The wildlife tour in Carpathian mountains was an excellent experience. We saw bears, vipers, toads and loads of frogs. Thanks to our guide Jeno.

Simona was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of good information along with a great tour. A nice look at the Romania countryside with a local as well as the bears!

rachael a. on 27.06.2024 did 1, 2 or 3 Days Hiking Tour in Piatra Craiului National Park

Bogdan was an excellent, knowledgeable guide who made sure we had a really great day out. He gave us lots of information on the local area and wildlife whilst we did a beautiful hike, and also continued to offer advice on places to visit afterwards. Highly recommend this trip!

Mark J. on 11.06.2024 did 1, 2 or 3 Days Hiking Tour in Piatra Craiului National Park

Excellent hiking experience in national park with guest house stay. Moderate plus effort but well worthwhile. Bogdan our guide was great, an experienced mountain guide, excellent source of information on the outdoors, all things Romanian and life in general.

Aneurin B. on 15.05.2024 did 1, 2 or 3 Days Hiking Tour in Piatra Craiului National Park

I made the 3-day 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 day saw a strong wind from the valley with very low temperartures which caused us to change our jackets several times. The accommodation in the Montana guesthouse was very good, warm and clean, with breakfast, dinner and packed lunch provided in the neighbouring restaurant – the hosts were very friendly. Bogdan is an all round sportsman and was sensitive to my limitations. He was an excellent companion at mealtimes and over a beer at the end of the day, very jovial and well informed of Romanian history. The routes are marked but not always easy to follow. We met three pairs of trekkers who had lost their way and Bogdan was gracious enough to guide them and give detailed instructions. On the last day we also took in the more touristic area with Bran castle and Poiana Brasov. I would readily use their services again and perhaps for winter sports, now that I have a better idea of the fitness level required. I would recommend these guided tours to anyone. They can accommodate all capabilities.
