Excellent day tour with a knowledgable, experienced guide speaking excellent English. Intriguing programme combining nature-- as we climbed to the beautiful site of the bear sanctuary and were given a full walking tour by the local guide--and urban as we explored the cobblestone streets and learned the history of 'Saxon' Brasov. My only suggestion is to ensure drivers use hands free cell phones when speeding on that very busy road from Bucharest to Brasov and back.

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.

The Bear Sanctuary, though a noble cause dedicated to saving the bears, was IMHO not worth the long trip to get there although I did not mind supporting the mission of the sanctuary. Overall , however, the all-day tour was quite enjoyable mainly because our driver/guide (Michael) was a fountain of historical information, the scenery in the Carpathian Mountains was spectacular, and the weather was wonderful.
