Carpathian Tours & Trips

Romania's Carpathian Mountains curve through Transylvania where bears move through forests near medieval Brasov and Sighișoara. It’s ancient, historic, traditional, and truly beautiful. These mountains arc through central Romania creating wilderness around Saxon fortified towns, giving you plenty of photo opportunities and stop-offs to try local food and meet curious locals. Are you ready for an expedition?

    Had a seamless booking. Communications prompt. Tour was adapted according to our needs and where "Mother Nature" involved, thanks to Traian. Traian, our guide, is friendly and gave us options where required eg additions to our tour or places to eat. Quoting our kids, "He is chill". Amazing way to experience and see a glimpse of Romania's history

    Our tour of Transylvania was everything we had hoped for. Marius, our guide, is a wealth of historic and current information and showcased his beautiful country. We had a last-minute schedule change and Marius and the tour company handled it with ease. I would recommend this adventure.

    This is the most amazing tour! If you are looking to get out of the big cities, and spend some time travelling through the countryside, then this is the trip for you. Romania is truly the most stunning country, and this tour takes you through some of its most beautiful places, as well as stops at some of the most stunning sites – historical sites, castles, monasteries, villages, you will cover everything! If there is somewhere you want to go that isn’t on the itinerary, the owner is more than happy to personalise it for your group, just let them know what your interest are, as I found them to be more than happy to accommodate and personalise the tour. My guide for the week was so knowledgeable about the history of Romania, I learnt so much. The hotels are fantastic (just note that some don’t have lifts, so you will have to carry luggage upstairs in some places), and they’re located right in the middle of the old towns like Bravos, Sighisoara etc so there are plenty of choices to head out for meals at night which is lovely. The homestays are incredible - and the homestay hosts made the most incredible food I have ever tasted in my entire life! (You will need to have your own toiletries for these nights though as they aren’t accommodated like in the hotels) Some of the drive days are long days, so you may want to have snacks and drink handy, but again, it’s your personal tour so you can ask to stop if need be as the drive/stops are super flexible which is nice. Massive thanks to Bogdan for a fantastic trip!
