, very polite and engaging. I was the only person in the tour and I am a photographer… So, she was able to take time to help me get some great photos and take extra time when needed. Extremely knowledgeable and we had great conversation about the historical past and current events. For me this was about immersive as a tour gets. Of course the locations were very beautiful. I would definitely hire this company again and ask for Bianca as my guide. Thank you
