Romania Tours for Experienced Travelers

We throughly enjoyed this trip. Transylvania was such an interesting place to visit. The tour was nicely paced, the included meals were just right as it allowed us to have the choice of where and what to eat when time constraints allowed. Excellent accommodation, fabulous tour guide and coach driver and perfectly chosen included tours/entrance fees.

Being part of a small group with similar levels of fitness and backgrounds was very enjoyable. The tour guide Smaranda and bus driver Adrian were very competent and helpful. The Mercedes minibus was very comfortable. The scenery, especially the Carpathian Mountains was impressive. Visiting Saxon villages and churches was the highlight of the tour.

A great 5 days hiking in the Transylvanian Alps! Beautiful scenery and excellent views from the tops. Our guide Robin was excellent - very knowledgeable and did a great job looking after the group. Also really enjoyed our trips to Peles and Bran Castles and the National Village Museum in Bucharest.

This is a tough week (and I've done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don't underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up - no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you'll have a fabulous time!

An interesting tour, covering both the expected (the Dracula et al) and other less popular but interesting sites. Our leader was very knowledgeable too, with a good recall of important historical dates and people. Only negative was a bus with not so much leg room, especially for the 6 footers.

Beautiful trip with knowledgeable guide. Walking over the first saddle with the cows and the ringing bells was very very special. The views from the Ridgeline were absolutely gorgeous, as was the gorge. Parts felt a bit rushed, especially the Bucharest time but understandable with the larger group in busy places. It's well worth having a couple of extra days in Bucharest to experience the city. Overall an amazing trip. Lots of delicious food, and fantastic with catering for gluten free across the whole trip! The Guide was fantastic for communicating with the locals, organizing everything and ensuring tips were taken care of. Fantastic to have so much additional information for all of the places we visited as well as for the walks themselves.
