Special and eye opening trip - It was an excellent day trip where it felt like a private taxi tour around lovely Braşov. Our guide was friendly and helpful and was always waiting for us, being flexible with timings and giving us great advice. Would definitely recommend!

Would recommend! Remember a snack and some water - It was lovely! Our guide Cătălin was very kind and very knowledgable about all the tour stops. It was nice to go in a small group and have such a personal experience. The highlight for me was the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, but Bran Castle was a close second! Be sure to wear confortable walking shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking and stairs. Maybe bring a snack and a water.

Excellent trip with Braşov Travel - Great trip organised by Braşov Travel. Catalin was an excellent guide giving us lots of information on the drive between locations in a lovely clean vehicle. Bear sanctuary was amazing. The bears were beautiful even if they had harrowing stories to tell. A real privilege to be close to these animals. Bran castle is great but can be very busy. You have to follow a one way system so be careful not to get rushed along. I highly recommend paying extra for the medieval torture rooms Râşnov fortress offers great views. Unfortunately you cannot go inside. I highly recommend Braşov Travel and would definitely book with them again.

Worth the trip - Bran Castle was interesting...just nothing to do with Dracula but interesting about the Royal Family and the Liberty Bear sanctuary was amazing how they save these injured and orphaned bears.

Excellent Trip - Great trip organised by Brasov Travel. Great communication from Catalin with photos of pick up point sent and clean well maintained vehicle. Catalin was lovely and pointed out lots of interesting features on the drive between locations. I would highly recommend this trip and any others offered by Brasov Travel. The Bear sanctuary was wonderful and emotional. The bears were beautiful but some of their stories were horrific. Bran Castle is great but can be extremely busy. You must follow a one way system around the castle and can sometimes be pushed along without fully appreciating what you’re seeing. I highly recommend paying extra for the “Medieval Torture rooms”. Rasnov Fortress gives great views of the surrounding area.

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
