The scenery is stunning and very beautiful and throughout our holiday travelling around, we saw many different aspects of it.

The most memorable must be staying at the Prince Hunter Hotel in Turda. It was a quirky hotel that certainly put us in a “Dracula” mood... It surpassed all my expectations! We had a lovely time and we loved Romania. (more)Alicia Moreno

Absolutely delightful, I never came back from a holiday more relaxed. The weather, of course was a bonus, but the perfect organisation made all the difference. (more)Gerhard Kordmann

It is hard to pick out one particular highlight. The whole experience was amazing. Much of the scenery is pristine. The rural areas are a step back in time. Our hosts were unbelievably welcoming, even if we did not share a common language....we had milk fresh from the cow and food fresh from the garden. We even hand milked a cow. The wooden churches and painted monasteries are beautiful. (more)Colin Bingle

The most memorable part of the holiday was being around the bears all day and particularly when the tourists had gone we had the place to ourselves. (more)Rhiannon Lewis

Excellent. A great, unique program that can only be experienced in Romania at this sanctuary. And a fulfilling and mutually reciprocal volunteer experience: we got as much satisfaction and enjoyment out of the experience of helping the bears and the sanctuary as they hopefully benefited from our work. It's very fun! (more)Heather Jain

This excelled our expectations with constant personal guidance in cultural or large carnivores in this beautiful wild area of Romania. (more)Becca Charron

Scenery - simply stunning. The weather was kind to us and we got bright sharp days of sun and snow to see the mountains and forests.
