Really enjoyed the tour. Ramona was very knowledgeable and my son and I really enjoyed the stories and the scenery. Hike and mountain village was our favourite part and we got to try some good Romanian desserts and coffee ☕️

Really enjoyed our day trip with Ramona to Pestera and Bran Castle . We really like walking so was refreshing to be out of the city and taking in some beautiful country views. Ramona had first hand knowledge of the area so was a good walk. Bran Castle is one of those places you go to when in Transylvania. We already had a bit of knowledge about the castle and it was also a relief to know Ramona was not going to add to the myth but was informative about its origins.
