“Went to Romania with friends for 4 days. We originally booked to go on this tour on the Saturday but it got cancelled. We got the Friday last minute thanks to Viator. Everything happens for a reason as we ended up getting the best tour guide in Romania called Daniel. It was our favourite day out of our 4 day trip. Daniel has so much knowledge about Romania and couldn’t have been any more friendly. The snow on our tour made it all that more amazing. Some amazing sights to be seen in Romania. Would highly recommend going. Thank you so much Daniel for such a great day and great…”
Review of a long but rewarding Bucharest day trip to Libearty Bear Sanctuary, Bran Castle, medieval Brasov, and Transylvania.
“First of all we have no issue with Andre our guide!!! He was very knowlegable and helpful !!!! Since we only did part of bear tour and did not go into or upto bran castle , we felt ! That we should have had more time in Bran and Brasov !! It was a very rushed tour ! Only really time for lunch in Brasov !! Which was a shame!! A bit of a disappointing experience !! It would havebtaken longer , had we we done all of the bear tour and gone into bran castle !! We shoul therefore had more time in the other places !”
