Explore! commented on this reviewGlad you had a nice trip. Thanks for your feedback. The Explore TeamTrip date: September 2022 - AKaren· December 23rd, 2019We had a lovely time. There was a lot of travelling and early starts. This needs emphasising in the trip notes. Some trips have free days, This had none. It was initially tiring after travelling from the UK on a very early flight.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your feedback. I'm pleased to hear that you had a lovely time on this trip.

- AMiriam· December 23rd, 2019I loved the trip and all the people on it. I appreciated the professionalism of Horea and our driver.

- AAngela· December 23rd, 2019I would like to see a similar trip spread over more days. We passed several things, including fortified churches, that we would like to have seen. The outdoor museum at Bucharest deserves more than 1 hour! If we had been offered the chance of a later... Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your comments.

- AGordon· December 23rd, 2019Trip Notes wrong re day 2: 'explore Moieciu at own pace' is not an available alternative to walk in Bucegi hills, as this walk happens long before getting to Moieciu.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review and feedback.Trip date: September 2019Review collected by Explore!
- AChris· December 23rd, 2019It was classified as moderate pace which was maybe not accurate. Mostly it was very pacey except on the delta. The steam train and walks were especially delightful and being in Barsana on a Sunday was very special. Horea was a very knowledgeable guide...

- APenelope· December 23rd, 2019I enjoyed the holiday but did not find it as restful as I'd hoped. The pace was rather hectic at times and I felt the balance of time was too heavily weighted towards the middle. I would have liked more time in the Village Museum and in TransylvaniaExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review and feedback. Glad you enjoyed your trip!Trip date: September 2019Review collected by Explore!
- AIvan· December 23rd, 2019I would have liked more time exploring the local villages and people. I found that there seemed to be a lot of wild countryside that we didn't explore as we were travelling too much on quite main roads in a rush to get to our next destination. Also the...

- AGeorgina· December 23rd, 2019Although reasonably fit, I did feel that the rating of the walks as "Easy" was not really correct. The steepness of the gradients was quite telling (along with the speed expected) and I do feel that the lengthy forested walks should be listed as...
