Our  Guests  About Us

• We would like to thank you for helping us to find a hotel when we lost our passport. We particularly appreciated the fact that Dan and Michaela left a mobile phone number for emergencies and that Dan phoned in the evening. We sorted the matter and flew home yesterday.We also had a fantastic time with Andrei. We all really liked him, we had quite an adventure, he got on well with our children, Elpha and Jackson,  and he had a great sense of humour too.  I really was not fit enough for the cycling and struggled on the hills but he was really encouraging and made sure that I was safe. The Delta trip was amazing, He was so interested in the birds and this made us enthusiastic too, even the Children!! Also he gave us an insight into Romanian history, culture and music. The accommodation was lovely too and the food amazing at the house we stayed at.We were so impressed that we will write to the Rough Guide to Romania in order to hopefully get them to mention your company when this is next printed.Regards,

  Melissa Perkins

• We just got back from our trip to Romania.
  I wanted to tell you how great the team of guides were that we were with. Radu, Mihai and Mr. Vasile were tremendous. Radu was excellent at explaining Romanian history and Mihai was a great hiking guide. It was the right mix of hiking and sightseeing and Mr. Vasile was always there to pick us up. They were all very professional but we feel like we got to know each of our guides in a personal and professional way. Since there were 6 of us we had the luxury of being slow hikers and the guides were very patient.
  It was a nice mix of hiking & a historical perspective of Romania. Mr. Vasile is an excellent driver, Radu a great historian & Mihai was wonderful at. (leading) us. I miss them already!
  Romania was a beautiful country and I hope we can make the trip back there again.
  Sincerely,
  Kathy Marcus (USA) In May-June 2006 Kathy and five of her friends took a shorter, 8 days version of Transylvanian Myth and History that we promote to american tourists thru our partner at Pure Adventures.

• Dear Outdoor Holidays,
  I would like to thank you for the great service you provided me during my short trip in Romania. I had particular objectives to achieve and only four days in which to do so. With the help of my guide and translator, Zota Radu, my objectives were far exceeded. I have nothing but praises for his professionalism, and respect for his ability to communicate in a fashion that allowed me to enter personal and commercial environments with confidence and comfort. The man is a true asset to the field of turism. Thanks again and I look forward to my next trip to Romania.
  Best regards from Boston,
