Incredible experience and such a good price! Beautiful scenery, friendly tour guide and cute bears. Our tour guide said the tour is best with the most bears in July so bare that in mind.

Our trip was absolutely unforgettable! We had the chance to observe numerous bears, and when we reached the top of the mountain, the expansive blanket of snow was truly breathtaking. The sights throughout the entire journey were nothing short of spectacular. Victor proved to be an outstanding guide, consistently kind and incredibly knowledgeable. Many thanks for such a remarkable experience.

We really enjoyed this! Even though part of the road was closed, it was a beautiful journey. We saw foxes and of course the famous brown bears. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. Had lunch at an authentic Romanian restaurant with a beautiful view near the top of the mountain. We would highly recommend!

This is a tour that allows you to mainly admire the natural and mountainous beauties of Romania departing from Bucharest. Well organized tour managed with a small group in a minivan with driver who also acts as a guide. You cross a very beautiful road with vegetation. We are having reached an altitude of 1700 meters above it was not possible to go on a closed road... we saw a truly breathtaking landscape. The food we ate in the chalet recommended by the guide was excellent. On the way back, the fantastic surprise of 7 bears... it wasn't a given given that which in April may still be in hibernation. The guide Bodgan is very professional and friendly as well as an attentive driver. It is certainly a long tour but in my opinion it is unthinkable to come to Bucharest and not do it. Price in line with what is offered

The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We luckily seen 7 bears. The tourist guides experience of feeding apples to the bears got us a closeup of the bears.

Amazing views and a couple of bears! We couldnt get all the way to the top because of avalanches, but it hardly mattered, and is just a good excuse to come back and do it again in the summer! Our guide Bogdan was friendly and informative. The regular lunch spot was closed, but he found us an excellent alternative. All in all a lovely day, plenty of rest breaks and nice to be in the fresh mountain air.

First I want to thank Bogdan who is an INCREDIBLE guide. He is not only knowledgeable and passionate about Romania and its culture but he is so kind, patient, and understanding. From the beginning to the end of the tour, he made it such an amazing experience, one I will never forget. Even though we didn’t make it to the “top” it didn’t matter because we managed to see 5 bears and 1 fox and got to see where the green turned into snow (a winter wonderland). We were the only people on the road, taking in the nature, and have a shared experience. 10000% recommend this tour if you are in Romania!!!! 🇷🇴

It was a wonderful experience! If you go to Romania you can't miss it, amazing landscapes with uncontaminated nature.
We drove all the way through the woods and mountains and saw several bears up close.
Our guide Bogdan was exceptional: prepared, super kind and helpful, he allowed us to see the bears up close in complete safety, took beautiful photos and accompanied us on this wonderful itinerary.
We really couldn't
Ask for better!
