We did the "Small-Group Day tour in Romanian mountain villages" tour in Dec 2025. Andreea was a wonderful guide and our whole family (2 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 10) enjoyed this tour. We added on the tour of Bran castle which was fun and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Then we hiked around the castle, went out for lunch (which was delicious and in an adorable tiny mountain village) and then hiked through a beautiful ravine in the national park. The whole time, Andreea told us about Romanian culture and history. She did a great job of making the tour fun and interesting for both the adults and kids. She even offered to bring her dogs on the hike and I'm so glad she did, as it kept the kids much more engaged in hiking.

Charlie was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable about Bran Castle and the Fortress. The level of detail he knows and how to answer about those two places and the towns around it. Absolutely amazing!! Loved every bit of it.

Carol (Charlie) and Marian were so nice to us. We booked the tour from Brasov being in Bucharest and they helped us a lot by finding the train to go there so we couldn't miss the tour. Carol, the tour guide, was so charming and funny, you could be talking with him and laughing at the same time. We were with a small Portuguese family of three with whom we were so comfortable, it was all in "petit comité" as we say in Spain, we all had a lot of connection and the tour was even better than expected.

The tour guide Dan was excellent, punctual, super knowledgeable, kind, friendly, patient. Very cool history lessons with awesome views! Highly recommended, as these places are a must visit if you’re in Brasov! Thank you Dan!

I did the Romanian Authentic Mountain Villages day tour from Brasov and it was excellent! Charlie, the guide, was friendly and personable and communication with him and the company was seamless. Really enjoyed the tour and it was a great way to spend the day. Highly recommend!

Saw three wild bears in the forest. Exciting walk in to the hideout. Experienced guide with knowledge of bears and skills to communicate.

I had a great morning with Alex and Dan on this short hike along the seven ladders canyon. We had a small group of 4 and could take breaks as necessary. Remember to bring cash for the admission to the actual canyon itself (25 RON at the time of writing). Pickup from the hotel was prompt and communication was good via WhatsApp! Would absolutely do another hike with them in future when I visit Transylvania again

We had a great walking tour with Charlie!
Fun, informative, interesting!

I took a private tour with Mihai in the Bucegi Mountains, and it was outstanding! We spent 9 hours hiking through different valleys and honestly could have gone for more. He knows the right paths to take, how to find some beautiful spots and how to keep you safe amid fears of bears. If you ever need a guide, Mihai is the guide you want.

Charlie was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the history and culture here. He struck the perfect balance between guiding and giving us space to explore, and his stories really brought the places to life.

He was really helpful with an elderly couple who who were apart of the group, he ensured no one was rushed when visiting the Bran Castle. I highly recommend this trip.

We had an excellent experience with Active Travel in Romania. We were a group of 7 people from Latvia, and we spent 5 days in Romania. These days, we have seen a lot, and also spent some days in the mountain area. I can say that our guide, Charlie, is a huge professional, and we can 100% recommend him. He is not just a great professional, but also a great person. Thanks, Active Travel, for our days in Romania!

The guides are the best part of the different tour. There were very politie, enjoyable, and nice persons.

The explained us a lot of history of the diferente castles (Peles, Cantacuzino, Bran…).

They also made us feel comfortable, helping us in any moment. We highly recommend all the tours.

Great hiking experience. Challenging terrain in some parts making it all the more fun. Like the idea of small groups and the ladder climbing was amazing. 👍

Had a wonderful experience with tour guide T.B on the Mountain Village hike!

Everything was perfect. We wish that there were more guides than Dan. He was very authentic, careful (in regards to driving and travel sickness of one of the passengers) and could answer all our questions.
We can recommend this tour with Dan.

We had a great experience with Active Travel. We both really enjoyed out tour to Bran castle and Rasnov Fortress. Our tour guide Charlie is one of the best tour guides we ever met. He is very professional, knowledgeable and has a good sense of humour. He works in relaxed but efficient manner. I would definitely recommend tours offered by this company.

Great bear tour! We saw 5 bears and the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It was such a nice day and a sophisticating view!
First stop was Bran Castle, I really loved it, I went there two times now and I can really recommend it.
The weather was a bit mixed so we had the option to do another hike through a stunning gorge. So we did and it was very remarkable. After that we drove to the restaurant in a village on top of the mountains. It was truly special because of the view and also because of the traditional and local food. It was beautiful to get an impression of romanian culture. The tour guide Dan was really friendly and knows a lot of his country and Transylvania. I've learned a lot about the life in Romania and about the history and culture - I'm sure this was also the best expierience next to the beautiful sceneries. Thanks a lot for this beautiful trip!

O experienta minunată! Imediat ce am ajuns in padure si-a facut aparitia o vulpe apoi o ursoaica tânără,un urs tânăr, un urs foarte mare, o ursoaica cu pui ( puiul adorabil ) si inca o vulpe. Ghidul nostru Tiberiu ne-a explicat multe lucruri interesante despre modul acestora de viață.

Bear watching experience was good. We were lucky to see a bear. Our guide Robert was nice and very knowledgeable.
