    Excellent trip, excellent tour guide!!!

    We used Etours again, this time we had Vali, really friendly knowledgable guy!! We had really good time visiting all the attractions and Vali filled in on all the history of the area! He also made sure we got the most of the day, and we overrun a bit because we were having such a brilliant time and Vali was happy to stay out a bit longer because we were so interested in everything he was showing us!! I would give Vali a 10 out of 10 and I would also recommend him to everyone going to Romania! Both Vlad and Vali made our trip, and we want to go back and to Romania, next time we want to do some hiking, and we ask Vali to be our guide!!!

    Do it!!! An unforgettable time....

    You could not ask for a better guide. Vlad is generous, patient, kind and very attentive. He is incredibly kind. I took a private tour so I got to co create the itinerary. The whole thing, start to finish, was wonderful... an incredible experience made better by the host.

    When is the best time to visit Brasov?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Brasov?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
