Spectacular - This is a truly amazing experience. You can see the bears in their natural habitat and up close. As a positive part, it is the good organization of the company and professionalism of the guide. As a negative part is obviously the feeding of the bear, as we interfere a little in its behavior. But this tour in question is done in the most respectful way possible, because there is no direct contact with the animal since the sighting is done from a hide. The idea of feeding them is so that they do not go down to the cities as it would pose a danger to them and to us. One thing that would improve would be the number of participants because the hide is small and there are two rows of chairs, and those in the back do not have the same views as those in front.

Highly recommend. We saw... - Highly recommend. We saw 4 foxes and 5 bears (although the bears came during darker hours of the session since they prefer dusk to be more active but the guide told us that they can appear at any time since the bears have no schedule haha) it was a very professional and a wonderful experience, the guide came on time and picked us up from the meeting location in a spacious van and was very hospitable to us throughout the event.

Wild nature - OK, so there was only one bear and a lot of silent waiting. However, one bear is better than none and you cannot order wild nature to display itself as if it were Netflix. There were quite a few foxes as well, which was very cool. And funnily enough a young bear who came to feed was scared of a fox who was clearly enjoying his commanding presence even if a bear could snap its head off with one bite. Robert the guide was very passionate about bears and made the experience worthwhile.

It was a bit disorganized - Had a bit of a difficult time getting there (late arrivals and traffic). Did see three bear. Blind is quite crowded and our driver was our guide - no ranger

Good company , no bears - Tour guide and booking team was friendly- contacted us prior with meeting details etc. Approx 45min drive each way, Unfortunately no bears to be seen despite waiting 2hrs. Very disappointing as this was my only reason I returned to Romania (as seen city, castles etc before). Unfortunately that's nature though so can't be controlled. Saw bears in liberty sanctuary next day which us good as guaranteed but not quite same as in wild - good option if you want go guarantee seeing though. Company refunded 50% of cost that same night due to no bear sightings which was really nice gesture (didnt even ask or say anything about no bears). Overall recommend company as cannot fault them but just dont rely on seeing bears when sign up
