“We'd been to Brasov a couple of times before but it is amazing what you don't 'see' without a guide. We were even invited out for drinks by our guide but had booked a visit to see the bears so had to decline. Our guide had also been around during the '89 revolution so we got a real insight into that episode. Would have liked to go into the Black Church but ran out of time.”

So good to breathe the fresh air and to experience the farming and village life. Ramona, my guide, was excellent in providing great commentary and in ensuring that the hiking pace was very comfortable. She has a really good manner in her presentation - she listens and fully engages you in conversation.”
