Cycle Romania

Beautiful Transylvania region of Romania. Biking through rolling hills on quiet roads through quaint villages. Daily cultural excursions often included with local lunches.

A lovely week's cycling thanks to the ever positive group leader, Cristina and the practical, "nothing is too much trouble" support from Radu in his green van in a beautiful, rural, unspoilt part of Romania.

This is my 7th or 8th Exodus cycling trip. I think it is the most low-key one I have done - it is not stunning, amazing, Instagram-worthy, or dramatic, but if you want a very enjoyable experience in rural Romania, with scarcely another tourist in site, with a great group leader and a great group, learning about the history and culture of Romania, this is a trip for you. If you want to excite envy in your friends with dramatic photos and tales, then choose another one.

A great, very well orgsanised trip. Lots of great things to see and do.

For the first—and probably last!—time in my life, I got what felt like VIP service, because the amazing and honorable company that Exodus is, let this trip run even though I ended up being the only guest! From what I could tell, the trip was run almost exactly how it would have had there been a full complement of guests, and I think I even got a few extra perks that I may not have been afforded otherwise. The cycling was fantastic with great routes, and only a handful of stretches that really tested my limits, otherwise it was mostly very manageable. There were a few cultural stops during the rides and in the evenings that were a nice change of pace and provided interesting insight into Romania's past. The guesthouses ran the gamut but always provided nice cozy places to rest each night. Finally, food was perfect for me—breakfasts were pretty consistent, and lunches and dinners had a nice range of soups, sandwiches, salads, main courses, and desserts that hit the spot after a nice day of cycling!
