Transylvania village hikes - We went on two wonderful villages hikes: Magura-Bran-Magura and Magura, Pestera, Sirnea, Ciocanu and they felt like going back in time.The landscape is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing and the hikes are easy. Our guide, Marian knows the history of the area, the people and has plenty of stories to tell. Marian is professional, friendly and we love to hike with him. Warmly recommend!

Rambling - My goal was to hike and get a feel for the local culture, I think this trip succeeded in this. The hike was very doable and the trip ended with a lunch at a local place with some regional specialities. Bought some sheep cheese to take back home! Would recommend this trip!

Short hike on the snowy hills of Transylvania - We started from Holbav, a little village close to Brașov, with a hike through a huge snow, partly through the forest. Above, an amazing view over a part of Poiana Mărului commune, houses scattered on the countless hills, like in a fairy tale! Marian and Charlie, true professionals, passionate about mountains and human interaction, made our day a really special one! I wholeheartedly recommend for an unforgettable experience, in one of the countless wonders of Transylvania!

Most wonderful experience, highly recommend! - My son and I were fortunate enough to book Active Travel for a private tour. Best decision ever because we truly did get to see the best of the Transylvania region, castles, palaces, fortresses, etc. They fulfilled all of their promises and provided lovely hotel accommodations in the center of Brasov. We can’t praise our tour guide, Tudor, enough. His knowledge, love of history, pride and enthusiasm for our cultural discovery made this trip unforgettable. We had so much fun with him and laughed so much that it felt like he was another family member. We really appreciated that each time we arrived at a very busy place, Tudor was able to do his magic and get us right in with no wait. It is very apparent that he loves what he does and does not consider it a job, very special in a young person. Just when we thought our tour could not get any better, Tudor invited us to his family house. Here we were given the tour of his farm and his family fed us with their own livestock and homemade brandy. They were so gracious and hospitable to us and we could see that this fine young man came from such a beautiful loving family. We came away from this trip loving the people of Romania and already discussing our wish to return. Thanks Tudor for making this vacation so wonderful!

AMAZING PRIVATE 7 DAY TOUR IN ROMANIA - For those looking for an AMAZING adventure, using a travel company, book through Active Travel. From the start, working with Marian, the owner of Active Travel was easy. I told him what I was interested in seeing in Romania, as well as asking him for suggestions and Marian came up with a phenomenal itinerary!! It was nice to be picked up and dropped off at the airport. My guide was Mihai.. He was EXCEPTIONAL!! He showed me many beautiful castles and churches, as well as taking me on some breathtaking hikes. Mihai was very knowledgeable and organized. He was also very kind and friendly. One would be very fortunate to have him as a guide. I also enjoyed viewing the brown bears in their natural element. I would definitely suggest going to see the bears.
