Romanian Adventures & Wildlife Tours

Lauren T. on 08.06.2026 did 1, 2 or 3 Days Hiking Tour in Piatra Craiului National Park

Genuinely had the BEST DAY EVER on the Piatra Craiului hiking tour with Romanian Friend. I would give this 10 stars if I could! This activity was PERFECT, I was looking to get out and explore some of the Romanian mountains in a safe way, and this service delivered. I got to hike through beautiful pine and beech forests, scale some of the parks magnificent limestone peaks, and see some of surely the BEST views in Romania! Going with my private guide made made everything easy and safe. I got picked up and dropped off at my accommodation, which was super convenient. My guide also provided hiking poles, which was lucky for me as my luggage allowance didn't allow for extra hiking equipment. Pre-departure, communication from both the company and the guide was great - I was messaged soon after making my booking with prompt responses, enabling me to prepare for the day. The one unknown was the route - I didn't have a sense of where we were going, but don't stress there's a reason - your guides pick the route most appropriate for you once they know you a bit better. My route was perfect for my experience and fitness level, expertly chosen by my guide, where I felt challenged yet had heaps of fun (which is what hiking is supposed to be about). I'm sure all guides are amazing, but I was lucky enough to be guided by Bogdan who I think is the BEST GUIDE EVER!!! Bogdan is a total mountain man - he does every outdoor sport you can think of PLUS he has a military and martial art background so there is no one you could feel safer with. Bogdan oozes passion for the outdoors, and shared with me stories about his adventures and information about the area across our time together, as well as sharing his interesting perspectives on Romania more broadly (plenty of time for chats when you're together for 9 hours). Bogdan was professional, highly experienced, and totally hilarious - he spent a good portion of our 9 hours together cracking jokes to keep my spirits up, and even taught me some games and provided tips to improve my technique. He was entertaining, supportive and the best company to be hiking with, I feel very grateful to have had such a wonderful guide. Like any sane person I was slightly worried about bears, but Bogdan was 100% prepared and knew what to do, had all the equipment we needed just in case and was constantly scoping the area for bear-and-weather related threats, and made me feel totally at ease that I was in good hands. If you are even slightly interested in hiking in Romania, BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. It is a safe, convenient way to get into nature and experience a different side of Romania, and you'll have so much fun with great people. The challenge of the hike, the stunning nature and the company made this day so special and my favorite thing I did on my trip. I recommend this tour a million times over - THANK YOU to Romanian Friend, Marian from Brasov and Bogdan in particular for looking after me and providing me with this opportunity, this was without a doubt one of the coolest things I have ever done travelling.

Colin L. on 05.06.2026 did Hiking Day Trip: 7 Stairs Canyon & Castles Sightseeing

We had a very pleasant trip with our personal guide. It was nice that we could choose our own combination of activities. The guide had a lot of knowledge about everything.

guilian w. on 13.05.2026 did Day Out in Nature: Visit Turda Salt Mine & Hike in Turda Gorges

Our tour with Adela was fantastic and memorable. She picked us up at our accommodation on time. We learned alot about Romanian history and local fun facts. We were able to skip the hike in the gorge and spent more time in Alba lubia which is amazing. Highly recommend Adela for your future tour needs and thanks to Romanian Friend team for helping us out on such short notice (we booked the afternoon before!)

Angela D. on 27.04.2026 did Wildlife Watching Experience from Brasov

Our trip " bear watching" with Simona was excellent- she has an astonishing knowledge of wildlife and teaches it with high enthusiasm. She really cares about nature and wildlife and already during the car trip answered all our questions in detail. The shelter was firmly built and the whole site complied with all legal, governmental and nature conservation requirements. We were lucky to get the chance to see a black stork on the way and 4 different bears from the shelter. Thanks to the perfect organisation and our guide Simona.
