Transylvania trip - the incredible experience at the bear sanctuary. The Bran Dog was wonderful and the Râșnov Citadel on the hill offered us a wonderful view of the city and the mountains from Brașov. Thanks to our guide Catalin for help and information

Amazing experience in one day - The Bear Sanctuary was so moving , so glad those poor souls have a happy time now It was amazing to see what the Sanctuary had done to help the beats and to get so close to them was great The guide there was so informative Bran Castle was so interesting, done go in high season as the crowds would spoil the experience we booked our tickets before leaving the UK and wandered around at our own pace . The Fortess was closed due to work being done but you could walk around the outside Our guide was full of local knowledge and so helpful

A good tour to see the sites of Transylvania - The bear sanctuary was the highlight. I would not recommend this to anyone who has mobility issues due to the hilly terrain and gravel paths. We were lucky to visit Bran Castle on a relatively quiet day. I can imagine that the queues can get very long at busy periods. Our guide Valentin was very pleasant and provided useful information at each stop. Well worth the money.

Brasov tour - We really enjoyed this tour. Catalin our driver/guide had great knowledge of the history in the area. The bear sanctuary was amazing then followed by Bran castle and Râşnov fortress. The fortress was being restored but we still got to go the top where there were amazing views of the town and surrounding area. Highly recommend if you are based in Braşov.

Great Time and a New Family Member - I loved this mini adventure. The fact that it took place in a heavy snowstorm made it even more fun and beautiful. I loved the bear sanctuary despite the fact that we couldn't do the full walking loop due to the weather. I even "adopted a bear! Please say hi to Ursa for me if you see him!

Amazing 5 star trip - A star 🌟++++** trip from start to finish . The perfect guide (I am sorry, I cannot remember the name ) We booked the trip and Trip Advisor app could not pick up our hotel in Predeal. Reception told us to put the hotel up the road . We contacted the guide for this trip and he said the trip ran from Brasov , but he would pick us up from our hotel at an earlier time free of charge . How perfect was that . The amazing guide took us to the top of Brasov (viewing point ) after sunrise and pointed out various landmarks along the way . Then along to a little coffee shop (all not part of the trip) This trip is so amazing . The bear sanctuary , Bran Castle and the fortress all in one day with time to get a bit to eat and drink , The tour guide was out of this world . Thankyou for making our trip to Romania very memorable .
