          The experience of the day
          We did a one day hike with Mihai. The pace of the hike was great, Mihai stopped to explain the history, fauna and flora of the mountains. He made sure the hike was enjoyable and he took good care of us throughout the entire hike.

          Romania Hiking Tour
          This trip was exactly as described and expected. Hiking through remote villages with stunning views, lots of animals, and delicious local dinners and palinka at night. I had an incredible time with my guide Alina. She is incredibly passionate about Romania, I learned so much! I recommend this for any nature/travel lover who wants to explore Romania.

          Fantastic guide
          We had Dan as our guide and he was amazing. He really knows his history and brings it to life with figures and pictures. He has a real passion for Romanian history and it was a pleasure to learn from him. The castles were great and well explained by Dan. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

          What an amazing experience! We were lucky enough to see two bears - they were fascinating to watch! Our guide was great and we would book again if we return to Braşov - Thankyou!

          Wild nature
          OK, so there was only one bear and a lot of silent waiting. However, one bear is better than none and you cannot order wild nature to display itself as if it were Netflix. There were quite a few foxes as well, which was very cool. And funnily enough a young bear who came to feed was scared of a fox who was clearly enjoying his commanding presence even if a bear could snap its head off with one bite. Robert the guide was very passionate about bears and made the experience worthwhile.

          A great experience
          Right from booking the trip this has been a great experience, staff were friendly and really helpful. On the actual day I visited Peles and Bran Castles and then Rasnov fortress. Had Charlie as a guide who was fantatic. He was funny, knowledgeable and a massive help when I was afraid of some of the stairs, 😆. He got us there before the big queues began and so there was plenty of time to explore and take pictures. Although you can't go in the fortress at present it's still worth the visit for the history and the spectacular views. Thank you Active and Charlie

          Best tour!
          This tour was the best of our trip. The optional Peles Castle is 100% worth it. This company does small groups, so our guide Charlie was able to have discussions with us while driving and provides tons of information on Romanian culture and the history of the area. Pro tip: pay for the tractor train thing at Rasnov...the path is long and steep, so it was the best 10 Leo I've ever spent.

          Amazing Day Trip with Andreea
          Spent a wonderful day hiking with Andreea. She was an incredible guide who told us many stories of Romania’s history and was incredibly knowledgeable about hiking and mouintaneering. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend the day off the beaten path, one of the best things we did in Romania!

          It was a bit disorganized
          Had a bit of a difficult time getting there (late arrivals and traffic). Did see three bear. Blind is quite crowded and our driver was our guide - no ranger

          Great tour with Dan
          On our tour, we went to Peleș, Pelișor and Bran castles as well as the Sinaia Monastery and Rasnov Fort. It was a full day to say the least. Dan, our amazing tour guide, made it all happen even when it wasn’t the original plan because we added more stops. He was very accommodating and made sure we got to Sinaia early to avoid the lines on the next destination at Peles Castle. We arrived at Peles Castle in perfect time before the crowds. Throughout the trip we would make stops of visita points for a quick break, which was nice to stretch and get some fresh air. Most importantly, Dan is very knowledgeable and we got a good sense of Romanian history. He uses photos, books, maps, and figurines to help convey and understand the rich history. You can tell that Dan loves what he does and his country, and wants people to love it as much. He is an approachable and friendly person to ask anything related to Romaina. Thank you for the excellent and unforgettable tour, Dan. We love Romania 😊

          Day trip to the 7 ladders
          Had a great trip to the canyon with Alex as the guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable. The walk was mostly relaxed, though there were some steep sections, especially on the way down. I'd recommend wearing boots or proper walking shoes.

        My partner and I were in Romania for a wedding and I really wanted to include Transylvania in our quick tour of the country. I found this tour group on the web. From the moment I contacted them they were so obliging and helpful. We actually got a private tour starting from Bacau instead of Bucharest so we didn't have to worry about driving. We had a wonderful no stress 3 day/2 night tour of Transylvania
        The communication with the owner Marian was amazing from day one, the booking process was easy and he tailored the whole tour to an amazing amount of detail and catering to our needs.
        Our guide Tiberiu picked us up from Bacau driving us into Transylvania. His knowledge on his country was wonderful and we saw some amazing fortified churches, citidaels and castles. the accommodation chosen for us was very comfortable and clean.
        Tiberiu even modified the trip to show us extra parts of the country, sharing the amazing foods and palinka with us. We hiked in some beautiful scenery and foraged in the wild sampling plums, apples, walnuts and mushrooms.
        We came back from this trip revitalized and feeling back to being yourself after living with the pandemic. We will definitely be back to this wonderful part of the world its so much better than I could have ever dreamt. Our guide really showed us some most amazing sites, scenery, tastes and smells and you could really feel the passion he had for his country.
        I can't rate this tour higher.
        Thank you both for such a wonderful experience XXXXX

        These guys are great! They tailored our tour to what we wanted to see over a 3 day period. Tibi our guide was great with a wealth of knowledge on every place we went to, and adds a bit of humour to the tour. And also seems to know everyone.
        Definitely worth it! Tibi drove us to Prejmer, Harman, Bran and Sinaia where we saw the monastery, Peles Castle and went up Cota 2000. The last day we went to the Seven Ladders which was great. We are definitely gonna use them again when we come back to Brasov.

        We booked 2 full-day trips from Brasov, one for Bran Castle/Peles/Rasnov and other for Sibiu. Both were conducted privately by Mr. Negrescu, a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, and an accomplished singer! The highest point was to visit a medieval cistercian church, where he sung Ace Maria in Latin for us <3

        Best price in Brasov and we highly recommend!
