Top notch 4x4 guide in Romania

5.00My friends and I (group of 5) found Marius through TripAdvisor and Facebook. I reached out to him and he was very responsive, helpful, and organized. He planned an amazing 4x4 trip for us from Bucharest to the Carpathian mountains. Our adventure was 5 days long (4 nights) and included a lot of gorgeous trails and views as well as fun coffee breaks to soak it all in. I would definitely return and do it all again with Marius. He was a true gentleman and a great guide. He showed us a side of Romania that not many people get to see. Thank you, Marius :-) Highly recommend!!!

5.00Best off-road experience ever with the best guide and an amazing car ! It was a present for our marriage anniversary and it was the best thing to do together. Along the road we saw amazing landscapes and we found out interesting things about people, places and history . I can't way to choose another experience but this time more days and with our kids. For those like us who love the mountains but doesn't have the necessary preparation / knowledge / friends with knowhow 4x4Tours is the best solution to enjoy every moment out there in the amazing Romania mountains. P.S.: Mr. Marius helped me at 22:00 to organize the trip when I was hopeless to have this kind of experience in just few days. (I talked with him Tuesday night and on Saturday we were just on top of the mountains).

5.00What about going in one of the most beautiful places in Romania in a 4x4 tour together with your loved ones, in perfect sunny weather, and accompanied by Marius, the 4x4 Tours owner and our guide and eventually our friend? Marius did his best to offer us the best off-road experience including fun, adventure, accommodation, coffee, food, relaxation and even perfect weather (don't ask me how he did it..), good conversation, stressless and mind changing experience. .. We do recommend 4x4 Tours....if you want to feel life, pure nature and love.

5.00We have done many offroad trips for our business partners with this company, and we have been satisfied every time. The guides are professional, communicative, and they are great at cooperating with us. They can be flexible with changes in the program according to our needs, which is important for us, because our groups are very demanding.
