    I had a great experience. Active Travel was very hands on and picked great sites to visit (historical and food). My guide's name was Charlie and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, professional, polite, and overall caring about the experience. He was willing to accommodate everyone. Again I had a great experience and would recommend this tour.

    We had a wonderful experience. We had a great guide whose passion for the mountains and the people was infectious. The guesthouses were great with the owners going out of their way to give us the best possible experience.

    The tour was highly professional and met all expectations in terms of accommodations, food, itinerary and communication throughout booking and during the week. My guide Bogdan was exemplary, not only did he follow the itinerary but extended hikes to the maximum of my abilities offering interesting and challenging alternatives. In addition to being an expert hiker he was also entertaining, thoughtful and an historian with a wealth of cultural facts. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in enjoying the beautiful mountain air and scenery while learning about the history of Romania.
