“Booked this tour for my boyfriends birthday. It was good fun! Slight miscommunication with the guide who took us out on the snowmobiles as he doesn’t speak English, but Vlad rectified. Would recommend the tour. Only criticism would be to have a circular route as opposed to driving the same route there and back. But all in all, good fun!”

“Ovi quickly recognized we were experienced hikers with plenty of mountain experience and took us on a much better and challenging route to the top of Peitrei Craiului. The whole landscape here is amazing and the route we took through the gorges and through giant pine forest was breathtaking. Out of the guides we had this week Ovi was the most passionate about his job and we got on great with him. I would highly recommend this company. This was the best part of our already brilliant trip to Transylvania. We intend to return next year because there's so much hiking and mountaineering to be had out here! You won't…”

My two children, 11 and 13 loved it and so did I. It was about 10 miles in total - 2.5 hours up, amazing lunch in the chalet at the top and 1.5 hours down. Highly recommend this activity. It will be the highlight of our Romanian trip. Beautiful forest, mountains and a chance to have some outdoor fun together.”

Hike Romania’s Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains from Brasov with a guide, village stays, local food, and demanding Carpathian trails.
“I made the 4-day active tour as sole client with Bogdan as guide, who picked me up in his car and drove us to Magura. He also delivered me back at my hotel in Brasov at the end of the tour. . The routes followed tracks taking in the Curmatura and Grind huts and the rocky side of Piatra Craiului. I was very pleased with the routes we made although the tracks were often continuously steep in difficult forest trails, equally demanding on leg muscles both up and down. We typically made about 16 km and 600-800 m altitude in 5-7 hours. The weather was cool and occasionally damp. One…”
Hike Piatra Craiului National Park with Spanish guide Nacho, through Zarnesti Gorges and Curmatura, with practical route and value advice.
