Highly recommended walking tour - Vlad was prompt, friendly and hugely knowledgeable. The walking tour of the old city was a perfect introduction to our time in Brasov and gave us a real sense of the place and its history before our first day was even out. Highly recommended.

Brilliant tour of the main things to see in Brasov - This was a brilliant tour, exploring all the main points of Brasov in just one morning. Vlad was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable, especially about the best things to do in and around Brasov, throughout the year (he's a ski instructor too!). There is quite a bit of walking (about 10,000 steps in 3 hours), including a fair amount of walking uphill (mainly up to the black and white towers). Vlad had a great recommedation for an ice cream shop, we tried it later in our trip and it was lovely

A fun afternoon in a charming city with a great guide - This walking tour of Brasov was a great experience. Our guide, Alin, was both knowledgeable and a great storyteller. As a bonus, at the end of the tour he recommended a restaurant for dinner, one that we thoroughly enjoyed. Take this tour for a fun afternoon in Brasov!

Brasov Walking History - Our guide was Alin and was very knowledgeable about the history of Brasov and Romania as a whole. He answered all our questions and provided an extensive history while getting to see these sites in a unique perceptive. Growing up in the area allowed him to provide that unique experience.
