Testimonials – words from our guests

Jocki from Gemany, hiking in Bucegi mountains!The best advertisement is a happy customer, and we have a continuously growing list of the kind.

We are guiding people in the Romanian mountains since 1999 – be it for hiking, trekking, mountaineering, ski-touring and freeride skiing, and – in the more recent years – mountain biking. All in all they were a few good hundreds, and some  of them were kind enough to write testimonials about their experiences in Romania. You can read their words and thoughts in this section of the website.
