Mountain therapy

5.00Wow! What an amazing experience! We booked a last minute hike with Adrian. We were a little nervous as we are not the fittest of people. He collected us and took us to the mountains and went at our pace. And was so informative and patient. By the time we got to the top - well, not the top but our reaching point. We were blown away by the views we saw! We’ve never seen such beauty. We finished the day with a real sense of accomplishment. I called it mountain therapy because Adrian’s insights and the beauty of the mountain just unlocked something in us. To release everything and talk it all out into the tall trees. It was healing, transformative and just so so so magical. Thank you again Adrian for such a wonderful day 🗻
Great hiking experience even for beginners!

5.00Adrian was a great guide, very knowledgeable and generous with sharing various information. The easiest hiking path is of moderate difficulty for someone who doesn’t exercise much, and the pace is catered to your abilities. It is a scenic hike with a very rewarding view at the end! Adrian also took us to his dad’s restaurant after the hike, which had the best papanas and veal stew! Overall, highly recommended!

5.00The hike was stunning, the weather was on our side and Adrian our host planned a route that was tailored to what we wanted from out hike. We came across a beer along the way, and Adrian was great at keeping us calm and giving us space between the bear to watch this amazing animal being in their natural habitat. We spent a full day exploring and we got to visit two peaks. All the colours from the trees were at the beggining of changing colour so we got so many beautiful pictures along the way.
Simply brilliant

5.00Great value for money and exceeded expectations beyond belief! Adrian was great company and very knowledgeable about the task at hand and as well as a wide range of Romanian history topics. He provides many other services besides the hike that I would strongly consider. Many thanks again Adrian! I had the best time and hopefully more people can experience the same.

5.00I’d like to share our impressions about guided hike in Bucegi mountains with Adrian. He is a great, experienced, friendly and easy to communicate guide. He picked us up from our place and drove back the same afterwards. We went for a pretty hard, but spectacular trail to Brâna Caprelor, staying for a while and having lunch at Cabana Malaiesti(not so reach in variety but so delicios after a long hike food), the amazing valet with picturesque view. Highly recommend Adrian as your guide for hike and interesting person to talk and share experience and emotions.
Highly recommended

5.00The hiking tour was exceptional! Adrian's extensive knowledge of Romanian history, the local plants and animals, and the various trails in the park was impressive. He picked us up on time, and moved on from the rest stops only when the group was rested and ready. He was patient and thoroughly attentiveness to the group's need. Great value. Highly recommended!

5.00Adrian is great, and I highly recommend him for any hiking / non-hiking tours. He knows a lot about Romanian history and is interesting to talk to; flexible in planning (even on short notice); helpful and happy to answer questions. We did a day hike in Bucegi from Brasov, and Adrian was good at tailoring / adjusting plans as needed. He has a good sense of humor and was patient when I was slow. I spent about two weeks in Romania, and the hike / conversation with Adrian was one of the highlights.
Amazing Hiking Tour in the Carpatian Mountains

5.00I booked the 1-day hiking tour in Bucegi Natural Park with Adrian and had a wonderful day: Pristine nature, spectacular panoramic views from the mountains and a silence that is hard to experience in Central Europe. Adrian was a great guide who did not only show the way, but individualized the tour according to my preferences and my physical fitness, I wouldn't have found and made this hike by myself. Not to mention his thorough explanations of the natural park and the insight into everyday life and history of Romania that he gave me. His good sense of humor made the sometimes strenuous hike go easier. I highly recommend this tour for both individual travelers and groups at all levels of hiking experience who want to experience nature and love the mountains.
