Reviews
We booked a tour with a guide, my husband and I, through a Romanian friend. The guide took us on a walk through the deciduous forest. We were lucky that it was a full moon, so we didn't need any lights. He told stories and local legends, as well as his own experiences, and showed pictures. He showed us strange deformities on trees in the forest and also the bare spot called 'The clearing'. He seemed knowledgeable and made sure that we didn't fall or get caught in tree branches in the dark.
This excursion was great! My partner and I went with Simona who was lovely, knowledgeable and loves her job. She is passionate about the bears and nature conservation. During our trip we saw 3 different brown bears and 2 foxes feeding! It was incredible to see up close. Highly recommend.
We did the 1 day hike through Piatra Craiului and into the traditional mountain village. This was an amazing experience, especially with the fall colours on the mountains. Our guide, Mihai, was kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about his job! He had lots of information to share during the drive and the hike and we very much enjoyed the day with him. Marius from Romanian Friend was very helpful in coordinating our excursions and giving us recommendations! I would highly recommend booking with this company.
Excellent trip up into the beautiful mountains. Stunning scenery en route. Whilst in the hide we saw three bears and two cheeky foxes. Definitely the highlight of our Romanian adventure.
