Bear Sanctuary and Bran Castle with a Professional Licensed Guide—Day Trip

Unfortunately, I cannot award this zero stars so have given it one star. We waited at the start time in the freezing cold snow at the meeting point and no one showed up. We then contacted the tour operator who told us that it had been cancelled. Then we got an email from Viator saying that the operator had requested a refund (after the tour should have started). Extremely disappointed as we were only here for one day and this was going to be the highlight of the trip, I feel really let down by the tour operator and Viator. Had we known before today, we might have been able to book an alternative. In fact, no one told us it had been cancelled until we asked where they were… interestingly, the tour operator said that this tour has not been available since August and that Viator should not have been selling it. Shame nobody told us!

A great and touching experience guided by an amazing tour guide. Be ready to shed some tears at the bears sanctuary and be amazed by an out-of-this-world castle, not forgetting the delicious food served for lunch. Mr. Simon was knowledgeable and provided an expert historical perspective.

Great trip. Greg from Translyvanian tours was fantastic as was Oliver the driver. Bear Sanctuary fantastic and interesting. Lots of bears. Castle was great and interesting for its history and that Bram Stoker never went there and Dracula is a story and did not exist. Local restaurants are nice and not overly expensive.

At the reservation we arrived on the road Zarnesti - Rasnov, from Zarnesti after the city's Wastewater Treatment Plant make a road to the left on which you go about 2-3 km (unpaved road) and you reach the reservation. It's well worth it

Dead Mr Greg , Thank you so much -The trip was amazing . We can honestly say We learnt more from you ( and were able to absorb that information )than we have ever learnt in a few hours of a guided tour . This was because you engaged with us and sought out our particular interests in a natural and unassuming way . What a gift you have . It was like history , fun , geography , laughter , art , heraldry , anecdotes , architecture , exercise and time lines ,all rolled in to one ! And , to finish thank you for showing us to the restaurant for a delicious bowl of spaghetti and creamed lemon Salmon . We will definitely revisit the castle and the area and look at it with fresh eyes . Andy and David , Taunton , England

Greg was very knowledgeable and very accommodating as I had booked the wrong week and had to change the date. This was no problem at all. The tour of Brasov was great and we learned a lot about the history of the place. The bears were good - but you don't pay extraneous to take pictures with a camera as you cant get clear shots without fences and you can take pictures on your phone for free. Bran castle was great too. Greg was polite and knowledgeable, the meal was great and all in all I cant complain at all. Well worth the expense.

It was really amazing to discover Bran and Brasov through professional eyes, with so much insight on the places and interesting facts and tips we had no idea about before visiting with these guys. Maria and Greg are great guides and hosts, totally recommending their tours. Thanks and best of luck.

<p>Fantastic day visiting the beautiful Braşov, Bran Castle and Liberty Bear Sanctuary in the snow. Greg, our guide, was friendly and amazingly knowledgable about all aspects of our day including a fantastic lunch. Excellent value for money and highly recommended!</p>

I recently went to Transylvania to see Bran Castel. The tour with Transylvania Wonders was amazing. They were very well organized, and Maria, our tour guide was able to tell us all the stories and answer all of our silly questions. Highly recommend this tour company.

What makes a tour is a great guide. This was one of the best tours i have done and i recommend it. Full of fun facts and interesting stories, but the care and attention was of the first order, well worth the trip.
