Very complete experience - Wonderful experience, our Tudor Guide always cared about our physical level and adapts the pace to it. Very complete route in which we saw many things and the landscape did not disappoint. It gave us a lot of information about its culture, nature and environment. Very interesting and 100% recommended

Best tour ever! - I couldn't have booked a better tour than this one in Roemenia! Tudor the tour guide was a simply lovely! He was really nice and had amazing story's about the landscape and in general! He pointed out some amazing highlights and was really helpful! The hike was beautiful too and I'll place it in my top 3 hikes of all time (and I have done a few). So if you have any doubts about booking it, just do it! I had an amazing time and when I'm back in roemenia I'll definitely come back for another tour from him!

Breathtaking views, splendid waterfalls and cute little train ride - A wonderful trip with Chrly tours. Tudor is an amazing guide. Took me through a mountain circuit in Scarita Summit. We visited the Sipote waterfall ( beautiful rocks and a mesmerizing waterfall). After we finished the circuit we headed to the waterfall Vânătările Ponorulu. The view while driving and getting to the top of the mountain was breathtaking. The waterfall was spectacular as it was very interesting because it had a pool (not accessible but nice view). And finished the trip with a very nice small train called Mocănița Apusenilor which is situated a little bit higher than the road so you can have a splendid view of the river Aries and the mountains.

Love it! Until next time! - We had the best time!!…as always! It is our 5th or 6th tour with Curly Guide Tours in the past four years and we keep coming back to them because they are just that awesome: professional, FUN!!, educational and relaxing. In this tour my family got to see amazing views while experiencing hiking the Apuseni Mountains. Tudor has the best personality and he is able to entertain all ages, even the very young explorers. If you decide to book a tour with Curly Guide Tours, I know you will have one of a kind experience to remember forever.

Magical experience, extraordinary landscape, great guidance! - My friend and I are not experienced hikers, and we just wanted a beautiful, slow, botanical hike with a focus on plants, nature and wildlife. Andrei was the perfect guide/host, adapting the pace and route to our rhythm and needs. He is very knowledable and easy going. It was a truly magical day that we will remember always! Thank you Andrei and Curly Guide Tours. I highly recommend this tour.

Great hike to magical waterfall - Had a fabulous day trekking with guide Tudor. Went up Apuseni through ancient forest to simply magical waterfall. Trail was off the beaten track (didn’t see anyone all day) but not challenging for fit hiker. Passed through wild flower meadows and to top it off saw a Golden Eagle. Tudor spoke perfect English and was passionate about his Country and the local ecology.

Beautiful - From the start to the end , it was an amazing one day trip . To go there , we passed some incredible remote villages and monasteries. The hike was incredible , literally in the middle of nowhere surrounding by mountains. Springtime means a lot of flowers and perfect conditions to enjoy the sport and the views. the hiking sandwich was delicious !

Special remote places on a private tour - Tudor was very nice and super knowledgeable! I was lucky to be solo with him, so he was able to tailor the trip for me - it was so special to be at these places on our own as opposed to being with a large group. Bad weather plus my lack of hiking boots prevented us from doing the large summit, but I’ll definitely be coming back for more with Tudor when I can!

Great Apuseni Experience - Tudor is very enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable, and especially about Transylvanian environment and nature. He was clear in his communication and made us feel like we were in good hands. The trail we did was of exquisite beauty. To top it all of, his wife prepared some delicious vegetarian sandwiches for us. We enjoyed every bit of the trip and recommend it to everyone!
