Such a great experience!!! The machines are very powerful, comfortable and safe and are able to climb very steep hills. The host is a very nice and energetic guy. Fun is guaranteed with him.
I strongly recommand the tours. If you are in Campulung, it is by far the best thing to do.

One of the biggest surprises during this shirt trip, totally fantastic! Placed is an original boyar mansion from the XVII century museum is the must visit one in Campulung. Small fee (1EURO) will allow you to experience craft of all Romanian regions. Exposition is quite rich and perfectly fits the decorative under of the dwelling. 5 stars for this small Muzeum.

The city itself is small in a rather bad condition. However for an afternoon-length visit is ok, to enjoy the flavour of a beginning-of-century small city in the Kingdom of Romania.
The second day can be reserved to visit the Museum of the city. The main building of the museum offers a rather old aspect. The exhibiton is pretty much similar with those in other local small museums country-wide. I've been impresed to see there so-called "ocaua lui Cuza" and old standard measurement unit used to check the regularities of sales.
In the second building of the museum, dedicated to local and Romanian ethnography, the hand-made blouses ("ie" for singular, "ii" for plural) are, for sure, astonishing!. The building itself is interesting, but the tradtional costumes exhibited inside will ask you for another visit.
The guide in the ethnography museum (by the way, the museum staff need some further learning of English, French or Italian) told us about a memorial house of a poetry writer. This is in Namaiesti, were this writer, Toparceanu, lived. The premises are charming, with a nice small and poor village. Unfortunately the guide, which is very talkative, can't express herself in a foreign languages. However, the kids enjoyed a lot the small courtyard of the house. Worth to visit for one hour of peace.
Finally, our trip to Bran (very, very crowdy and noisy) had a stop to a monument on the peak of the mountain. We learnt that is the "Mausoleul Mateias". Inside is very chill. For Romanians, this monument is, very significant due the large number of soldiers (Romanians and Germans) died there during the WW I. Even the reproduction of the fight is noisy and violent, the kids enjoyed a lot. A little interactivity might turn this kind of exhibition in a very good replacement for computer or mobile games.
The entrance fees are very, very cheap. We manage, somehow, to enrich or fridge with 3 new magnets :) (as well very cheap). Next time worth to stay longer for some sightseeing.

Lovely Neoromanian style villa, which has been recently fully renovated and has entered the touristic circuit less than 2 years ago. Build at the beginning of the 20th century, it has the original furniture, objects, rugs of the Golescu family - and you can recognise some Art Nouveau pieces.
From the balcony you can see a large part of the center and some of the hills surrounding the city.
Don't miss the terraces and the dendrological park surrounding the villa.
There isn't a ticket, but the recommended donation for each visitor is the equivalent of 1 euro.
The villa is administrated by Pro Patrimonio Foundation – Romania’s National Trust – an international non-profit organization with branches in Romania, UK and France, formally established in 2000 by arch. Serban Cantacuzino.

This is just an ugly building, used by the local adventist comunity as a church, there's nothing interesting or special about it. I simply can't understand why this location is posted on tripadvisor in the first place.

Villa Golescu is a unique architectural and landscape ensemble encompassing a whole diversity of elements. It is one of the most interesting places to visit on an itinerant route which crosses the Mountains between Wallachia and Transylvania, was built in 1910 and is a fine example of the neo-romanian architectural style. Guest rooms are available.

Beautifully preserved house that used to belong to the Golescu family. It is now both a museum and a guesthouse, accommodating up to 9 guests. It has a beautiful garden, with various species of trees, covering over 10 acres.
