This tour is well worth doing although it is a long day. We had to eliminate visiting Brasov town because we could not justify a 14 hour day with early morning flights scheduled for the following morning. Our guide, Mihaii, was knowledgeable. professional, and very helpful. We especially enjoyed the visit to the brown bear sanctuary. There was a lot more walking involved than we were told, but our efforts were well worth it. We were four adults (two couples) traveling together on this tour. The car provided was a small sub compact, and we were definitely cramped. I would suggest that you provide vans for groups larger than two adults. I will make sure to request vans for future Viator tours.

When I booked this tour, I told my friends that this had the possibility of being the best day of my life. Vampires and bears in the same tour! Could it be real? Somehow, despite the highest of expectations, this tour actually lived up to those. What an amazing day! The LiBEARty bear sanctuary is a very special place doing some great work. There are over 100 bears living there right now and we saw about 25 of them in our time there. Bran Castle is a stunning sight. As you will learn, it is much more than just Dracula's Castle. It is a wonderful site filled with such history, which you will learn from your guide. Even with all of the drive time and all of the elements in the tour, there is still plenty of time to wander around the fabulous old town of Brasov, which might be the best part of the trip. My guide was phenomenal, so full of knowledge and willing to share stories and insights. This, to me, is what made this trip even more phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and book this trip!!!
