12-Day Self-guided cycle tour in Transylvania “Just a short note to thank you for the brilliant time we had in Romania. I particularly enjoyed the system of staying in pensiunea....a wonderful way to find out about the country and its people. Thank you also for the decorated eggs which your father gave us at the airport. The events at Cisnadioara were, for us, part of the adventure, but others may be less tolerant! Personally I feel Romania still has much to offer and would like to return some time, maybe to explore the Maramures or perhaps ski-ing!” Clare P., UK, August 2009. 8-Day Self-guided walk in the Carpathian mountains “Accommodation, meals and guidance were excellent! We enjoyed walking each day in the beautiful setting of mountains and small farms! It was a great trip! ” Elisabeth G., USA, July 2011. “We loved our hike in the Carpathian Mountains and would thoroughly recommend it. The following are our thoughts and suggestions in no particular order. We chose a hike where we didn't have to carry our luggage for two reasons - 1. none of us like carrying heavy packs, and 2. two in the party were continuing traveling so had cases that were not just for a week in Romania. All the pensions were delightful, as were the patrons. In Pensiunea Garofita in Zarnesti, the food was very good and we loved making our own picnics at breakfast. We always felt taken care of and looked after. Mr Florin was a delightful addition. A charming man, who, despite the deluge, trotted up with his pony and wagon, and cheerfully transported us to the B&B. He was an example of the strong contrast between old and new - the scythe alongside the BMW. We would have loved him to take us back to our starting point the next morning (when it wasn't raining!). A great trip and we look forward to hiking again with you.” Elizabeth, July 2009. 9-Day Guided walk in Bukovina and Maramures " Thank you so much to the team at Romania Active for organizing an amazing adventure for me. Dealing with your company was a pleasure from the outset; responsive, reliable, comprehensive information, a personal welcome at the airport in Bucharest, accommodation which was like home away from home, and no problem with language! I could not have asked for more. Experiencing the beauty of the Bucovina and Maramures countryside in such great company, enjoying the generous and comfortable hospitality of the warm and wonderful Romanian people, and the exquisite experience of a lifestyle long gone in other parts of the world. What an amazing adventure this was! It would not have been possible without your intimate knowledge of the people to visit, the places to see, the tracks to walk, and your skilled organisation increasing the experience. Please thank Francois also for his professionalism and charm in guiding the walk" Merylin N., Australia, June 2011. " What can I say - our trip to Romania under your guidance to the Maramures and Bucovina regions was absolutely fabulous. R. and I arrived home in Australia this morning at 3am after an eighteen hour flight from a very sunny and far too touristy Rome. I am just getting my life back on track but have to stop constantly to really ask myself if I really did go to far north Romania to walk the beautiful countryside and meet the most delightful "salt of the earth" people of those regions. Raluca ,thank you so very much. Your service was excellent and you as a person are a fine and very proud Romanian who it has been a privilege to have met. All of us feel the same - I know!" Marshall W., Australia, September 2011. 9-Day Self-guided cycle tour in Transylvania "We just wanted to say how impressed we were with the tour by bike in Romania. The accommodation was an excellent combination of family-run casas and hotels with excellent Romanian food, the maps were very good. A fascinating insight into Romanian life. For us part of the interest in coming to Romania is seeing what the communist era did. The trip was super and extremely enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend Romania Active to friends. Thanks for your help in retrieving our painting. We posted it at Brasov, so we'll see if makes it back to the UK." Richard S., July 2011, United Kingdom. |
