The views were amazing, we had some great food and even had time to play in the snow. Sebastian is an excellent driver, he drove impeccable through fog and snow and he is a fountain of knowledge. Thank you so much for these beautiful memories!

We were picked up promply by our tour guide Mircea and found that we were the only ones on the tour so this ended as a private tour which meant we had lots of opportunities to stop, take photos, ask questions and learn lots about the beautiful mountain area and history of Romania. Our tour guide worked tirelessly to make sure our trip went smoothly, this is a long day trip so we appreciated this effort from Mircea, especially with just a small two person group. We would certainly reccomend this trip to others

This trip and our main guide were fantastic! He had a wealth of knowledge of the area, and we saw 13 bears! The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of our extra driver. We had too many in the group for just one vehicle so some of us had to ride with another driver. He was very nice but the trip home was a little scary. He seemed to be bored of driving, so was surfing on his phone once we got on the main roads. This seemed to be a pattern with some of my drivers, as some countries are not as strict about using a cell phone while driving. However, at one point, he was actually watching videos while driving!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Viator really needs to put a stop to this!

Wonderful experience! We didn’t get to make to the top of the road due to the snow, but I’d 100% recommend it.

Sebastian is an expert and funny guide, able to entertain the group with anecdotes on the more wild part of Romania.

The only sour note is that we didn’t see any bear due to hibernation

Sebastian delivered one of the best tour days I have ever experienced. His information was timely and clear and he picked our group up promptly. A full-day trip seemed much shorter due to his outstanding pacing and breaks, rest stops, knowledge and arrangement of wonderful views of the countryside, mountains and wildlife, and seemingly inexhaustible fund of information. He conducted our tour with generosity, humor and patience, and delivered all to their destinations personally.

I cannot recommend this organization and Sebastian too highly. Americans, take note especially: This is a grand tour for you.
