Great tour in the Romanian Carpates - One day before the hike I was contacted by the guide, Radu. We checked all the details, like time and gear. Radu planned a really beautiful tour according to the weather and time. We had a great hike, nice views and made it back in time without stress. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have a guided start into the Carpates or is looking for a challenging route.

Great Guide and epic day out - Ovi quickly recognized we were experienced hikers with plenty of mountain experience and took us on a much better and challenging route to the top of Peitrei Craiului. The whole landscape here is amazing and the route we took through the gorges and through giant pine forest was breathtaking. Out of the guides we had this week Ovi was the most passionate about his job and we got on great with him. I would highly recommend this company. This was the best part of our already brilliant trip to Transylvania. We intend to return next year because there's so much hiking and mountaineering to be had out here! You won't forget the experience.

Day hike in Carpathian Mountains - Our guide, Sorin, was very helpful and offered to pick us up from our hotel even though we hadn't booked a private tour. He didn't rush the tour and was very flexible with the content and his time.

Really unique experience! - We went on this hike with Gabriel. He was a really enthusiastic, experienced and passionate guide who knew a lot about the Romanian wildlife and flora and fauna. He had a great sense of humour and tailored the experience based on our abilities. He took us on a detour into the canyon and gave us good tips throughout the hike. This was a really unique experience as a visitor and I’d really recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors!

Excellent day hike near Kings Rock - We were picked up from our hotel by our guide in Brasov and had a 45 minute trip to the walk start within the National Park. A great hike - just the three of us through forest and mountain pastures, stopping half way in a mountain lodge for lunch (small additional cost). Our guide Andrei was friendly and knowledgeable on nature pointing out many interesting things on our trip including the geology, ecology and wildlife - we saw black squirrels and woodpeckers. Andrei is a mountain marathon runner but the walk was conducted at our own comfortable pace and option to divert to see additional panoramic viewpoint was explained well in terms of timing. The walk was well marked but we only came across other walkers at the mountain hut and near the end of the walk along a track in the valley. Being first time visitors to Romania we were reluctant to walk without local knowledge and Andrei was the perfect guide and added greatly to our experience. Highly recommend!
