The Transfagarasean Road really lives up to expectations, and was one of the most stunning things we got to do on our visit to Romania! Our guide Zsort really went above and beyond, he was friendly and professional with lots of facts and let us stop in lots of places for pictures. Not only this but at a couple of other stops on the tour that required payment for entry in cash, and we realised we didn’t have enough, he paid for us and let us pay him back! Every stop on the tour was a delight and getting to see 8 bears (including four cubs) was a highlight. Would definitely reccommend!

We saw all the things we wanted to see in one excursion: the most beautiful scenery, bears, and Vlad’s real castle (from a distance because the castle was closed because of renovations). Our guide Dan was on time, professional, and knew a lot about the area.
