Come and experience a trip on the most beautiful highway in Europe! Although the highway itself is considered to be the main attraction, there are many more pit stops on the way. For example, at 2034 meters, we arrive at Balea Lake, having previously admired the Balea Waterfall. The place is filled with merchants selling foods, drinks and souvenirs. The landscape is absolutely amazing. It really feels like heaven! Then, if you're curious to discover more and time allows us, there is an optional free of charge trip available to either the watermill in Lisa, a small village, to experience the traditional way of felting. Or, we can take a delightful lunch (meal not included) at the restaurant in Albota. Perhaps you'd prefer a cultural experience, and we can visit the Cistercian Abbey of Carta. It's really up to you to decide. Still wondering if this trip is suitable for you? You can take your whole family, or you can bring your friends. It's up to you!

Me and my partner did a trip on the Transfagarasan road with Ramona and was a great day, a real highlight of our trip. Ramana is professional, friendly and great company and do not hesitate to recommend a trip with her :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with Romona. Our first day was a 2 hour tour of Brasov city center. The second day included a tour of Peles Castle, Bram Castle followed by dinner at a very authentic Shepherds Restaurant. On our last day we drove the Transfagarasan Road and ate a delicious meal at a nearby trout farm followed by a visit to a unesco site that transforms wool from its original state to useable yarn. Ramona grew up in Brasov and provides considerable insight, knowledge and history about Brasov and greater Romania. She is very considerate and personable, and maintained a walking pace that was comfortable for my wife. She seeks feedback from her clients and makes adjustments accordingly, for example, she monitored the weather and moved our Transfagarasan Road trip so that we had great weather. We have pictures that look like those on Trip Advisor. Thanks again and when back in Romania we will seek out Ramona.
