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 😀

Best memory of this entire trip! Tudor was hilarious and a great guide! - Sometimes, I try to write reviews and I just don’t have the words describe how amazing the experience was. This is exactly that! Tudor was extremely fun to work with and even helped me plan the rest of my day. The views on this climb make all the effort worth it! If you were looking for a little adrenaline with a great guide, there is no better place. I had shoes with little grip and was still able to do it! (next time I will bring better hiking shoes). This area of Romania is absolutely gorgeous and the via ferrata is a nice mix of challenge, payoff, and beautiful views! After we got down from the mountain, the food trucks and leisurely stroll through the Gorge were a wonderful way to end the tour. (I have done via ferrata a few time before around the world and this was my best experience). Thank you Tudor!!

Fantastic day outdoors! - What a fab day hiking! Tudor was such a fantastic guide and very easy to talk to, giving me lots of advice and tips on really sampling traditional Romania in and around the area, I would recommend this tour to other travellers who have a love for the outdoors and for nature! 10/10 from me!

Buckle up go forward... it's worth it - The gorge is.... gorgeous. It's not unfair to compare it to utopia. Andrei work me so hard hiking up steep hills and slippery slopes for 2 hours...no regrets. I will do it all over again. I am also constantly being fed information about the history.
