Romania Small Group Trips

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.

An amazing trip, and Rux, our guide, was exceptional! Don’t expect much downtime, but you will see some amazing sights and (hopefully) bears (I did!). The scenery is incredible, but be prepared for some long bus journeys.

Varied long weekend, with highlights being the morning hike up behind the homestay. The scenery was beautiful. Also lucky to see three bears from the hide which I will never forget. I enjoyed the free time in Brasov to explore the beautiful city.

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.

Been on a number of Explore tours and loved them all. This was one of the best. The itinerary was comprehensive and rewarding. Romania is a beautiful country and the towns were were surprisingly attractive. The tour guide "Tudor" was exemplary and pulled out all the stops so we got the most from the tour. Weather was brilliant. All in all....Fantastic

There are three nights in mountain huts, where the accommodation is basic (no shower, no flush toilet), but that's unavoidable and part of the mountain experience. The ridge walk is amazing, but involves some scrambling and is exposed - not for those unhappy with heights, and the nature of the rock is such that it would not be safe in wet weather. We had warm sunshine. As the brochure indicates, the walking is strenuous, since you will be carrying up to 3 days food and clothing, as well as the usual stuff for a day on the hills. Good for botanists. The final day of the itinerary, in Bucharest, didn't work so well, not helped by unusual 40 deg heat. We didn't really see much of the city and it didn't allow for lunch at a sensible time. If you really want to see the city, you should add an extra day or two to your stay.
