Review of Brasov’s bear sanctuary, Bran Castle, and Rasnov Fortress tour, with practical tips on timing, guides, tickets, and value.
“This is the most beautiful & heartbreaking place to visit. The life story behind these bears is horrifying. I am very grateful to the staff of this sanctuary & the professionalism they provide. I really appreciate how the bears quality of life comes first. Long before tourism, for example they only offer morning tours & they limit how many can visit per day. It was my pleasure to visit, learn & see the growth of some of these bears that were brought here from terrifying conditions & environments. To see how they have overcome these terrors by the love, joy & gentle care from the staff is heartwarming. May you…”
Review of the Brasov Transfagarasan tour, Balea Lake, Vidraru Dam, and Poienari Fortress, with costs, timing, tips, and seasonal limits.
“Our tour guide Charlie was really great! The day before the tour we received communication for where to meet and the day of our tour he arrived promptly. On the day of our tour there was a biking race that caused parts of the Transfagarasan Road to be closed, however I think the company handled it very professionally. They gave us the option to do the tour on another day or postpone the trip by about 4 hours so that we can still see the road and do the tour. We opted to postpone by 4 hours and we had a lovely time on the tour. Charlie was very knowledgeable…”

“Adrian drove us in air conditioned comfort from Brasov to the famous Transylvania sites. Our first stop was Peles Castle, which, in our opinion, is only rivaled by Versailles. Adrian‘s insights made our sightseeing much more enriching, and his ability to maneuver us through the very crowded Bran Castle was very fortuitous for us. My husband and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone (without mobility issues) who wishes to see and understand Transylvania.”

“We made the mistake of taking a 4yr old child that wasn’t able to go in to the sanctuary, so he stayed outside with Dad. It makes sense, the bears are rescued and nervous. The rest of the trip was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed Bran castle, and whilst Râşnov fortress is just ruins, the view was beautiful. Our driver was friendly and helpful.”

Review of a small-group Transylvania tour from Brasov covering Bran Castle, bear sanctuary, Rasnov Fortress, and palinca tasting.
“Bran Castle as as expected beautiful to see lots of history with a dash of cheesy vampire myth thrown in. The bear sanctuary was amazing we saw loads more than expected and and the story's are truly touching some sad but with the hope they provide. Our guild Vlad was informative and engaging through out. we found the distillery was not to our taste but am sure others will enjoy the host was lovely. The Rasnov fortress is not to be missed its not a tourist trap and has amazing views of the area.”

“A friend and I were in the area for 2 full days, 9/28/19-9/29/19. We wanted to make the most of it, so scheduled this for our first full day. This is a long tour day (10 hrs +/-), especially on the weekends since traffic makes getting between destinations so slow. Bogdan was our guide. We would definitely ask for him by name if we came back. Even though it took so long with the traffic, he wanted to make sure we saw and experienced everything. He was very knowledgeable. When we would enter an area or room, he would share information about it and let us explore on our own.…”
