Great visit to see some brown bears - We really enjoyed the visit to the hideout and spot some brown bears in the wild! Alin was a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the bears and also gave us lots of interesting info about România and Braşov in general :) Would highly recommend

Bears ! - We were collected from our hotel by Alin, who texted us the time of arrival and the vehicle registration no. On the journey Alin spoke about the bears and local wildlife , he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about bear behaviour and ensuring best conservation practice. Alin took us to a traditional restaurant on the outward journey where we sampled a traditional Hungarian goulash which was delicious, probably the most authentic thing we ate during our trip to Romania. Then after a further short journey we arrived at the bear hide . I was prepared to not see any bears but after about 20 minutes they arrived , we were so close we could hear them chewing ! It was a privilege to see wild bears in their natural habitat, thank you Alin.

Amazing experience! - The best compagny for bear watching tour. Alin is definitely the BEST guide you can find in Romania. He has his own hide, so you will not share with another group! Absolutly recommanded!

Highly recommended experience seeing bears in their habitat - Great experience. Alin picked us up in Brasov and we went to his Cabin in the mountains, inside the forest. After waiting a while we could see a fox, and a while later a bear appeared. We also saw wild boars returning to Brasov. Alin explained a lot of things about bears, their behavior, etc. Bottom line: if you pass through this area of Romania you can not miss the great opportunity to see bears in freedom.

Wonderful experience in nature with black bear - I was the only one who joined the tour yesterday, but the tour company “Welcome to Transylvania” did not cancel the trip. The guide Alin picked me up from the hotel in a timely manner. He was kind and helpful. He brought an extra jacket for me so that I can stay warm during the tour. After he drove me to a local restaurant to eat delicious Romanian dish, he took me to a black bear observatory. The air was clean and peaceful. It was a perfect day in nature.

Best black bear experience - Even though I was the only one who joined the tour yesterday, the company “Welcome to Transylvania” didn’t cancel my trip or charge me extra. The guide picked me up punctually and took me to the black bear observatory after taking me to a restaurant to eat delicious Gulyas. The guide even brought an extra jacket for me to use so that I can stay warm in the woods. I highly recommend the guide Alin. He is kind and very knowledgeable. It was a marvelous day in nature.
