5.00We took a day trip with Nicolas to visit his father's nomad apiary. Lovely experience! fully recommend, if you enjoy nature, bees, exceptional honey and good stories. It was an 8hr drive (both ways)! and we were very comfortable in Nicolas's top-of-the-line van, safe driving, lovely scenary, on time pick-up. Overall a 5 star experience. Also loved the traditional Romanian food included in the tour, best meat I have eaten in years! my only regret is not being able to make mamaliga as good as Mr. Nicolae! Make sure to buy a big bottle of each type of honey! incredible flavour and texture 10/10.
The best choice to explore nature in Romania

5.00We wanted to see how it’s beekeeping in Romania and we’ve found online Nicolas Experience Tours. From the beginning till the end of day trip we had the feeling that we did the best choosing though travel company. Nicolas was great, his parents as well. We understand why bees are so important to humanity and why Romania has one of the best honey in the word. Can’t thank you enough, Nicolas!
Cant wait to go back next year ♥️

5.00If you love nature, bees, organic bio produse, and admirable people that dedicate their life to sustainable businesses, you will LOVE this tour. We booked a day trip to visit the bees with our guide Nicolas, he picked us up on time in a top of the line vehicule, drove safely and made quick stops when needed for bathroom visits. We had a lovely time, he answered all our questions and shared incredible stories about the honey industry, personal bee keeping adventures, and beekeepers in Romania and abroad, plus treated us to some artisanal romanian pretzels that were delicious. The drive from Bucharest to the location where the bees were was mind blowing: views of rivers, mountains, forests and villages. Romania has nothing to envy other countries in regards to natural beauty. After 4hrs we arrived to the bees location. Nicolas's father has been a nomad bee keeper for almost 40 years, spending spring and summer taking the bees to areas of Romania where they can find organic, pesticides free, flowers of all kinds, carefully ensuring the bees are able to produce enough honey for their own needs to grow healthy colonies and survive the winter, plus a surplus that Mr. Nicolas senior gathers to provide people like me and you with honey, bee wax, royal jelly and more. Nothing is wasted. Additionally, they are always available to rescue bees in need and adopt them into their colonies. I spent time with the bees, saw them carry polen back to their hives, learned a bunch of new info, and the biggest gift was to see a queen bee (I admit I cried a little). It was a beautiful experience to see such a loving collaborative relationship between Mr. Nicolas, the bees, nature, and his dogs, that protect him every night from bears craving honey, curious wolves and all wild life. I left inspired, in love and motivated to continue supporting small businesses, buying local, exploring nature, and learning from people like Mr. Nicolas. Do yourself a favor, reach out to Nicolas and book this tour for next spring! they gifted us 2 small jars of honey and we bought 3 big jars of different kinds, and after trying it at home, my husband and I suspect we had never eating pure real honey before, this is what Mana is made of. If you are as lucky as us, Mr. Nicolas will make for you mamaliga and roasted pork (grown and raised by him), served with bio cow cheese made by a friend of his in the mountains, plus a few shots of suica, also made by Mr. Nicolas himself. It was the best meat I have eaten in the past +6 years and the richest licor. Cant wait to go back next year ♥️ see you with the bees!
