Great day! Our guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. The bear sanctuary was a unique and fun experience. It was a treat to see the bears in their surroundings and hear their stories. We proceeded to Bran Castle where Daniel gave us a tour of the iconic castle. We then went to Braşov, enjoyed lunch after a short tour and visit to the Black Church. Great day! Daniel was a fantastic guide..he was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and was more than willing to answer my questions. Thanks Daniel for a great day!

What an educational day! Daniel was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide as he drove us to the Bear Sanctuary, Dracula's Castle, and Brasov. My friend and I were a bit surprised at the cold, snowy weather as we arrived at the Bear Sanctuary for our tour. It was a little chilly, but the experience was one of my favorites in Romania - watching the bears and other wildlife here and learning about their stories. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the local areas and easily answered our questions about Romania as well. We also had a wonderful time exploring Dracula's castle and Brasov with Daniel as an informative guide. He took us to a quaint corner restaurant as well with excellent food. On our way back to Bucharest, we were also able to make an impromptu stop at the filming location of Wednesday's castle as well. We had a very memorable and enjoyable day with Daniel as a safe driver and informative guide.

Highly recommend this tour as it included a lot of places we wanted to visit in the short time we had available. The bear sanctuary experience was great - we were there when the bears were being fed so lots of photo opportunities. The tour of Draculas ( Bran) Castle debunked a lot of the legend from historical fact but I am still happy to say I visited the castle. Stopped in Brasov for time to wander around and have coffee. Lovely clean town and well worth the visit.
