Professional company. Hike was not difficult, suitable for new hikers, although more experienced hikers might want a bigger challenge. But overall great experience. Also company has okay quality gear (tents, walking sticks and similar) for rent at cheap price, you can consider not bringing your own.

Where to begin? Our hiking trip in Borzhava was a top experience! First and foremost, Borzhava is a beautiful region, allowing for a never ending stream of astonishing vistas. All you want to do is soak in the beauty and expanse of the landscapes, hour after hour.
When it comes to organization and guidance, Karpaty travel did an amazing job. They combine professionality and organzation skills with a very personal, warm and enthusiastic approach. Our guide was very well prepared and always found the balance between taking the lead and engaging us (as clients) in the wonderful art of self-reliant camping.
I would definitely book future trips to the Carpathians with Karpaty Travel!
