Great experience! - We are always looking for dynamic tours that combine the city with nature. The tour began with a light hike of about 3 hours in the Tampa nature reservation, which is located right next to the old city of Brasov. We enjoyed the fresh air and the landscapes from the top where you could admire all of Brasov. The ascent and descent were made on less walked paths (there are several access paths to the top), so we could enjoy the peace and we avoided the crowded parts. Ramona, our guide, was very friendly and entertaining, she told us many beautiful things about Brasov and Romania. In the second part of the day we visited the old city of Brasov and listened to the history of the places while we were on the move. We really liked the place where Ramona recommended us to eat ice cream (ask her, it's worth it) and the flexibility offered by the tour, you can chose to visit different attractions depending of what you like, or just go with her recommendation. Thank you very much and we will definitely be back for another experience!

What an amazing Day - This was our first trip to Romania, as we wanted to try out something new. We knew we needed a professional local guide, and finally chose Day Trips Brasov, as they seemed very helpful and had answered all our questions patiently. The journey was exactly as expected, with lots of time to enjoy the views and landscapes. We're actually very happy we weren't rushed from one place to another. We came back more relaxed and happy and are definitely thinking of coming back and trying some of the other trips as well
