Travel from Bucharest in a small group of up to 15, with a guide such as Mihai or Rasem, to castles, Saxon villages, medieval towns and the Libearty Bear Sanctuary. You’ll sleep in Brasov, enjoy breakfast, and cover far more ground than a day trip allows.

“We loved loved loved our tour with Mihai. He gave us a fascinating insight into all of the places we visited included the Libearty sanctuary, Bran castle, Sigishoare, Peles Castle and lots more as well as sharing his fascinating experiences of growing up and living in Romania. We stayed overnight in a comfortable hotel in Brasov arranged by Mihai and explored the beautiful city in the evening. Mihal was always there to help with luggage, suggest places to eat, provide water and lead us to some lovely lunch spots. He even kept his calm demeanour and sense of humour through a fairly awful traffic jam. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend…”
