Customer Reviews
- Adrienne· September 26th, 2024Fabulous tour showcasing local artisans and gems of historical interest. Guest house stays wonderful. Highlights Desesti Church, Sighisoara and fortified towns of Biertan and Viscri. Bear watching in national park awesome. Alina, an excellent guide, willing to accommodate our group's extra requests.Show more
- Zoe· November 6th, 2013This was a brilliant trip, the scenery was beautiful, the group leader was full of good stories, the accommodation was gorgeous, the food was delicious and the hosts were extremely welcoming. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Having arrived in the dark, waking up on the first morning and stepping out on to our lovely balcony to admire the sun rising over the stunning mountains covered in a thick layer of fresh snow! Breathtaking!Also seeing bears in the wild - it was amazing to be that close to them - although slightly un-nerving too! What did you think of your group leader? Udo our group leader was great fun.  Full of stories and information of the history, flora, fauna, the people and the place. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Don't go expecting to see wildlife, accept that wildlife is elusive and that any sightings are a bonus.  The trip notes do give the impression that seeing wolves and beavers is possibly more likely than it is.  We were lucky seeing 5 bears at the hide and the splash of a beaver going into the water, but I think expectations were raised a little high.  The scenery, people and more easily spotted flora and fauna made this trip excellent. Is there anything else you would like to add? This is a great trip and I would really recommend it.  An excellent mix of walking in stunning scenery, fantastic culture, fabulous people and amazing wildlife.Show more
- Anna· October 18th, 2013Great holiday in a beautiful part of the World. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Walking up through the gorge.  What did you think of your group leader? Knowlegable fun charactor. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Don't worry about what Money to take as Katherina (hostess at house) will take Euros, Pounds or Lei at the house to pay for optional activities ( and drinks, more economical to buy a wine by the bottle than by the glass!) and you don't need any Lei until you get to Bran and then can get some from a cash machine. Is there anything else you would like to add? Walking stick / pole very useful, in my case it was a must.  Also lunch box is essential.Show more
