We had a great tour on the 15th may…
We had a great tour on the 15th may 2026. A lot to see, good food during the lunch break. Our guide gave us a lot of explanations. Thank you for the good day. Best regard from Germany.

We did the hike from Pestera to Magura…
We did the hike from Pestera to Magura and back. It includes a detour to a bat cave which is nice if you have never done one. The 7 km hike out to Magura is very interesting as you walk past traditional and modernizing farms and rural scenes. The set meal in Magura is very good. The guide Tiberiu offers interesting information and perspective. The hike back is less interesting: a 5km uphill slog that I gather some participants refuse to do. But we were fine in our 75+ state. All in all we really had a good time.

Highlight of my Romania trip!
Absolutely incredible experience with Active Travels in Brașov.
We headed into the forest in the evening to watch wild bears from a hidden observation hut, and the entire experience felt unreal from start to finish. Within the first 10 minutes, we already spotted a young bear cub wandering through the forest, which immediately got everyone excited.
After that, we waited quietly and patiently, and then suddenly, one bear appeared… then another… then a third. Seeing multiple wild brown bears in their natural habitat, completely free and only meters away, was something I’ll never forget.
What made it even better was how respectful and authentic the whole experience felt. Our guide was fantastic, shared interesting insights throughout the evening, and even allowed us to stay a bit longer so we could enjoy the moment fully.
Without a doubt one of the highlights of my trip to Romania. If you’re in Brașov, don’t miss this

Active Travel - Highly Recommended
Active Travel organized an exceptional two-week program for my partner and me as we traveled around Romania. We wanted a combination of hiking, biking, sightseeing, and stays in authentic accommodations, and Active Travel delivered this perfectly.
They did a fantastic job coordinating every aspect of the trip and were especially impressive in making dynamic adjustments to the itinerary to take advantage of favorable weather windows. This flexibility made the experience particularly successful and enjoyable.
We also greatly appreciated the support provided by Marian and the entire Active Travel team. Whether it was the individual guides, drivers, or the seamless luggage transfers between locations, every detail was handled professionally and efficiently. Their efforts allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the journey.

Our guide Dan was extremely kind
Our guide Dan was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. He answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable. During the journey, we listened to great music together and even sang songs along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He also took us to beautiful spots where we could take photos.
Dan shared a lot of interesting information about the region, including its history, geography, culture, and local life. He also guided us with our shopping needs and helped us throughout the tour in a very thoughtful way.
We would like to sincerely thank Dan and Active Travel for this wonderful experience.

We wholeheartedly recommend Charlie; his remarkable patience and adaptability, particularly with our group’s unique communication needs, were outstanding. He is an exemplary guide who deserves our highest praise.

Brasov Bran ("Dracula's") Castle tour Romania
We were in Brasov, Romania and went on the Bran Castle and Rasnov Fortress tour.
It was such a well organised tour with a friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide called Tudor. He was brilliant and made our experience an exceptional one. Tudor contacted us the day before to make sure we knew where the meeting point was and to see if we had any questions.
Lots of expert knowledge and great conversation throughout the morning. It was a great and enjoyable day made more so by a great guide. I highly recommend this tour and company.

Amazing day hiking in Piatra Craiului National Park!!
My partner and I spent the day with our guide Isti today and we had the most amazing day!! The mountains were covered in heavy snow which made the hike more challenging, but Isti was well prepared with hiking equipment for us to use and was caring and patient throughout the hike. He was also highly experienced and knowledgeable. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was wonderful to see the countryside and village life in Transylvania. Our lunch at the guest house was a delicious end to our day, with a short walk back to the car to finish. You must experience this day for yourself!

A perfect day in the Romanian Countryside
We did the "Small-Group Day tour in Romanian mountain villages" tour in Dec 2025. Andreea was a wonderful guide and our whole family (2 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 10) enjoyed this tour. We added on the tour of Bran castle which was fun and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Then we hiked around the castle, went out for lunch (which was delicious and in an adorable tiny mountain village) and then hiked through a beautiful ravine in the national park. The whole time, Andreea told us about Romanian culture and history. She did a great job of making the tour fun and interesting for both the adults and kids. She even offered to bring her dogs on the hike and I'm so glad she did, as it kept the kids much more engaged in hiking.

Charlie was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable about Bran Castle and the Fortress. The level of detail he knows and how to answer about those two places and the towns around it. Absolutely amazing!! Loved every bit of it.

Very professional guides and good vibes
Carol (Charlie) and Marian were so nice to us. We booked the tour from Brasov being in Bucharest and they helped us a lot by finding the train to go there so we couldn't miss the tour. Carol, the tour guide, was so charming and funny, you could be talking with him and laughing at the same time. We were with a small Portuguese family of three with whom we were so comfortable, it was all in "petit comité" as we say in Spain, we all had a lot of connection and the tour was even better than expected.

Lovely short hike at Seven Ladders Canyon
I had a great morning with Alex and Dan on this short hike along the seven ladders canyon. We had a small group of 4 and could take breaks as necessary. Remember to bring cash for the admission to the actual canyon itself (25 RON at the time of writing). Pickup from the hotel was prompt and communication was good via WhatsApp! Would absolutely do another hike with them in future when I visit Transylvania again
