1.Piatra Craiului National Park Private Hiking Tour from Brasov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $126Our pick

Review of a private Piatra Craiului hike from Brasov, with route choices, guide tips, costs, difficulty, Bran Castle, and practical advice.

“Bogdon led this hike through the beautiful park. I was afraid of bears and he told me about the very interesting history of Romania to get my mind off of them. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history, the people, etc. The scenery is breathtaking and we had lunch had a little cafe in the middle of nowhere that had the most wonderful soup I think I've ever had. I would recommend this hike to anyone visiting Brasov. And, no, we didn't see any bears.”

Hike 1,480 steps to Poenari Fortress, visit Curtea de Argeș Monastery and Vidraru Dam on a private mountain trip from Bucharest.

“This tour wasn’t part of our original plan, but with almost everything closed in Bucharest for Easter, we decided to book it last minute – and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The nature was absolutely stunning, and spotting the bears was an unforgettable experience! Even though the Poenari Fortress was closed, our guide adjusted the route, taking us into the mountains instead, where we enjoyed some beautiful views. It felt like a real adventure, and we came back with amazing photos and memories.”

“The day we went we drove through thick fog and arrived in a downpour. Alex offered to drive us to the lake and waterfalls rather than hike in the rain. We were dead set on hiking so we hiked. The hike is moderately challenging and through a beautiful forest along the gorge. The color of the lake, even in the rain, was beautiful. We then hiked to the waterfall which was truly beautiful. Alex provided a wonderful lunch and snacks along the way. He filled us in on information about the area. As we returned on the hike the sun came out to warm us up and give us a…”

You get to see some of the Bulgaria country side which is nice. Our tour guide Roxana was fantastic. Great personality and worked hard to add information about both Romania and Bulgaria to the tour and experience I definitely recommend this tour. .”

Hike Romania’s Bucegi and Piatra Craiului mountains from Brasov, with a guide, village stays, sheep-farm lunch, and hearty local meals.

“I made the 4-day active tour as sole client with Bogdan as guide, who picked me up in his car and drove us to Magura. He also delivered me back at my hotel in Brasov at the end of the tour. . The routes followed tracks taking in the Curmatura and Grind huts and the rocky side of Piatra Craiului. I was very pleased with the routes we made although the tracks were often continuously steep in difficult forest trails, equally demanding on leg muscles both up and down. We typically made about 16 km and 600-800 m altitude in 5-7 hours. The weather was cool and occasionally damp. One…”

“The tour guide never showed up. I was unable to contact the tour operator via Any means (email, phone, viator app). I spent 2 hrs online with Viator customer service. They were unable to contact the tour operator. The tour operator never contacted myself or viator to explain or rebook. Never the less viator refused to refund the money (again despite viator also being unable to contact the tour operator) forcing me to file a claim with my credit card company to get the refund (which my credit card company immediately refunded after I sent them the whatsapp chat with viator customer service.) .Don't take this tour or use this…”
