Hiking village trails into national forest - We hiked the trails around the village of Pestera that our guide knew about because she recently lived in the village. The countryside was beautiful and we saw the rural side of life. We drove to Maugura and hiked overlooking mountain cow pastures and into the national forest. Our guide Ramona adapted the trip to our group and was informative and friendly and helped us understand the land we were traveling through. We had a wonderful time and would love to hike with Ramona again.

Best Tour Guides in Brasov!!! - An amazing guided tour by Ramona, through some of the most beautiful countryside. Ramona got us to ground ourselves during the walk by taking our boots off and walking barefoot through the countryside which was an exhilarating experience! We also had the pleasure of a guided tour by Radu, to Bran Castle and surrounding area which was wonderful, with Radu with every step of the way imparting his extensive knowledge of the area! Radu who used to be a professional photographer, ensured we were taken to best vantage points in order to take photographs!!!

Experience the real country of Transylvania - Beautiful Swiss like country. Environment was so peaceful and the panoramas with the last of the snow in the mountains were postcard. So good to breathe the fresh air and to experience the farming and village life. Ramona, my guide, was excellent in providing great commentary and in ensuring that the hiking pace was very comfortable. She has a really good manner in her presentation - she listens and fully engages you in conversation.

Beautiful Journey Through the Mountains - Ramona was the best guide I could have ever asked for. She is kind and patient and passionate and can adapt the intensity of the hike to anybody's needs. It's perfect for regular hikers and also for families with kids. The villages we visited were magnificent, and we had little breaks and picnics in the most beautiful parts. We saw lots of animals on the mountains too! I only had 2 days in Romania, and I'm glad I chose to spend the most of it hiking with Ramona. It feels like a gorgeous adventure with a friend! She also takes great photos:) Thank you so much Ramona!

Magnificent hike - Such a beautiful, wonderful hike. Our hiking leader, Ramona, was so attentive to our needs. She tailor-made our hike just for us, just the right length, speed and length. She took us to picturesque villages and remote stunning mountain views. Can’t recommend Ramona enough.

A true highlight - I highly recommend a day trip to Magura and Pestera with Ramona. The views were incredibly beautiful and the mountainous villages were lovely and authentic. We got to see a lot of domestic animals on our way and stopped for a chat with occasional farmers we happened to meet on the trail. The picnic that was organised by Ramona was lovely, amidst stunning views of the mountains. Ramona was punctual, professional and attentive, and I highly recommend her as a guide.
