Tổng quát

Vé di động
Escape Bucharest for a full day in the heart of Transylvania — a journey through the Carpathian Mountains to three of Romania's most unforgettable places, with a passionate local guide.
Your day begins at the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti, the largest brown bear sanctuary in the world. Spanning 69 hectares of forest, it is home to more than 90 bears rescued from captivity, now living freely. It is a moving experience and the most ethical sanctuary of its kind.
Next, discover the legendary Bran Castle — known worldwide as Dracula's Castle. Perched dramatically on a cliff, this 14th-century fortress is steeped in medieval history and the myth of Bram Stoker's famous vampire.
The day ends in Brasov, a beautifully preserved medieval Saxon town. Wander the cobbled old town, see the Council Square and the Black Church, and enjoy free time before the relaxed drive back to Bucharest.

Cần Quan Tâm
Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti
The first attraction will be the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, a territory spanning across 69 hectares of coniferous forests where you will safely observe more than 100 rescued brown bears in their natural habitat. Since all bears have been rescued from poor conditions and here they can live freely in their natural environment, the sanctuary has been recognized as the most ethical one in the world.
Bran Castle
The tour continues with a scenic one-hour drive through the Carpathian Mountains to Bran Castle, widely known as Dracula's Castle. This 14th-century fortress, perched dramatically on a cliff, is one of Romania's most iconic landmarks and is famously linked to Bram Stoker's Dracula. You will explore the castle's medieval rooms, narrow staircases and royal chambers, and enjoy the stunning views over the surrounding valley.

Fantastic trip!

5.00Such a fantastic trip. I was picked up by ‘Pedro’ (:)) outside my hotel right on time and we drove through lovely mountains and sunflower fields. The bear sanctuary was great - especially the cubs, the castle was interesting (though the surrounding village was equally lovely) and Braşov was great for food and architecture. Highly recommend.

5.00This was an amazing activity for myself and my family! Our driver and tour guide Bogdan was very friendly and informative. He had a lot of great facts and insights about the castle and Romanian history, it was fascinating! I loved the bear sanctuary, they do amazing work taking care of the bears. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting, I’m already on coming back with a few friends!
Great day out

5.00What an amazing day! Bogdan was easy to communicate with, picked us up right outside our hotel, felt very safe being driven through the mountain roads with stunning scenery. The Bear Sanctuary was interesting and very informative, the Bears were very relaxed and seemed happy. The meal stop was excellent and the village and castle everything you would expect. Thanks you to Bogdan for sharing your knowledge with us and answering so many of our questions. It was a pleasure spending the day with you .
Great day

5.00This was a great day from start to finish with Bogdan. We started off at the bear sanctuary whhich was an eye opening experience. Maria the tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. There was also other animals there such as dogs, horses, wolves, and a deer. Then we went to Bran's Castle and walked around with Bogdan who was knowledgeable. The entry for both was around £15 each. Then we had some lunch in a resturant recommended by Bogdan. We got back to our hotel around 5pm and was picked up in the morning at 6:30. We had so much fun. The drive was around 3 hours there and back but Bogdan made this a comfortable experience. Bogdan even recommended a place for dinner, which served traditional food, which was great.
Great tour, brilliant guide and team!

5.00We got a message off Alex the night before our tour and our original coach had been involved in a crash which meant we couldn’t travel on this coach the next day. Instead of Alex cancelling the tour he sorted out new plans which upgraded us to a free private tour with Alin which was free of charge and brilliant! Alin was a great tour guide. So informative and taught us all about the Romanian culture, the bears, the castle and anything else we had questions on! Can’t recommend this tour enough. Please book!
Great venues, poor service

1.00Firstly, the two places visited were fabulous. We were lucky enough to see bears frolicking in the snow and Dracula’s castle was really enjoyable and well worth the visit. You are basically paying for a taxi service, nothing more. Admittedly our trip was on New Years Eve which may explain part of the poor experience. The night before departure the pick up time was changed from 7.30am to 6.10am, too late for us to cancel. We were also advised that it would no longer be a private trip for the 3 of us but we would be with 5 others, this was blamed on the snow in Transylvania. We were advised the difference in cost would be refunded - this never happened despite my messages to chase this up. Our guide, Alex, hardly said a word during the trip, which is very different to reports in other reviews. The bear sanctuary was great but we arrived at the castle to be told we had an hour, not the 2 hours advertised. After complaining about this we were given an hour and 30 minutes. Overall a poor experience and I have never received the promised refund. I cannot recommend this travel company at all sadly.
Excellent Experience from start to finish !!

5.00Prior to leaving the U.K. Alex contacted us and made sure all the arrangements were in place and tickets purchased for the bear sanctuary. On the day our guide was Bogdan, lovely chap, helpful, informative, picked us up outside our AirBnB and couldn’t do more to help. Highly recommended - 5 ⭐️
