I had an amazing day tour in the mountains with Active Travel. Great communication and a great guide on the ground, Charlie, who made sure we were taken care of and had lots of interesting information to share with us. Can't recommend this company highly enough!

Pros and lots of cons to this tour. The pros are I loved hiking through the mountains, and the country side to Romania. It was truly beautiful, and I don’t know how else I would have seen it without this tour. So I am truly glad I was able to see it. As for the cons, our tour leader, Bogdan was very unprofessional and I didn’t feel comfortable for most of the day. He loves to talk about himself nonstop about how great he is, and all the men in the group (I was the only woman) he would love to challenge by trying to hit them in the face claiming to “test their reflexes and to practice some martial arts” (like what?!). You could tell some of the men were supper uncomfortable and he continued wanting to challenge them in different ways, especially during the hiking portion of it too. It felt like “little man syndrome” in a way. Then he would talk about politics nonstop, which mind you, the USA election just occurred and I was looking forward to actually getting away from that reality for a bit, and he challenged the ways of how America runs the country. I didn’t want to talk about it, I wanted to learn about Romania, the history, culture, etc. not have a huge debate about the USA for 90% of the day. So it did ruin my mood for the day, even though I was trying so hard to focus of the Romania beauty around me. From the reviews I see there are other great tour guides on here. So I think this tour does have potential because like I said it’s truly beautiful, but just with a different guide.
