5.00We had an amazing tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us personal attention. Of course we loved Bran Castle but were also amazed by the Fortified Churches which we knew nothing about. This tour gave us a great overview of iew of the Brasov area. I would highly recommend!
Hidden Gem Tour

5.00This is a VERY underrated tour. It was the best tour I’ve ever taken in my life. I was so lucky to book during low season and Mimi as my personal guide. She is such a personable, knowledgeable and humble person. As a history lover with no prior knowledge of these locations, she was that rare history teacher you never turn your attention away from. I formed a core memory of climbing up a fortress bell tower, made of wooden ladders and so well preserved. I know it’s tempting to take tours to just castle locations, but as someone who’s taken individual tours of Peles & Cantacuzino, trust me you’d rather visit those castles on your own because the groups are large and you don’t get the privacy you need for those castles. Bran is much smaller in comparison and it felt like an individual tour with a friend who knows that castle like the back of their hand. Thank you so much Mimi for creating a core memory for me that I’ll remember forever.
Amazing trip!

5.00Had a great tour with Mimi today. We started out right on time and headed to Bran first. It didnt disappoint. The other stops were amazing as well. The churches especially. Mimi told me that they are not as visited as Bran or Rasnov. The churches are amazing though, and should be seen by more people, they are so worth it. Mimi had a great suggestion for lunch, and shared a ton of great information the whole day. Thank you!!!!
