I would recommend the Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. But even better was Alin, our guide. He was very accommodating with our arrival time. He was very informative and friendly. If you want to do these activities, I would certainly pick this one!!
If you are in Brasov you should visit the bear sanctuary. They do amazing work and to see once abused bears protected and thriving is a joy. Bran castle is small, as castles go, but has an interesting and important history.
Alin was an excellent driver, and gave us lots of extra information about the Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. We really enjoyed both activities and highly recommend booking through Alin. Be aware that the terrain at the Bear Sanctuary has some loose gravel (older guests might find a walking stick and grippy shoes helpful).
Great trip & great guide. Alin was excellent and very knowledgeable- he arranged for us to be at the Libearty Bear sanctuary for 9am which was the best tour time. Communication was great & so was tour - thoroughly recommend.
The guide is very well prepared and can transmit his love for the territory. The tour worked perfectly and is very handy to be picked up and dropped off at the hotel. Thank you for a good time!
Alin is a fantastic tour guide and host. We booked a bifurcated trip to Libearty bear rescue and Bran Castle in Transylvania. Alin picked us up at precisely the agreed upon time and was exceedingly polite and friendly. This man is very knowledgeable about all of the tours that he runs and will weigh in on additional details beyond what is covered on site once you reach your destination. Lastly, Alin is a very safe and sensible driver.
Great experience with Alin. We stayed in Poiana Brașov which is a little far but Alin came to pick us up, he was punctual and fast. We enjoyed the extra info and the conversations we had along the way, Alin is a very easy person to be around with.
An unforgettable day with our amazing guide Alin ! We had an incredible time on our tour to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle. The bear sanctuary was deeply moving, and Bran Castle was fascinating. Alin is exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, shared many great stories and insights that we never would have learned on our own. If you are thinking about booking this tour, do it and you get the same wonderful guide we did! Cheers from Prague! ❤️
Our tour guide Alin was great. Very professional but also fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the country from his perspective and understanding the history he shared on each part of our tour. The Bear Sanctuary was a nice surprise. We are thankful for the memorable day. Highly recommend!
Great trip- our guide was great and very informative- would highly recommend
