Great day with bears & amazing tour guide - Tour guide was absolutely amazing and kept us well informed. The bear sanctuary is definitely worth the visit, it was great to learn about bears and see them in the wild. Dracula castle was a little underwhelming, compare to a lot of other castles we've seen while travelling, so I would not rush to see it again.

Castle and Bears with a Great Guide - An excellent day trip out of Bucharest to Bran Castle and the Libearty Sanctuary. Alex was a great guide who got us around easily & smoothly, and messaged us the day before to make sure we were ready. Everything was taken care of and super easy. Great day - highly recommend!

Beautiful bears - An amazing privileged experience to see these beautiful bears close up. Broke my heart to hear the stories and I struggled to hold back the tears. We did adopt 2 for my grandchildren and bought a t. Shirt each. Well worth it for this grand cause.

Amazing trip with great guide - highly recommend. - I loved this trip. Communication in advance was great and I was prepared for the day. Alex is an amazing guide and has a lot of local knowledge happy to answer any questions you have. The castle and the bear sanctuary were incredible and just what I hoped for. The bear sanctuary stories can be quite upsetting but so important to hear, they clearly care for the animals. I would make sure that you have packed lunch with you and a coffee since it's an early start and there's not many stops between the two destinations due to the timings of tours and doing it all in one day.

If I was allowed to give even more stars I would - Absolutely a fantastic trip!!!! Alex was an amazing guide, excellent communication, great driver, and the whole trip was perfect. I’ve been wanting to visit these 2 sites in Romania for years and it did not disappoint. Between Alex and the trip as a whole definitely would highly recommend.

A good way to spend the day - Enjoyed a day trip from Bucharest to see the Bear sanctuary and the Bran Castle. The work of each person involved in saving the bears and then taking care of them is admirable. Although each story about individual bears is interesting, we were hoping to have a little more time to enjoy observing the bears. Bran Castle was much more than my expectations. Walking through it was like a maze and this entire experience was awesome!!
