One of the few places where you can see happy bears - Great place to see bears! They are a sanctuary helping bears and also educating people on the struggles of captive bears in Romania. On our visit we've seen 25-30 different bears of different ages from little ones to full grown massive ones as well as deer, wolfs, and a fox.

Educational & Flexible! - The organiser was really flexible on the day with the itinerary! Not only the best driver in Romania, but a cracking story teller and guide too. I have left his car with beautiful memories, funny anecdotes, and a friend for life

Delightful day, great tour! - A day full of joy and fantastic stories. I've never seen a bear this close, and here's a chance to see everyone in the reserve with their story. I adopted two bears on the way and bought a little one as a souvenir. If I can, I'll come back with the same company and guide Kathleen. Everything went great, from the meeting to the return to Brasov, thank you, definitely recommended!

Great holiday! - The best trip of my vacation, I recommend the company, they do their job with passion and love. The sanctuary, Bear Guide is only in Brasov, we were delighted to see the small and big bears so close and in maximum safety and to listen to their stories. Bran Castle is a story full of history and beauty and the Râșnov fortress offers a beautiful panoramic view where you can access it by elevator or train, the guide gave us all the necessary information. Thank you and we recommend you!
