★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $126Our pick

Private guided hike in Piatra Craiului National Park from Brașov, flexible routes, shepherd scenery, and optional Bran Castle.

“Alex was a great guide and this was a beautiful hike! I wasn't aware of just how hard this hike would be (1000 meters/3200 feet) of elevation gain over about 4 miles, which included rock scrabbling and using a cable assist in 2 places but it was well worth it! I was grateful Alex let me use his hiking poles on the way down because it is VERY steep and my legs were like overcooked spaghetti noodles by the time we started decending.”

“This was an amazing tour, and our guide, Bogdan, was the very best! He went out of his way to provide snacks, drinks, stopped for getting us fresh fruit at a local roadside stand, and even made a few extra stops along the way to show us some amazing landmarks rich in Romanian history. 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…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $102

Guided day hike in Piatra Craiului National Park from Brasov, with forest-to-meadow trails, panoramic views, and flexible routes for all levels.

“Our original plan was to go to Fagaras mountains but due to the unexpected snowfall the road was closed and we needed to change our plans. Piatra Craiului offered a nice option to hike on a different type of mountain. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, the fog hided the mountains and we couldn’t do the whole trail. The lunch break at the hut was anyway really nice. And on the way back we hiked through a very impressive gorge! In spite of the weather circumstances our guide Ovidiu did his best and the hiking was a great experience! He was a reliable, nice and professional guide! Also…”

Private hike from Bucharest to Bucegi Mountains, with Zănoaga Gorge, Seven Springs waterfall and Scropoasa Lake, plus snacks and pickup.

“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…”

1 day CARPATHIAN PEAKS & CHALETS hike

10.1 day CARPATHIAN PEAKS & CHALETS hike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $72

Small-group guided hike from Brasov into the Carpathians, stopping at Cabana Curmătura and Zărnești gorges, with pickup and mountain views.

“A great experience walking with Andrei near the peak of Vârful Postăvarul, to make the last section to the top (1799 m) on my own. We didn't encounter any bears on the way, but we remained vigilant. The trip was short, we clocked in under four hours, but filled to the brim with some spectacular vistas. A definite recommendation, especially if you, such as myself, are a bit cautious hiking alone in the Carpathians. And Andrei is an awesome conversation partner so it doesn't get boring either.”

We came across a beer along the way, and Adrian was great at keeping us calm and giving us space between the bear to watch this amazing animal being in their natural habitat. We spent a full day exploring and we got to visit two peaks. All the colours from the trees were at the beggining of changing colour so we got so many beautiful pictures along the way.”
