          Exceptional ski instructor!
          I had an absolutely amazing experience with Romina. She was highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. Romina made learning to ski so much fun while ensuring safety and building confidence on the slopes. Her ability to break down complex techniques into simple, manageable steps was remarkable, and the lesson was tailored to suit our skill level and learning pace. By the end of my sessions, I felt like mpre confident, in control, and thoroughly enjoying myself. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, I cannot recommend Romina highly enough.

          A Must in Brașov!
          I can’t say enough great things about Day Trips Brașov. Ramona is incredibly well organized and extremely knowledgeable. I also had Hea as a guide who was terrific. I used Day Trips Brașov for three private tours. The first was Bran Castle and Pestera Mountain Villages, the second Peleș Castle and the Bucegi Natural Park and the third was the full day Pestera hike. All three I would highly recommend. They are the perfect mix of history in the region and natural beauty.

          Loved it
          Ramona is very knowledgeable and able to communicate it. Her guidance helps you to understand and connect all, and is also very practical because she knows where to stay longer and which parts better to go faster or even avoid (eg the ultra long line for the tunnel of time in the Bran Castle) which saves time and money. She gave clear instructions before the tour, as purchasing tickets in advance is very helpful to skip the lines. Despite being a sunny Saturday in the summer holidays, we did not wait in line in any castle, nor in the traffic. The Pelles and Bran castles are classics, and worth the visit. Since the Rasnov ruins were closed, we went to the Wednesday castle. The views from there are absolutely stunning! Pictures Incredible!!

          Beautiful castles, surroundings and in expert hands with this tourguide
          Each castle is unique and important in Romanias history. Not only the castles but also the surroundings are stunning. We made dozens of pictures that day. Our guide Ramona found the perfect balance of information. She takes her time, brings a map and explains the relevant history in a clear way that kept full attention of all of our group. Every time before we went to a new place, we all sat down in a quiet place and she would talk and answer our questions. We could even enjoy drinks during these talks. Ramona gives freedom but stays in control to deal with times which is essential to avoid long lines. Very safe driver too!

          Once in a lifetime experience: the magnificent Transfagarasan Road
          I took this tour with Ramona, she is always there for me from the beginning since I booked this tour until the drop off, prompt and attentive to answer my questions. She told me many interesting stories about Romania histories while we take a drive to Carpathian Mountains. We are very lucky to encounter with brown bears along the way to the lake! The scenery throughout the entire journey is beyond your imagination and to top it off when you arrive at the lake, the view there could take your breath away! Ramona guide me for a walk around the lake and give me suggestion about what food should I try. We dine at the area near the lake which is amazing. The bonus stop of this trip you could pick one for yourself, I choose to go to Carta Monastery, a hidden gem for ancient history lover. I really encourage everyone to go on this trip once in your lifetime not only because of the beauty you will see in Transylvania nature and places but as the road has limited access, opens only for a short summer period (Jun-Sep/Oct) and only if the weather conditions is permitted, if you got a chance, do not hesitate to join this magnificent experience with Ramona!

          Awesome excursion- Highly Recommended
          Ramona was an excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable, went out of her way to ensure we had a great time. We were not rushed and she spent time explaining the history and culture. I would highly recommend using Ramona. We were looked after from the minute she picked us up until she dropped us off.

          Extremely nice and knowledgeable tour guide Andrei
          Our guide Andrei was very nice, was at the meeting point on time and very considerate towards our group of six. Made sure we were in the shade every tine we stopped to listen to his talk and look at the landmark. He was extremely knowledgeable. Maybe a bit more walk would have been even better, but then it depends some people prefer to walk less. We like to see as much as possible. Nevertheless, Andrei was extremely nice, respectful and knowledgeable.

          My family and friends had an amazing two days with our tour guide, Ramona. We had a great mix of city, culture and nature. Highly recommend the Emerald Lake Tour and Sibiu. Ramona was friendly, knowledgeable and a fantastic driver. This area of Romania was the highlight of our trip.

          Very enjoyable day
          Really enjoyed our day trip with Ramona to Pestera and Bran Castle . We really like walking so was refreshing to be out of the city and taking in some beautiful country views. Ramona had first hand knowledge of the area so was a good walk. Bran Castle is one of those places you go to when in Transylvania. We already had a bit of knowledge about the castle and it was also a relief to know Ramona was not going to add to the myth but was informative about its origins.

          We spent the day with Ramona. She took us to Sighisoara and Viscri, both UNESCO world heritage sites. She is an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Her English is excellent. She was very flexible throughout the day and we never felt rushed. I highly recommend her!!

