Overview

We start the day with a convenient pickup directly from your hotel in central Bucharest and drive to Transylvania.

We visit first Libearty Bear Sanctuary, the world's largest sanctuary for brown bears. You’ll join a 75-minute guided tour led by local experts, where you’ll hear the moving stories of the bears rescued from captivity and see them living freely in their natural habitat.

After we drive to Bran (Dracula’s) Castle to explore the most famous fortress in Romania. On the way, your guide will share the captivating history of the castle, separating the myths of Vlad the Impaler from the royal reality of Queen Marie.

Unlike rigid group tours, we let you explore Bran Castle at your own pace. No rushing—take your time to admire the narrow staircases and gothic details.

After the castle visit, enjoy some free time in Bran village to grab lunch, shop for traditional souvenirs, or try a local kürtőskalács.
