5.00It is a tour to do absolutely, to see beyond the city of Bucharest, and learn about small local production realities. Everything perfect, our GELU Guide, made us take an adventurous hike to the riverbed! He prepared a picnic with local specialties (in fact lunch at 5 pm was almost useless😀) Maybe we thought we would see a longer and more spectacular part of the famous Transfăgărășan.
