What people love about Active Tours in Romania
- Walking Romania - Transylvanian Alps Trek
First time to Romania and this trek’s itinerary showed us some very beautiful parts of the country - just stunning. The trekking certainly was very challenging in parts but with such a fantastic guide in Bogdan he made it all possible, and fun. He showed us so many spectacular landscapes and shared so much knowledge of the country that I think our entire group wants to come back to do another Romanian tour. Loved it!
- Private three days tour to Sibiu, Brasov and Sighisoara from Cluj-Napoca
We had a great tour of Transylvania's sites, castles, countryside and wildlife. Thanks to Edi for the information he shared with us. He made the sightings of the bears in Brasov and the Dracula Castle visit very exciting.
The Carpathian Mountains of Romania are stunning and we enjoyed each day of hiking this beautiful area. Kosten our hiking guide was knowledgeable and adjusted our daily hikes per our requests. His expertise and humour greatly enriched our experience. Accommodations and meals were good and mixing in some cultural sites of the area was a bonus. A great week!
