5.00Mimi was our driver and she was friendly and professional and sorted everything out for us. We found the bear sanctuary interesting and it was lovely to see the bears being so well looked after. It was a good activity that I would recommend.
Amazing guided trip!

5.00Amazing experience. Valentin knew so much about each of the sites visited, including the history of Bran and Peles and Romania in general. He also works for Libearty and was able to tell the stories of all the rescued bears. The three spots aren't super near each other and Bran/Libearty only accessible by car, so well worth doing the tour to maximise time. Peles is a little further away, but definitely worth visiting. Communication with the company was also easy.
Best Tour I've Ever Been On

5.00This was not intended to be a private tour, but it ended up being so. I was solo traveling Romania and wanted very specific things to be included in the day - this was a tour that had it all. As a new tour option, not a lot of people had booked it, so I ended up being the only one for the day. I had the time of my life with Mimi! She came and picked me up at the meet up location. We started with the bear sanctuary. Very informative, you will see rescued bears up close and personal. We then made the trip to the next two castles as well as stopping for a brief lunch. I truly felt like I had a friend by my side experiencing the castle tours with me. During the car rides, I would ask her questions about Romania: the history, the culture, the people. Anything I asked, she would give me a very thoughtful and detailed answer. I learned about her life, which was an inspiration in itself. I had studied abroad for a time in Ireland and it turns out she had lived in Ireland for 10 years! She took the scenic route and we showed each other different music. I truly enjoyed myself all day long and was sad to see the day come to an end. I don't think I've ever had a better tour.
