Eastern Europe Walking Tours 2024/2025

“This walk through Bucovina and Maramures takes you to another world--of painted monasteries and wooden churches, in beautiful countryside. You stay in rustic homestay houses with basic facilities but warm hospitality from the hosts. The whole experience was charming and fascinating and you learn much about Romania's proud ancient, medieval and more recent history and how, even now in the 21st Century, there are places which preserve very old architecture, traditions and way of life.”

“A fascinating introduction to rural Northern Romania with a great guide, good hilly walks, friendly warm people and masses of hearty Romanian food. It did my soul good to know there are such places left in this world.”

“I absolutely loved my journeys and adventure in Romania. From the self-guided days at the start to the guided trek in the northern mountains & valleys of Romania. Fascinating! A step back in time. So much to see and take in. Rural, alpine scenes dotted with gorgeous quaint rickety villages and churches and monasteries along the way, to help break up the challenge of the trekking. Unfortunately we experienced the result of too much rain so the routes were extremely muddy and challenging to negotiate. But it all added to the fun and unforgettable experience. Guide Radu was just the best. A natural. Knowledgeable, helpful, always pleasant and fun. A great friend to steer us along the way and keep us in order!”
