Review of: Bran Castle and Rasnov Fortress Tour from Brasov with Optional Peles Castle Visit

Reviewed January 11, 2020

 

"I utterly enjoyed my day touring Bran Castle and Rasnov fortress with Dan. The other guests had to cancel and I was treated to deluxe private tour at no extra charge! I very much appreciate both Dan and Active Tours for not cancelling me under the circumstances. We went to Bran Castle first after a bonus stop at a fortified church. Bran is important to me because of the history with Queen Marie and not so much with all the Dracula hysteria.

Dan is a gifted educator, who brought visual aids along to help me understand the history behind these wonderful monuments of Romanian heritage. We even had a small statue of Ion Cuza! When we weren't chatting away merrily with information-packed discussions of the sites, Dan was singing with his skillful baritone. Dan recommended books for further reading and showed me maps and other supportive documentation for my deeper understanding of the history of Transylvania.

I have already downloaded and begun to read the marvelous book he recommended, "Between Woods and the Water," by the footloose British wanderer Patrick Leigh Fermor, who wrote of his travels in Romania in the 1930's.

It was a wonderful day. We had an excellent lunch at a restaurant that he recommended, and every minute was full of fascinating information tailored to my stated interest in history in general and Regina Maria / Mama Rănițilorn in particular. We found additional topics of shared interest and I was delighted to see his fascination with textile arts when we visited the textile crafts display at Rașnov.

I came home having enjoyed plenty of moderate exercise in the bracing mountain air and a rousing day of conversation, song and camaraderie with what felt like an old friend.

The tour company is much appreciated for making my day so memorable. I had a wonderful time in these deeply historic locations thanks to a generous, intelligent and fun guide, Dan."

"A ótima experiência começou há no Brasil, quando Marian, o proprietário da Active Travel foi incansável em me auxiliar com todos os detalhes de nosso day tour privado à Peles Castel, Bran Castel e Fortaleza de Rasnov
Pontualemnte, Carl, nosso querido guia, nos buscou em nosso Hotel em Brasov para um dia inesquecível, com muita cultura, histórias, comidas típicas e simpatia!
Nosso day tour começou no Castelo das Peles, no qual chegamos cedo, exatamente no momento em que o o local tem menos turistas. Passeamos pelo jardim belíssimo, tiramos muitas fotos e entramos, sem enfrentar nenhuma fila. Carl nos contou detalhes do Castelo, informações que não teríamos se não tivéssemos contratado o day tour. Tivemos acesso a todos os andares desse Castelo, que pata nós é um dos mais lindos e conservados da Europa (e nos conhecemos MUITOS castelos!). Na saída, Carl nos levou ao café do Castelo e fez questão de nos oferecer o doc e típico dessa região da Romênia.
Continuando o passeio, Carl dirigiu (muito bem!) Até Bran e mais uma vez fomos surpreendidos pelo ótimo serviço do seu tour, com acesso sem filas, muitas histórias desse Castelo imperdível e ao final, nos levou a uma feira típica pata experimentarmos comidas maravilhosas dessa região da Romênia.
Ainda conseguimos conhecer a Fortaleza de Rasnov,cujo acesso é feito por um trenzinho e lá soubemos de mais histórias e vimos um por do sol inesquecível!
Carl ainda nos levou até um parador para vermos as neves eternas, pois vibtamos que amamos neve!
Durante todo o passeio Carl foi contextualizando os locais e suas histórias.
Ao final do dia, nos cobduzoi até nosso Hotel, em Sighisoara
Foi um dia incrível, com MUITAS histórias, vistas incríveis, lugares que estão registrados na nossas memória e no nosso coração!

"My friend and I were very lucky to have Charlie from ActiveTravel as our guide on a fantastic tour of Castle Bran and Râşnov Castle in the second half of November 2019. Charlie was a brilliant guide, speaking excellent English, and had a very entertaining and friendly but never over the top sense of humour which made the whole day with him real fun as well as very enjoyable. He is full of real knowledge and interesting information about both Castles and also knows quite a bit about English history too as we found out.

