An enjoyable day exploring Piatra Craiului - My partner and I shared a good days hiking with our excellent guide Radu, who shared his knowledge of the outdoors and Romanian culture. The trek was well-matched to our overall ability and took in various points of interest, with a chance to study the local flora and fauna.

Amazing day with Valentin - Our hike with Valentin was great. He picked us up in a modern car from Brasov and drove us to Zarnesti. We hiked for a few hours, stopped at a hiker’s cabana for lunch (they serve hot food), then we finished by walking through the amazing Zarnesti Canyon. Valentin was so friendly - he talked about his childhood and his career and answered our many questions about Romania. He really made the experience special and I would highly recommend the tour. The hike can be tailored to you based on experience, age, fitness etc. so is suitable for everyone.

Tragic experience - The guide was careless and senseless. By his behavior we risked to be mauled by a pack of huge shepherd dogs. The only reason this didn’t happen was that a puppy and her mother had tagged along us and kept us company. Despite the fair warning of the shepherd dogs, he said to move forward ‘cause he knew what to do. The mother of the puppy was clearly unsure but followed with her puppy ‘cause she trusted us, we had fed them a few minutes earlier. The huge dogs came to us, circled us, they were about to attack us, when the puppy got scared and ran away. They pursued him instead, and killed him. After that, the guide was still giving nature the fault of this, while it was his recklessness; he was prompting me to continue the tour and go for mushrooms, showing eagles to me when I was just plain shocked, while the puppy was literally being mauled and his mother wailing. I had to insist to stop the tour and be taken home. We risked our lives, got a puppy killed despite having been fairly warned by the pack of the shepherd dogs, and he still was as cool as fresh air. The experience was shocking and this is the last time I’ll count on TripAdvisor or any other gig economy company for a tour experience. They make selection of the guides through reviews and this is completely unprofessional. All of this is true by my honor and I am ready to testify it again and again.
