Transfagarasan Highway and Fagaras Fortress Day Trip From Brasov

The most breathtaking, awe-inspiring Transylvanian tour

I don't know where to start about this incredible tour. I can hands down say this was the best one I've ever been to and Vlad was the best tour guide I've had! Typically, other tours tend to be a huge group of people in a coach or minivans, some very basic information along the way and then drop us off to a location, leave us be and get back by a certain time. They're not very personalised and seem very generic. I personally don't like those as I prefer a local to be with us throughout the entirety, especially as I am not good at directions and get quite anxious if we're told to be back at a certain spot by x time. This tour was a completely different experience. Firstly, it was small and intimate, rather than a big group. There were just a few of us so it felt very immersive. Secondly, the views and scenery were some of the most incredibly stunning sights I'd ever laid my eyes on. I can't even describe how beautiful it was. Pictures don't even do it justice. It felt truly magical. The Transfăgărășan highway was the most breathtaking road you could ever imagine. Myself and the others on the tour were gasping. At each bend and turn I kept thinking how this is the most stunning views ever, but then we took another turn which was even more beautiful, until it felt like surely it can't get better than this - but it did! It felt like we were in a movie or a fairytale, especially when we saw the misty skies over Bala mountain. I was gasping yet again of utter joy at the beauty. Thirdly, our tour guide, Vlad, was so lovely. He made sure to take care of us, had such great insights, we learnt a huge amount and he was very friendly. He went out of his way to help us with various things which we really appreciated and was professional. It was also interesting seeing locations related to popular culture, like "Dracula's castle" and other pretty buildings along the way. I went for my birthday and couldn't think of a more stunning location to celebrate. The Transylvanian landscape is now one of my favourite places on earth and I hope others are inspired after reading this. As a spiritual and religious person, it filled me with awe at the beauty of God's creation. Also, as someone who wears a hijab, and faced Islamophobia and racism many times, it's nerve wracking going to a new country, not knowing how I'll be treated. Thankfully, we were welcomed, treated respectfully, the Romanians we met were so lovely and our tour guide Vlad and helped all travellers feel at ease.

Bears Sanctuary, Dracula Castle and Poiana Brasov-Private day tour from Brasov

Brilliant day with a fantastic tour guide.

We started the day with Dinu collecting us from our central-Braşov Hotel at just after 8am. You need to be at the bear sanctuary quite early so we booked the 9.15am tour. The sanctuary is very well kept and away from any main towns or roads. The sanctuary guides are brilliant and the bears are just so adorable. The stories that accompany so many of them are heart-wrenching but it's great to see them in such beautiful and open surroundings. And they are fully out in the open; it's not like you have to search for them....unless they're in the foliage high up a tree. We then travelled to Bran castle. Dinu, with his perfect English, was a top-notch travel guide and was so incredibly informative about everything at the castle. It is a great place to visit. We can really recommend this tour. Dinu is a fantastic driver and tour guide and the whole day is well worth the money. Plus you get to see lots of this beautiful country.
