Top Brasov Day Trips

Very good tour. Our driver/guide, Valentin, was very knowledgeable and gave us the history of Romania. He walked with us at each town and explained everything we were seeing. We really enjoyed this tour and learned so much. Just beware it is a long drive between towns and there is walking on cobblestones and up hill, plus some steps. Much of the drive is on back country roads. During our drive, he showed videos of the history of Romania. This tour was private and takes about 9 hours.

The tour was okay, the information they gave us was interesting. Sighisoara is a very touristy city and we didn't like that very much; there were so many people. The optional attractions like going up the tower or entering the blue house seemed expensive to us for what they offer...

It is a great way to get to see two of Brasov's castles and a beautiful calm monastery. The castles are so different. Our guide Florine was so well informed and adjusted the day to suit road and weather conditions. Brad Castle- of Dracula fame, is really intriguing with its winding staircases and spooky nooks and crannies. Peles Castle is wonderfully elegant with so many stunning wooden carved doors, walls, ceilings and figures. An excellent day out

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!

The tour does not include entrance tickets & we were concerned that Libearty bear sanctuary tickets could sell out, however as soon as we booked we had a WhatsApp from the operator advising us to immediately book tickets for a specific time slot for Libearty. The guide picked us up on time at the arranged location, and was friendly and informative throughout the trip. The bear sanctuary was amazing, the in house guide told us the stories of the bears and we were lucky enough to see them being fed. We saw around 30 bears. We then carried on to Bran (Dracula's!) castle where our guide helped us purchase tickets and arranged a meeting point. He gave us information about the castle before we went in. Be aware there are a lot of steps in the castle and staircases were steep and narrow. We spent around an hour and a half in the castle before meeting our guide to go to Rasnov Fortress. Our guide took us to the fortress, helped us with funicular tickets, and accompanied us the the fortress entrance. Although the actual fortress is closed for repairs ( which we were aware of) we had great views from the inner courtyard. Our guide then drove us back to Brasov, arriving at 3.30pm. We would definitely recommend this tour - it made visiting the sanctuary and castle so much easier than by Uber or public transport.

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!

A nice excursion from Brasov in a minivan to Peles Castle, Rasnov Fortress and Bran Castle. We were picked up in the morning on time at the hotel in Braşov by ‘Mimi’ in their clean Mercedes minivan. Apart from us, only one other guest had booked the tour. So it was actually a private tour. During the trip to Peles Castle, Mimi told us stories from the region to make the journey time interesting for us. After about 45 minutes we arrived at Peles Castle. This was followed by a short tour of the outdoor facilities (the castle is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but we knew this) before continuing to the nearby Sinaia Monastery. After the tour we continued to Râşnov (Rosenau) and the fortress of the same name. This is currently under renovation, which is why we could only visit the outdoor areas. But even that was very impressive. Afterwards we made our way to Bran Castle. Once in Bran we had enough time for a lunch break and to browse the numerous stores. This was followed by an interesting tour of the castle. After we had finished, taken all our photos and organized a coffee for the return trip, we strolled back to the car. We were even dropped off right in front of the train station in Braşov after consultation, so we didn’t have to worry about it anymore. Mimi has given a very great knowledge of the history and at each station very interesting lectures. On our next visit we will get back to her. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Cantacuzino Castle is truly spectacular, perfect for children and all fans of the movie Wednesday of Addams. We followed the tour in Romanian, but thanks to the audio in Italian we didn’t miss anything. Inside there is so much to see, especially since many rooms and corners were used for the filming. The funniest part is the outdoor park, there are billboards with some iconic scenes from the film and two swings designed to take Wednesday-style photos of Addams, perfect for creating fun and original memories. An experience really recommended for young and old!
