HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Absolutely amazing, this trip is definitely worth doing. It has lovely views of the gorge and surrounding areas. The guide (Tudor) was brilliant and really helpful with pick up and drop off. He also gave lots of really good recommendations for the local area and helpful info. Ten out of ten !

Amazing climbing experience with the necessary challenge - The Via Ferrata experience in the gorge with Tudor was absolutely amazing. Tudor was fun to be with, gave clear instructions, showed a lot of patience and was a good cheerleader during the difficult parts. The terrain and the views were great! I must say that I found the climb rather challenging in some places, and I was glad that I had indoor climbing experience. That said, I highly recommend this activity.

Excellent Via Ferrata experience - Tudor is a wonderful guide! He’s very personable and welcoming. The via ferrata had its challenging moments but he was very supportive and offered excellent assistance. I especially loved the Palinka toast when we reached the top. He was very knowledgeable and knows the mountains very well. I would definitely recommend this tour. Great way to see Romania!

Amazing vista - Our guide Marian lead us through this great climbing experience in Turda Gorge, which was well worth the climb on the via ferrata. Not for those who have fear of heights or vertigo and a decent fitness level is recommended, but totally worth the effort. I particularly thank Marian for being patient with me, I was struggling because of the heat on the sunny side of the cliff (light breathable clothing if you go in the summer like we did). So not exactly a gentle stroll, but totally doable with enough motivation.

Amazing climbing experience with an amazing guide! - Absolutely fantastic experience doing the via ferrata with Tudor! The climbing was amazing (just the right level outside our comfort zone for beginners) with incredible views of the gorge. Tudor went above and beyond as a guide, giving us extensive recommendations about the local area that you'd never find online. If I could give Tudor 6 stars, I would!

A Gorge-ous hike! - Tudor picked us up at our location. We then hiked up with plenty of photo opportunities and little detours. We saw some amazing scenery from all angles! The hike was hot and tough in places but worth every bit of sweat. Tudor was so knowledgeable and gave us great insight into the countryside as well as other recommendations for the rest of our trip. We cannot thank him enough. Plus a dog followed us which was a great bonus 😀
