Great half-day trip - Dan was a great guide, easy to get along with and able to answer all the questions, despite us getting rained on for most of the walk. The canyon itself and the walk in is lovely - don't forget some cash for the canyon entry fee (20 Lei pp when I went)

Must do hike while in Brasov - Can be strenuous and challenging but you will have an option to choose from different trails:shorter or longer. If you are fit and regular hiker you will enjoy it a lot, beautiful scenery. Local guide is very knowledgeable.

Good intro to Romanian landscape - It’s a very short drive from Brasov, cute walk but definitely you can explore further in the park! May be strenuous for those unfit, but this of course applies to most physical activities, especially ones necessitating the range of motion for ladder climbing. No knee injuries :)

Day trip to the 7 ladders - Had a great trip to the canyon with Alex as the guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable. The walk was mostly relaxed, though there were some steep sections, especially on the way down. I'd recommend wearing boots or proper walking shoes.

Great excursion - We were picked up in time by our fantastic Guide Alex. He speaks good English and chats with everyone. Also with our (adolescent) children. The gap itself is superb. You walk in a fantastic environment along waterfalls and over bridges. Put on good shoes, they can get a little wet. We were glad to be on time in the morning. It was still quiet and we were able to take beautiful pictures. When we returned it was already a lot busier. This tour with Active Travel is highly recommended.

Fun and Beautiful—Worked Well for Our Teen! - We had a great time and the canyon did not disappoint— no regrets there! We liked Alex very much —he seemed genuine, was intellectually curious, respectful, and engaged us in conversation while I the car and at some points during the hike. From our perspective, an area of growth would be to provide some information about the canyon and its premises, and check on the participants throughout the hike.
