“If you are looking for an experience you will treasure forever this is it! Our fabulous tour guide, Dan, was beyond outstanding! The depth of his knowledge and love of the history of each castle and the rulers was nothing short of amazing! He truly brought each room of every castle to life with the backstory of each ruler and their lineage. He is masterful with the depth of every piece of armor, weapon, tapestry, furniture, painting, carving, statue… absolutely every item you see Dan knows the history behind it.

We arrived the day before the trip from 15hrs of travelling with no WiFi to messages from our guide telling us to buy the tickets for the castles we were visiting. I was able to get 2 out of the 3 tickets. We were picked up as arranged the next morning. The vehicle was comfortable but no water available. We arrived at the monastery 1st, had about 15 mins there. Then the 1st castle (no tickets for this 1- we were given option to pay cash but decided not to). 2nd castle, got a short tour…”

We only looked at the outside for a few minutes and then left. Also I would have like to see Bran Castle from different directions! We really only saw the side entrance area.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 70 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $60

Travel from Brașov to Libearty Bear Sanctuary, Bran Castle, and Râșnov with a private vehicle and English-speaking guide such as Cătălin or Valentin. The sanctuary is the emotional highlight, while Bran Castle is self-guided and Râșnov currently offers gardens and panoramic views only.

“The car was really comfortable and clean and Catalin was very nice. We also enjoyed all of the attractions we went to. However, we were led to believe that we would have a guide taking us round all of the attractions and explaining the history. What we actually had was a personal driver for the day and we instead had to walk around the attractions by ourselves. For the price that we paid we had expected a tour guide not just a driver.”

“The castles, fortress, and monastery were great. Our guide was very knowledgeable. But that’s not the highlight of the trip. We parked to go to the castle and we heard a cat meowing. We followed the sound to a pipe sticking out of the ground - it went about 2M in to the ground and there was a kitten stuck at the bottom. Our guide called for help on her phone and some employees from the restaurant came out and we spent about 30-45 minutes rescuing the kitten (we tried many methods). We were successful and I think everyone felt better for sticking around and doing the right thing. We…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 53 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $63

Travel from Brasov with Alin, an English-speaking guide, to Libearty Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. Expect a small group of up to eight, hotel pickup, live commentary, and about 90 minutes at each stop. Entry tickets cost extra, and Bran’s steep paths and tight stairways require reasonable mobility.

“Well worth it... saw lots of bears and learnt valuable information as to why they were in a sanctuary. It was not like visiting a zoo... although protected by fences the bears were in a forest environment and appeared in many turns of the corners... we took many photo's. The guide was very knowledgeable.”
