Romania Tours in January 2026

This was my first ever trip with this tour company. And first classified walking trip. The carpathian mountains were beautiful Early June was exceptionally hot and sunny. The walks were sometimes steep up or down knee length grass.

I have been on a number of cycling holidays with this tour operator but this was one of the best. The cycling was just right with a number of modest climbs but the countryside is so beautiful and unspoilt with so much to see. Mountains, wild flowers, wildlife, forests, herds of sheep and cattle. Also a lot to learn about the history of Romania which explains the fortified churches, the hilltop citadels, the extraordinary palaces, the legacy of the Soviet era. A brilliant holiday.

This trip was all the best of Exodus in one go. A wonderfully balanced mix, every day a new aspect of Carpathian life. I went with my mum who said it was our best Exodus trip yet. It's really wonderful to be in an agricultural area where things are not about romancing the past to please the tourists. 

A good introduction to Romania.  The guide was welcoming and approachable and the hotel owner was informative and passionate about the welfare of bears.  The walks were relaxed and allowed exploration of the local area.  There was the feeling that there was a little too much travelling in the minibus, but variety was provided by the walks, visits to towns and waiting patiently for bears to emerge from the woods late at night.
