I had been in Brasov before, but never on a proper tour. I had the opportunity to take the Guided Tour with Ioana last week and it was worth every minute. We saw all of the important bits of Brasov and Ioana was extremely nice and knowledgeable (she even picked us up along the way after we couldn't find her... More

Falling in love with charming Romania is easy and so it is with lovely Brasov - a city that keeps a unique spirit of the country, its culture and people. I expected the city to be worth visiting it, but the Free Brasov Tour made it a truly memorable experience. Our guide Yoanna transmitted to us her passion, knowledge about... More

Very nice tour for about 2,5 hours which goes around all the major sites and the tourguide also gives a lot of interesting information on the history of the buildings. Very worth it! It's every day at 18 hours at the clock tower.

What a wonderful idea. Students and young professionals that take pride in telling people about their city and the history of the transylvania region. Janna/Yoanna (?) could not have been more lovely, funny and interesting. From showing us the the smallest street in SE Europe, to explaining the cultural dynamics between the saxons and the romanians and the influence of... More

The free guided Brasov tours are a great way to learn a lot about the city, its people, and its amazing history. Our guide Rares was fun, knowledgeable, and happily joined us for drinks at a local pub afterwards. The tour is a little longer than two hours, but it's well worth it. Don't forget to tip your guide!

This is one of the must do tours in Brasov. Its the right amount of walking involved and our tour guide was great. She took us around the city, explaining the history and showing us pictures of how things were etc. Very patient and friendly and had some recommendations on food places as well. Although it is a free tour,... More

Find the town hall square and join the locals with the best welcome to the city! If you are the one who enjoys alternative tours with cool stories, the spirit and the best sites of Brasov then the perfect introduction to the city is probably the Guided Brasov offered Free City Tour. Local young volunteer guides let you discover Brasov... More

We took the tour this week (beginning of April) and we loved it! The guide was great and told us many stories about the city. He also guided us to some places were we could eat romanian food and drinks. It is a great way to see the city and understand the history of the place. It is a must!... More

This is a great way to see the city, the sights, and understand Brasov and Romania. The tour guide was very informative, friendly and fun. Rares is a local, so it was great to see areas off the beaten path and get really good info from a local. Definitely recommended!

Our guide, Rades, was awesome. He was so friendly and charming (ATTN LADIES: and cute!). He told us basically everything you'd ever want to know about Brasov. The tour was supposed to last 2 hours, but ended up being 3! No complaints here :) This is the best way to see Brasov.
