Just do it !!! Great experience ! - Such a great day !
Picked up from accommodation, there were a couple of others on the tour as well. We went to Peles, Bran Castle, and then ‘bears in the wild’.
Highly recommend all of them. For me, the bear watching was a particularly ‘stand out’ experience.
Vlad is a great tour guide, friendly and professional,

Brilliant tour!- Coming from 1st time English travellers - Had the most amazing day trip with our driver/ tour guide Vlad.
He was incredibly friendly, chatty, informative and flexible with our every need.
Highly recommend this trip and tour guide. There wasn’t one moment I felt bored or wondered what was going on.
His English is amazing.
The only thing to mention is Peles castle being under slight construction renovation at the main clock tower currently, however this did not effect our tour at all and there were still lots of unaffected photo opportunities available inside and out around the castle grounds.

Amazing tour guide & experience - Vlad was a fantastic guide. He was easy to communicate with over WhatsApp and helped us create our own bespoke tour to visit the 2 castles followed by the bear watching in the wild the same evening. Vlad was extremely knowledgable about the castles and his English was perfect. He was great to chat to and we learned a lot. The bear watching tour was the highlight of the trip and Vlad took some cute photos of us with the bears in the background. Thanks Vlad, we’d highly recommend your tours!!

A fantastic guide for a brilliant day tour - What a brilliant day full day out. It was a surprise for my wife for her birthday. She didn’t even know she was coming to Romania, let alone doing this tour. She thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our guide, Vali, was fantastic. The amount of historical knowledge and information about all our sights and travels was unbelievable, Vali was so kind towards us and very polite. It really was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He made sure we were safe and he was happy to tailor the day to our needs, for example being very flexible with a lunch stop. Great day and a brilliant guide. You will not be disappointed choosing this tour!

History, Nature, and Classic Beauty, - We recently spent 2 weeks in Brasov and I wanted to be sure to hit my wishlist. I contacted Vlad, who picked us up right on time. We went to Bran Castle first, then the Bear sanctuary-which we LOVED--and ended at the gorgeous Peles Castle. Vlad was a wonderful guide, he should be cloned. Answered all my questions -- we thoroughly enjoyed his company. No regrets about booking with him.

Amazing Experience - The only problem with this is that now I want a Vlad everywhere we go! Having him as a guide made our experience so much better. There is no way we would have known all the details and interesting stories he told us. Definitely recommend having his as a guide and he has tours that are suitable for any season. Thank you for a great day!

Fantastic day trip from Brasov - We had a fantastic time with Vlad on this tour, thanks to his expertise we could visit the Bear sanctuary, the Peles and Bran castle all in one day!
It was really enjoyable to listen to the stories and information he provided to us during the visits, showcasing his great knowledge and passion about Romanian history. The great convos we had with him the whole trip made the day even more memorable!
Highly recommend this tour and can't wait for next time!

A Brashov Must! - Vald deserves 10/10 stars! His tour was the highlight of our time in Brashov. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has so much more information about each location that you can’t get if you did these stops on your own. He’s is so friendly, personable, and we can’t stop talking about how much fun we had!

Trip to Bear Sanctuary, Peles & Bran castle - Our recent trip to Romania would not be the same without Vlad as our guide. He took us on a fantastic tour that included Peles Castle, Bran Castle and the Libearty Bear Sanctuary.
The tour itself was well-paced, giving us enough time to explore each location, with Vlad adding context using his good historical knowledge.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable and engaging guide who will show you the best of Transylvania, then look no further. Vlad is certified both as local and national guide, so he really knows his stuff.
