Review of a private Bucharest day trip to Poenari Fortress, Vidraru Dam, and Curtea de Argeș Monastery, with mountain views and 1,480 steps.

Our drive along the Transfagarasan Hwy was everything we expected and more! The drive was beautiful and we saw more than 15 wild brown bears, including mothers with cubs and large male bears. The views from the top of the Highway were spectacular, and we were fortunate to have snow-covered Carpathian views, yet clear roads. Would…”
Review the Cindrel Mountains hike from Sibiu, with forest trails, local stories, Transylvanian brunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“La excursión estuvo bien organizada y el entorno es precioso. Sin embargo, creemos importante comentar que no se trata de un simple paseo.

Review of the private Bucegi Mountains hike from Bucharest, with Zănoaga Gorge, Scropoasa Lake, waterfalls, lunch, and practical tips.
“The day we went we drove through thick fog and arrived in a downpour. Alex offered to drive us to the lake and waterfalls rather than hike in the rain. We were dead set on hiking so we hiked. The hike is moderately challenging and through a beautiful forest along the gorge. The color of the lake, even in the rain, was beautiful. We then hiked to the waterfall which was truly beautiful. Alex provided a wonderful lunch and snacks along the way. He filled us in on information about the area. As we returned on the hike the sun came out to warm us up and give us a…”

Hike the Carpathians from Brasov to Curmătura Chalet and Zărnești Gorges with a small group, mountain views, and guide Andrei.

My two children, 11 and 13 loved it and so did I. It was about 10 miles in total - 2.5 hours up, amazing lunch in the chalet at the top and 1.5 hours down. Highly recommend this activity. It will be the highlight of our Romanian trip. Beautiful forest, mountains and a chance to have some outdoor fun together.”
