He was very informative, flexible, and clearly outlined the stops, where we were headed, and we never felt any pressure to hurry along. It was a great time and I would highly recommend this tour!!”

Meet in Brasov and spend the day visiting Libearty Bear Sanctuary, Bran Castle, and Rasnov Fortress. Your English-speaking guide, possibly Mimi, Bogdan, Bianca, Adriana, or Alex, handles the driving, local stories, parking, and timing. The bear sanctuary is the emotional center of the day, while Bran offers castle legends and Rasnov brings wide mountain views.

“I’m so glad I chose to do this tour. It was just me and the guide, Bogdan, and as a solo female traveller I felt comfortable the whole time. Bogdan is really friendly and informative - I learnt so much from him and he answered any and all questions I had. The Bear Sanctuary, Bran castle and Rasnov fortress were all great. As a big plus we were also able to skip the VERY long line at Bran Castle! Thanks for a fantastic day!”
