We were a small group of 7 people plus the driver/tour guide. He gave as lot of information about rumanian history. Unfortunetaly, the citadel of poenari was closed tue renovation. On the way up to Transfagarasan highway we saw several bears next to the road, which was very cool. As well the scenery on top of the mountain was nice...but at the other site of the mountain was really foggy and the famous scenery of Transfagasaran was not visible. Mountain weather sometimes can suck.
Breathtaking!

Great guide. Funny and informative. Small group of 7. We also spotted 16 bear that day. But the view of Transfagarasan from the mountain is breathtaking.
One of the best tour in Romania.

So glad we chose this trip from all of those on offer because Alex our guide was excellent. He was really knowledgeable, informative and engaging so our journey passed really quickly as he talked to us about Romanian history and culture. Alex made us feel welcome and relaxed from the start. The day itself didn’t feel rushed and we had plenty of time at each of the stops. Would highly recommend this trip and Alex as guide. A worthwhile trip all round!!
