Romania Bicycle Trips

A fabulous trip giving us the chance to experience the beauty of rural Transylvania. Our guide Raz and driver Geo made the trip extra special by sharing their experiences of the history of the country and they went above and beyond expectations in looking after us. We were a small group of 7 with 4 ebikes so the cycling was easy and we kept a consistent pace. It was good to stay in a mixture of guest houses and hotels, with 4 excellent included meals. Raz organised group meals for the other evenings. The only minor negative points were one hotel where the staff could do with a lesson in customer service! and it would have been better if the bikes had mudguards.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cycling holiday in Romania. The tour was fully in line with the sales pitch on the Explore website. We really got to discover the country: sleepy rural villages, to historic fortified town, sweeping landscapes, rugged mountains. Our guide, Raz, was full of knowledge about history, culture, religion and nature, and throughout the trip helped us to pull together a rich insight into the country of Romania. The cycling was good fun. The accomodation was comfortable (the odd dog barking at night, but given that we were in the countryside to be expected).

Very interesting and varied tour, scenery and towns visited were fabulous. Both Raz and Geo, the guides, were extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Maybe an extra day or two of cycling would have been nice as you just wanted it to keep going :)

A great way to visit and experience wonderful Romania! The tour team - Elena, Lisa and Geo - were exceptional, ensuring the entire trip went smoothly, everyone had exactly what they needed to enjoy the experience and got the most out of the week. It was great to have tour leaders who were so knowledgeable about history, culture, geography, who were passionate about guiding and sharing their love of Romania and cycling, and had very good English, as well as being fun to travel with. The scenery was wonderful and the route ensured that each day we saw something special, as well as being away from traffic and able to really appreciate the countryside, and villages and towns. I would highly recommend this tour.

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.
