We had such a great day out with our guide Vlad He was very knowledgeable attentive and patient with our endless questions. Bran Castle was awesome especially in the snow and the bear sanctuary is a wonderful place. The stories of the bear's rescues were very moving and the staff are so dedicated. Rasnov Fortress is fascinating and there is a great viewing point high up where the fortress sits. The ride up is fun in a cart pulled up by a large tractor. The Palinca distillery was fun and we got very generous tastings from the distiller who was very warm and friendly. We had such a great day out and that is down to our guide Vlad Thank you for these memories Vlad

Bran Castle as as expected beautiful to see lots of history with a dash of cheesy vampire myth thrown in. The bear sanctuary was amazing we saw loads more than expected and and the story's are truly touching some sad but with the hope they provide. Our guild Vlad was informative and engaging through out. we found the distillery was not to our taste but am sure others will enjoy the host was lovely. The Rasnov fortress is not to be missed its not a tourist trap and has amazing views of the area.

Vlad was an incredible guide for our hiking, walking and sightseeing trip today. He is approachable, very knowledgeable and speaks extremely good English. Vlad also accommodated our needs as we had two children with us. Vlad knows the history of the area like the back of his hand and was very attentive to our needs. I would recommend Vlad to anyone wanting to travel in and around Braşov

What a day! Vali was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the wellbeing of the bears at the sanctuary is apparent and we had a brilliant time there. The sanctuary is huge and the work they do there is much needed. Despite some of the bears still bearing mental scars from their previous lives, it is wonderful to see the environment they now enjoy and the care they receive. It was heartbreaking to hear their stories, yet heartwarming to see them being so free. Bran castle was stunning and vali's knowledge made the whole experience all the better. As part of the fort we visited was closed, Vali was kind enough to show us the nearby ski resort. We ended the day at the distillery, where we tried lots of Palinka, enjoying it so much, we bought a bottle to take back.

Thank you Vlad for an amazing trip. Vlad is a licensed Romanian Tourist Guide and is incredibly knowledgable. He planned our trip based on the best opening times/tours for the day. He shared with us a lot of history about the bears, Bran Castle and Rasnov Citadel. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation. We couldn’t recommend this tour and Vlad enough.
