          Exceptional ski instructor!
          I had an absolutely amazing experience with Romina. She was highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. Romina made learning to ski so much fun while ensuring safety and building confidence on the slopes. Her ability to break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps was remarkable, and the lesson was tailored to suit our skill level and learning pace. By the end of my sessions, I felt like mpre confident, in control, and thoroughly enjoying myself. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, I cannot recommend Romina highly enough.

          A Must in Brașov!
          I can’t say enough great things about Day Trips Brașov. Ramona is incredibly well organized and extremely knowledgeable. I also had Hea as a guide who was terrific. I used Day Trips Brașov for three private tours. The first was Bran Castle and Pestera Mountain Villages, the second Peleș Castle and the Bucegi Natural Park and the third was the full day Pestera hike. All three I would highly recommend. They are the perfect mix of history in the region and natural beauty.

          Hiking village trails into national forest
          We hiked the trails around the village of Pestera that our guide knew about because she recently lived in the village. The countryside was beautiful and we saw the rural side of life. We drove to Maugura and hiked overlooking mountain cow pastures and into the national forest. Our guide Ramona adapted the trip to our group and was informative and friendly and helped us understand the land we were traveling through. We had a wonderful time and would love to hike with Ramona again.

          Once in a lifetime experience: the magnificent Transfagarasan Road
          I took this tour with Ramona, she is always there for me from the beginning since I booked this tour until the drop off, prompt and attentive to answer my questions. She told me many interesting stories about Romania histories while we take a drive to Carpathian Mountains. We are very lucky to encounter with brown bears along the way to the lake! The scenery throughout the entire journey is beyond your imagination and to top it off when you arrive at the lake, the view there could take your breath away! Ramona guide me for a walk around the lake and give me suggestion about what food should I try. We dine at the area near the lake which is amazing. The bonus stop of this trip you could pick one for yourself, I choose to go to Carta Monastery, a hidden gem for ancient history lover. I really encourage everyone to go on this trip once in your lifetime not only because of the beauty you will see in Transylvania nature and places but as the road has limited access, opens only for a short summer period (Jun-Sep/Oct) and only if the weather conditions is permitted, if you got a chance, do not hesitate to join this magnificent experience with Ramona!

          Extremely nice and knowledgeable tour guide Andrei
          Our guide Andrei was very nice, was at the meeting point on time and very considerate towards our group of six. Made sure we were in the shade every tine we stopped to listen to his talk and look at the landmark. He was extremely knowledgeable. Maybe a bit more walk would have been even better, but then it depends some people prefer to walk less. We like to see as much as possible. Nevertheless, Andrei was extremely nice, respectful and knowledgeable.

          Best Tour Guides in Brasov!!!
          An amazing guided tour by Ramona, through some of the most beautiful countryside. Ramona got us to ground ourselves during the walk by taking our boots off and walking barefoot through the countryside which was an exhilarating experience! We also had the pleasure of a guided tour by Radu, to Bran Castle and surrounding area which was wonderful, with Radu with every step of the way imparting his extensive knowledge of the area! Radu who used to be a professional photographer, ensured we were taken to best vantage points in order to take photographs!!!

          My family and friends had an amazing two days with our tour guide, Ramona. We had a great mix of city, culture and nature. Highly recommend the Emerald Lake Tour and Sibiu. Ramona was friendly, knowledgeable and a fantastic driver. This area of Romania was the highlight of our trip.

          Very enjoyable day
          Really enjoyed our day trip with Ramona to Pestera and Bran Castle . We really like walking so was refreshing to be out of the city and taking in some beautiful country views. Ramona had first hand knowledge of the area so was a good walk. Bran Castle is one of those places you go to when in Transylvania. We already had a bit of knowledge about the castle and it was also a relief to know Ramona was not going to add to the myth but was informative about its origins.

          We spent the day with Ramona. She took us to Sighisoara and Viscri, both UNESCO world heritage sites. She is an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Her English is excellent. She was very flexible throughout the day and we never felt rushed. I highly recommend her!!

        We are incredibly happy with our tour with Ramona at Day Trips Brasov. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. She took us to Peles Castle and Bran Castle as well as a lovely local restaurant in the mountains where we had some traditional Romanian food.

        Ramona is a professional. She's a very knowledgeable and easy going person. There was no rush whatsoever. There were six of us and she picked us up from our Airbnb. We were in a nice 9 seat vehicle and felt very safe during the trip since Ramona is an excellent driver.

        We learned a lot about Romania and highly recommend booking a tour with Day Trips Brasov if you want to fully experience what the surroundings of Brasov have to offer

        Took the day trip tour from Brasov, our tour left promptly in the morning and was excellent! We visited during the low season, but we had great weather and plenty of time to explore the castles and take countless photos. We loved the option that we could chose the last site to visit, so after Peles and Bran castles we felt that going for Poiana Brasov was a better option for us. And because we are foodie our guide tock us to a really beautiful Romanian restaurant right on Poiana Brasov were we took the meal. The food was delicious and the ambiance amazing with a Romanian music band playing next to us.
        This tour was awesome and I would definitely recommend it. Ramona was such an amazing guide and we learnt so much while also having a lot of fun!! Thanks a lot

        If you are looking to book this kind of tour while in Brasov book with Ramona! She is very very knowledgeable about the sights and the country itself and our day was set at an ideal pace. Our tour was very enjoyable and we learned a lot about Bran castle, Peleś and 2 monasteries through Ramona’s story of all of them connecting which was very neat to experience.

        Thank you Ramona!!!

        Each castle is unique and important in Romanias history. Not only the castles but also the surroundings are stunning. We made dozens of pictures that day.
        Our guide Ramona found the perfect balance of information. She takes her time, brings a map and explains the relevant history in a clear way that kept full attention of all of our group. Every time before we went to a new place, we all sat down in a quiet place and she would talk and answer our questions. We could even enjoy drinks during these talks.
        Ramona gives freedom but stays in control to deal with times which is essential to avoid long lines. Very safe driver too!

        Ramona is very knowledgeable and able to communicate it. Her guidance helps you to understand and connect all, and is also very practical because she knows where to stay longer and which parts better to go faster or even avoid (eg the ultra long line for the tunnel of time in the Bran Castle) which saves time and money. She gave clear instructions before the tour, as purchasing tickets in advance is very helpful to skip the lines. Despite being a sunny Saturday in the summer holidays, we did not wait in line in any castle, nor in the traffic. The Pelles and Bran castles are classics, and worth the visit. Since the Rasnov ruins were closed, we went to the Wednesday castle. The views from there are absolutely stunning! Pictures Incredible!!

        Our guide, Ramona, is so knowledgeable. She made suggestions for the day and how to maximize the time at the sites and minimize time waiting in traffic. She accompanied us through Peles and Bran Castles, adding context to what we were seeing. She helped us to procure tickets quickly. I felt so much better informed on the history of Romania. She arranged for a stop for lunch, which was very pleasant. I highly recommend seeing this beautiful sites. Ramona is an excellent guide.

Wonderful experience and Ramona gave a brief history about the places we visited. She is a local and knows all around. Tour was very personalized and perfect weather. There is a lot of nice restaurants in every place you visit. Enjoyed the day. Thank you so much Ramona.

        This is a must-do tour if you want to experience the real Transylvania.
        You will be truly immersed in the times, people, and places that shaped Transylvania.
        Ramona is a fabulous tour guide and engaging storyteller. She takes care of every detail of the trip, from pick-up at your hotel to no-wait access, so you just can relax, take in the scenery and history, and take spectacular photos of Bran Castle, Peles Castle, and Rasnov Fortress.