        I highly recommend a day trip to Magura and Pestera with Ramona. The views were incredibly beautiful and the mountainous villages were lovely and authentic. We got to see a lot of domestic animals on our way and
        stopped for a chat with occasional farmers we happened to meet on the trail. The picnic that was organised by Ramona was lovely, amidst stunning views of the mountains. Ramona was punctual, professional and attentive, and I highly recommend her as a guide.

        Such a beautiful, wonderful hike. Our hiking leader, Ramona, was so attentive to our needs. She tailor-made our hike just for us, just the right length, speed and length. She took us to picturesque villages and remote stunning mountain views. Can’t recommend Ramona enough.

        We were looking for a day trip that our children’s can join too, 8 and 10 years old. This was such a fun hike for the little ones. The guide personalized our tour to be shorter then usually from what I understood, so the kids can keep up, instead we make more brakes and play time. On the way we visited a bats cave, saw couple of lizards, cats, plenty of sheep’s, horses and cows, all this keep our children’s very entertain. We really loved the combination of pure nature, low difficulty walking paths and easy going village life.
        Thank you Day Trips Brasov for such a great experience!

        We hiked the trails around the village of Pestera that our guide knew about because she recently lived in the village. The countryside was beautiful and we saw the rural side of life. We drove to Maugura and hiked overlooking mountain cow pastures and into the national forest. Our guide Ramona adapted the trip to our group and was informative and friendly and helped us understand the land we were traveling through. We had a wonderful time and would love to hike with Ramona again.

        An amazing guided tour by Ramona, through some of the most beautiful countryside. Ramona got us to ground ourselves during the walk by taking our boots off and walking barefoot through the countryside which was an exhilarating experience!

        We also had the pleasure of a guided tour by Radu, to Bran Castle and surrounding area which was wonderful, with Radu with every step of the way imparting his extensive knowledge of the area! Radu who used to be a professional photographer, ensured we were taken to best vantage points in order to take photographs!!!

        We are mountain lovers and want to discover the best that this world has to offer. For us, one of the best hiking areas we’ve ever been to was in the Pestera and Magura Villages in Romania. You might wonder why I’m saying “hiking” in the same sentence with “villages”? Well, because those two villages are truly unique, and something we have never seen before: they are mountain villages, next to each other, but in order to get from one to another you need to be ready to walk/hike even! We basically arrived in Pestera by car (Ramona, our lovely guide, picked us up) and then the hiking tour began, which took us about 6 hours to finish. The pace was calm, we took many pictures and even had time to eat lunch. You have to take your lunch with you. Ramona said that sometimes, locals are able to help with a traditional meal but we didn’t choose this option this time. We want to say a big thank you for this wonderful hiking experience!

        This was such a great day spend in the rural area of Transylvania. We been couple of times in Romania but didn’t get to really know it until this tour. Experience nature and village life, seeing the locals at daily work surrounded by amazing landscapes, beautiful houses spread all over the hills, sheep’s, cows and horses grazing everywhere can probably describe the best this amazing tour, not to forget the view over the 2 national parks. Our guide even knew some of the locals and we were been able to ask those questions, this was simply awesome.
        Ramona is such a great Host. Recommend without doubt !
        Thank you very much for this tour and looking forward to return!

        I did 2 day tours with Ramona and both were excellent! Upfront communication was fast and easy. Ramona has a very friendly, laid back style which makes her an excellent guide. The hike was amazing - gorgeous scenery and wild landscape with a picnic lunch. We only saw a handful of people on the trail all day. The pictures were spectacular and she took a lot of me which I really appreciated as a solo traveller.

        The second day, we toured Bran Castle, the Bear sanctuary and had a wonderful lunch with different Romanian dishes. She helped select the most unique and delicious dishes. Brasov is a fabulous part of Romania, a real gem with so much natural beauty. Ramona’s company offers so much flexibility and different options to see this beautiful region. I would highly recommend!

        Ramona was the best guide I could have ever asked for. She is kind and patient and passionate and can adapt the intensity of the hike to anybody's needs. It's perfect for regular hikers and also for families with kids. The villages we visited were magnificent, and we had little breaks and picnics in the most beautiful parts. We saw lots of animals on the mountains too! I only had 2 days in Romania, and I'm glad I chose to spend the most of it hiking with Ramona. It feels like a gorgeous adventure with a friend! She also takes great photos:) Thank you so much Ramona!