Certainly he made the visit to Castle Bran considerably more interesting than it would ever have been had we attempted it by ourselves with just a guide book as our guide. He and the superb tour service provided by ActiveTravel was the real highlight of our two day stay in Braşov.

He never once hurried us and was a very safe and considerate driver. I would whole-heartedly recommend Charlie as your guide and ActiveTravel as your local tour company!"

I was able to make the reservation online the night before and met the guide in the main square of Brasov at 8:30. We first went to Bran Castle, which opened at 9, and we were able to beat the crowds and have a very interesting tour. From there we went to Rasov Fortress which was closed due to renovation, but was still an interesting and worthwhile visit. Overall, I was happy with the quality and length of the tour, 2 stops was plenty and we were back in Brasov by noon."

"Despues de estar en bucarest llegue a Brasov para conocer la historia de los castillos de sus alrededores, la chica que nos acompaño para el tour solo hablaba ingles, que para quienes entienden poco fue un mal dia. Lo salvo el tour a Bran con gran expectativa de conocer su historia y el interior del castillo. La ciudad de Bran vive del comercio generado por su leyenda, no en vano es el segundo castillo mas visitado en Rumania. El castillo conserva rasgos de su antiguedad, pero fue remodelado por la esposa de Carol rey de Rumania y perdio el encanto terrorífico. Ne desiluciono al ver que no es el castillo que aparece en las películas (se encuentra como a dos horas de este), Rasnov tiene una vista invcreible sobre la ciudad, pero se encuentra muy descuidado. No dejen de visitar el castillo de Sinaia es hermoso, hogar del rey."

One of our best days in Romania!

Review of: Piatra Craiului National Park Private Hiking Tour from Brasov

Reviewed April 2020

 

My daughter (9) and I went on a hike in the National park with Marian. After having a chat with Marian, I was happy to learn that he hiked all over Romania for the best part of his life , so he knows all the hikes and ensures that they are geared up for your fitness level. We had no difficulty completing the hike and at the end of it, there was a welcoming lunch in a local guesthouse, a great way to replenish our strength. Marian's company is promoting slow travel and supports local businesses, which is a big tick in my book.

The hike gave us an opportunity to enjoy fresh air, nature and meet friendly locals. It was such a different experience from the usual sightseeing or city walking. While Active Travel Romania can organise a variety of day tours, they also can plan a longer hiking trips for several days , where you can either go camping or stay in local guesthouses. When my son is older and can walk better, I am seriously thinking of coming back to Romania to do a longer hiking trip with Active Travel Romania

Communication was also great, we used whatsapp to arrange our meeting point and firm up the plans a few days before the trip. The trip run on time and all organisational moments were very well thought of. I would hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends if they are travelling to Romania in future.

Reviewed July 19, 2020

 

We had a wonderful time during our day trip with Mihai. He's very knowledgeable and a great companion for mountain trekking. He helped us decide what hiking tour to chose by describing the options thoroughly and we were very happy with our choice. He knows the area inside out and can make a lot of useful recommendations. You can walk at your own pace and stop for quick snacks, take photos, take rests as needed.

We opted for the Prapastii - Curmatura route. It's an easy one, with the first part walking through a gorge that is wide enough to fit a car. Then it continues through the forest and provides spectacular views of the Piatra Craiului cliffs. We reached Curmatura mountain lodge where we had a quick lunch and continued through the forest to complete the circuit and reach the point where we started. Expect this route to take about 5 hours if you walk at a normal-low pace.

Zum Glück ist das Leben in Poiana Märului stehen geblieben und wir durften uns über diese ein Einblick verschaffen.
Jegliche Fragen und Wünschen sind von Karcsi und Marian erfüllt, weswegen bleiben am ende des Tages keine Wünsche übrig.
Wir wünschen Karcsi und Marian viele gute :) Touristen, die diese Wertvolle Erlebnisse schätzen können!
Wir Sehen uns in 2021!
