My partner and I shared a good days hiking with our excellent guide Radu, who shared his knowledge of the outdoors and Romanian culture. The trek was well-matched to our overall ability and took in various points of interest, with a chance to study the local flora and fauna.

Our hike with Valentin was great. He picked us up in a modern car from Brasov and drove us to Zarnesti. We hiked for a few hours, stopped at a hiker’s cabana for lunch (they serve hot food), then we finished by walking through the amazing Zarnesti Canyon. Valentin was so friendly - he talked about his childhood and his career and answered our many questions about Romania. He really made the experience special and I would highly recommend the tour. The hike can be tailored to you based on experience, age, fitness etc. so is suitable for everyone.
