April Hike with Plenty of Wild Flowers - What a great experience! This was a beautiful hike with plenty of gorgeous views and copious amounts of wild flowers (on April 1st!). Radu, who grew up hiking these mountains, was a fantastic guide. Not only did he provide lots of information about the area, he also offered hiking poles and gaiters for the sometimes muddy trails.
The weather forecast was for rain but we never had any. In fact, near the lodge, we even had some blue skies and the clouds moved enough to see the mountain summits.
Fantastic experience. Highly recommended!!

A Must in Brașov! - I can’t say enough great things about Day Trips Brașov. Ramona is incredibly well organized and extremely knowledgeable. I also had Hea as a guide who was terrific. I used Day Trips Brașov for three private tours. The first was Bran Castle and Pestera Mountain Villages, the second Peleș Castle and the Bucegi Natural Park and the third was the full day Pestera hike. All three I would highly recommend. They are the perfect mix of history in the region and natural beauty.

Beyond my expectations, amazing day! - I went on this hiking at the end of December, and it was an amazing experience, with different kind of landscapes throughout the day, lots of snow and great views. Having an experienced guide in these hikings is very important, specially if you are not familiar with the regions, since the Forrest can be very dense, with lots of different paths it would be easy to get lost.
And although it was around 5/6 hours hike (and we are beginners!) it went really well, as we walked at our own pace, with stop midway for a typical Romanian lunch in a cute cabin :)
Ramona was very helpful even before the trip started, explaining the material needed and always answering our questions through WhatsApp! She also gave us lots of tips during the hike (and lended some equipment to walk easily in the snow), very knowledgeable of the region and the Romanian culture in general.
Basically we couldn’t be more happy with this tour, I really recommend to anyone looking for a great day at the nature!!

Great hiking and amazing guide! - We did this hiking during the winter. It was an amazing experience. Ramona is quite experienced, knows a lot the region and is super friendly and helpful. Therefore, even though we are beginers we felt really safe and with a lot of information.
The park is amazing and we could see different mountains during the hiking (although a bit foggy). There was a lot of snow and was beautiful, I can imagine during summer time is also nice to visit the area. We also had lunch in a typical Romania cabin and food was delicious.
Highly recommended hiking!!!

Stunning hike, amazing guide! - We did this hike as part of a 3 day hiking/castles tour with Ramona. The scenery and hike was stunning and Ramona was a consummate guide! She shared her extensive knowledge of history, nature, and hiking while taking such good care of us and making sure we had a great time and were well fed throughout our visit. We enjoyed every moment of this tour and would go back again to do more hikes and tours with Ramona in a heartbeat. There were 3 people in our group and due to last minute scheduling and health needs (one of us arrived with an injured ankle!), Ramona worked with us and adjusted things so that we still got to do this incredible hike but we did it in a way that was safe and comfortable for us. I looked up multiple tour options prior to our visit to Romania, and Ramona’s tours and flexibility, her very responsive and thorough communication (e.g. providing a packing list and clarifying questions about our needs along with updates about covid situations), her approach to safety, and her joy in sharing information about Romania, made this the very best option for us. Ramona is truly amazing and this trip was outstanding. If you are on the fence about a trip to Romania, this hike, or going with Ramona, we highly recommend all three!! We have hiked and toured in many places around the world and this was truly a stand out!

Not worth the price! - NOT WORTH THE PRICE! As a solo traveler sometimes I book things last minute, I booked this trip a day before the hike, as soon as I booked I emailed the guide just to make sure that I am all set for the next day. NO one responded to me until the morning of the hike, the guide told me that she has a rule set that should not allow anyone to book 48 hrs prior. So the morning of the hike, she needed to find someone who would be able to be my guide. Honestly, I booked this because of all the great reviews regarding the tour guide, they were all great. Except that I DID NOT get the great guide, the tour guide I got was not the best. He was very slooow, did not talk much, and I feel like I wasted my money. This hike is not worth the money, it is a very quick and easy hike. If you are a hiker I would recommend getting a taxi and doing this hike on your own. Or make sure to get a tour guide that is younger and is able to tell you more stories .
