Private day trip from Brasov to Bran Castle and Pestera village, with a guided castle visit and an easy mountain walk.

“It is a small guided adventure set in an “attack” on the city. It can be done both day and night, and offers a lot of essential information about the city's historyAuto-translated”
Brașov to Sighișoara UNESCO day trip with English guide, Vlad’s birthplace, 64m Clock Tower and 164-step Covered Staircase.
“Guide (Adrian) very knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately the website indicated a six hour day returning at 1500 hrs but this is apparently a mistake on the website. We returned to Brasov soon after 1700 hrs which made it a long day with considerable periods in the car. That said the places we visited were fascinating. As this was a private tour there were only the two of us and I would definitely recommend doing it this way. Adrian was very well informed and helped to make the day interesting and memorable.”
Small-group walking tour of Brasov covers the Black Church, Rope Street, and the First Romanian School in English for about 2.5 hours.
“We had a personal walking tour yesterday with Radu. It was a great fact filled tour of Brasov city centre. Radu was very knowledgeable of local history and Romanian history. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Brasov!!”
Brasov highlights in 2 hours, with Black Church entry included, Rope Street, and the First Romanian School Museum. Private, English.
“Dan was good in explaining about the history of the city, and right from the beginning he told us that he talks too much, and he said that we can stop him talking at anytime but we didn’t, out of politeness. He has great information, but I don’t think tourists want to know all of that. Most tourists just want to know a bit about the history and more of sightseeing really. It’s worth mentioning that the tour was 1.35 min not 2 hours as stated, so we believe that it was not worth 97Euro for this short time, but we wish Dan all the best. Maybe hop on hop…”
A relaxed 2.5-hour private Brasov walk mixing speciality coffee, legends, secret statues, and key sights, with optional pickup.
“Do NOT book a trip with Andra Oprescu. First - via text, she wanted to change the time to start the tour. Then I agreed, via text, to the new time. She cancelled about 15 minutes before the time because she said I didn't respond via email. She is not trustworthy.”
Every kind of Romanian day out, and the pick of each.
