Bucharest Adventure and Sport Tours 2024/2025

“A great mixture of cycling and culture, with plenty of cows and castles along the way. Visiting rural Transylvania is like going back in time to the Middle Ages - farmers still use scythes, people get around in horses and carts, and cows wander the streets. There is a fascinating history to uncover and the locals are very friendly.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our ride through the Transylvanian countryside with its almost constant backdrop of the Fagaras Mountains. The villages seem to be as they must have been for centuries, and the highlighted towns of Sighisoara, Biertan and Sibiu (we recommend that detour) are well-preserved with a strong sense of their long histories. The accommodation hosts were genuinely warm and welcoming, and committed to feeding their guests well. A special mention must be made of the tour organisers, who provided excellent trip notes, map and bikes, and their pre-trip briefing was detailed and personable. They also excelled when help was needed. This tour is highly recommended with its freshness of a road less travelled.”

“Very good trip. The rides were through a variety of terrain and landscapes. On the first few days there were views of groups of local people working in the fields with only the occasional item of usually soviet era farm machinery to help. There were visits to interesting sights including many fortified churches the like of which we had not seen before. In the context of local overnight stays with which we are very familiar on trips organized by the tour operator, those on this trip were all good. The only slight downside for some was the local high fat diet (sausages, salami, fatty pork and pickled cabbage featured prominently ) and hardly any fresh vegetables for nearly all meals. But that was the local diet and was therefore the authentic experience we expected. It was interesting to see the contrast between rural Romania with its horses and carts and modern Bucharest which we explored at the end of the trip. The trip lived up to our expectations of seeing a rural way of life which might have been similar to the UK several hundred years ago.”
