5.00Vlad is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever had. During the ride to the hideout, he explained a lot about the bears and the situation Romania is facing with them, answered all our questions perfectly and really set the stage for what was to come. At the hideout we quickly went inside and stayed very quiet, 3 bears took one minute to come to the “stage”! We stayed for about one hour watching them in their natural habitat. We really liked this amazing and unique experience. Would 100% recommend to make this tour when in Romania/Brasov 😁🐻

5.00One for the bucket list to be ticked off and who better to share the experience with than the amazing Vlad! From start to finish Vlad shares all his knowledge with you and there is a lot he knows!!! We spent just over an hour in the hide and it truly was a magical experience seeing these huge creatures happy in their natural environment ! The hide is deep in a forest and is in the most beautiful setting!

4.00Amazing to see bears in the wild but it did feel slightly forced through feeding of the bears at a certain time. Would love to have walked with a ranger and followed them in the woods rather than sit in the hide. But seeing the Bears was incredible.
