Great combo tour from brasov! - We really enjoyed this tour, the bear sanctuary and bran castle we're both great, we had a lovely stroll around bran afterwards and then headed to the ski resort to admire some stunning views, our guide Ramona was fantastic, telling us all about the history of Romania and showing us some lovely sights whilst driving through some beautiful towns, I would definitely recommend this tour.

Brasov Day Trips - My wife and I feel very fortunate to have chosen Ramona's company for the two day-tours that we made during our visit to Brasov (the other was to Sighisoara and Viscri). Ramona provides an unhurried touring experience, and shares much information not only about the places visited, but also about Romanian history, culture and food. She is very personable, and it is like touring with a friend. She is also a very good driver which is important on the busy roads in the region. We have done several private tours over the years in various countries, but these tours would be hard to beat.

Ramona the best guide - The bear sanctuary was closed and Ramona gave us a very nice alternative. Her knowledge about the country and the region was very broad and her stories very interesting. Everything was amazing.

My favourite part was the bear sanctuary and I recommend all to visit ! Thank you again Ramona and we will be back for another tour with you for sure !

Super - We had a wonderful day at Libearty Bear Sanctuary, Bran Castle and Poiana Brasov. It was really amazing to discover this attractions through professional eyes. The bear sanctuary was such a special place. The bears all have their own story and some of the rescue stories are very moving. Bran Castle was fantastic and because it was during the week day was no line and we could walk inside almost on our own. The way to Poiana Brasov was on a beautiful road and we really enjoy the nature and the fresh air. Full of fun facts and interesting stories, this was one of the best tours we have done and we highly recommend this tour company.

Great Experience! - I took a private day tour with my wife and child to the Bear Santuary, Bran (Dracula) castle and Poiana Brasov and everything was wonderful. Very fast and responsive in the organization prior to the tour, even with details as a child seat. Very comfortable car, on time for pick up directly on our hotel. Along the tour everything went perfect and adjusted to our pace with the kid. Wonderful meal in Poiana Brasov in a restaurant suggested by Ramona. Thanks and we will be back!

Impressive day with bears, Bran Castle and delicious Romanian cuisine - We spent the day very privately with Radu. In the morning we were picked up by him and then drove to Libearty Bear Sanctuary. Thanks to the fond memory of Ramona about a week earlier, we had already bought the tickets for 9 a.m. Which was also good as there are only about 40 tickets for the timeslot and we actually reached this group size. The tour was led by a guide from the Sanctuary and Radu has always given us additional information. In addition, he also asked questions for us because the stories of the guide were partly incomprehensible (partly also due to the group size). Since the group was very large and the guests were sometimes noisy, we often did not understand the guide. We would have liked the group size to be smaller up to about 12 people to just understand more and certainly this would also be more pleasant for the bears and also the guide. We are aware that Radu and Ramona have no influence on it now, but we still wanted to note this here. We continued to Bran Castle. Since we travelled during the holiday season, there was clearly more crowds of people. Again, Ramona had lovingly asked us to buy the tickets online beforehand. This allowed us to queue directly to the castle and not have to go back in line for ticket sales. Together we also got in line. Radu has suggested to us that while he stops in line, we can look at the garden of Bran Castle. We gladly accepted this thankfully and were able to explore the garden a bit. Radu said that we had actually made rapid progress. From our point of view, that wasn't quite so. However, we also have no comparison. The castle was very crowded and we had to focus on the stories of Radu. Radu has always involved each of us and provided us with information. The next day's programme should be a visit to a nearby ski resort. However, as we were less interested in this, we wanted to dive more into the culinary arts. Our wish was to go to typical Romanian food. Radu took us to a beautiful restaurant in the mountains. Not only the food was wonderful, but also the view. Radu, thank you for taking us there and eating with us. That was exactly what we wanted!:)
