Hiking, Biking and Caving in Romania

The trip was absolutely phenomenal, no other words to describe it. A hard mountain climb, but full of history and incredible views. If you enjoy hiking and mountain climbing, this is hands down the trip for you. Litochoro was a beautiful little mountain town for getting acquainted with your tour group, before a beautiful hike. The views from the mountain lodge are simply incredible, you can see through the valley right to the ocean on a clear day.

This trip is in a great location with a great host and food. The area is beautiful with its views and lots of peace and quiet. The location is very remote with a few friendly stray dogs for company. Cornelia will really look after you with LOTS of food. Be prepared to eat a lot but low levels of activity.

This was an amazing trip. Beautiful surroundings, great accommodation and tasty, locally produced food. Our guide Andrei was very knowledgeable, great fun and considerate to our needs, which helped make the trip. I highly recommend.

We were led by Tic who is a highly experienced, enthusiastic and personable guide. We explored the stunning Romanian outdoors and fitted in a lot of activities within a short space of time without feeling rushed. The accommodation at Florian house was fantastic, and eating delicious traditional food every day was an unexpected highlight of the trip! The hosts were friendly, regularly treated us to snacks and were flexible when it came to switching our itinerary to suit local weather conditions. Want to go back again in future...

Hosts were really good, knowledgeable and fun loving! They gave us a real taste of Romania. Food was good, especially given that we were vegetarian - particularly the tasty soups. This is all before we even get to the awesome views on the hikes and in the caves 👌

Wonderful hospitality with beautiful people who are so keen to show you their part of the world.

Wild camping and beautiful countryside were great.

Our guide was great, really made the whole experience. Food was delicious, rooms were good

Everything was great! We walked straight out of the airport and was greeted and from then on we were looked after so well. Everything organised, but at the same time always adapted to what we preferred to do. The accommodation was immaculate, and our host always ensured we were fed well, with produce from their farm. And our guide made it the most educational, but also entertaining trip possible. Would highly recommend this trip.

The tour guide was very experienced in the local area and caves, and the food was delicious.

Tic was a very knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour and very safety conscious.

Andrei was a great host - his day job is ecological management and he knows everything about the forests and caves. We saw yellow-bellied frogs, salamanders, wolves (just kidding, but we did find wolf poo), horseshoe bats and much more. The caves are spectacular, particularly the one with the spiky ceiling. Andrei is happy to adapt the trip depending on your energy and what activities you prefer. We also enjoyed having some beers, and wine, and sour cherry brandy, and chat each evening. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable, and the food is good (and served in huge portions). Everything is covered in the cost except for some drinks if you want to bring any. All in all, a great way to spend a weekend and it definitely convinced us to come back to Romania some time. Thank you Andrei!

Accommodation, food, guide knowledge and demeanour were great.

Nice accommodation, knowledgeable and fun guide, good home-cooked food and fun range of activities.

The entire trip was amazing! Our guide Tic was friendly, knowledgeable and a great laugh. The trip gave you a taster of several different caves, hiking and cycling. The food was delicious, home-cooked, and different every day. I would highly recommend this trip!

The hosts, the food, the accommodation, the scenery and the activities were all amazing.

This is a fantastic trip! Tic is so wonderful, energetic, kind, and hospitable. We had a nice range of activities that were all flexible to group preferences, and really comfortable accommodation in the beautiful Romanian countryside.

Tic the guide was fantastic, biking, caves and hiking were all really good.

Amazing local food, awesome guide Tic and really fun activities all for a really reasonable price.

Everything was great! It exceeded all my expectations.

The activities, the food and the scenery were great.

Ease of transport, the guide was excellent, activities were fun and there was never a boring moment. This trip really made you feel a part of the culture. The best weekend adventure break I have ever been on.

The accommodation and the ladies at the guest house, and Axy our host were great.

Everything was great.

I had a really great time with a mix of adventure. Caving was very interesting, biking was just great fun with crossing river. All guides were amazing, obviously Tic is awesome, he is so passionate about his job, has a good sense of humor. And his "Hola" for photo pause was just sooo funny!

When I first had this trip recommended to me my first thought was "I'm not caving". Over the next few months I returned to the website on numerous occasions to read and re-read the trip notes and user reviews and was left feeling that I had to book it. I was very excited to visit Romania (having never been before), but what I really wanted to know was 'what are the caves like?'. I can tell you that it isn't highly technical (no previous experience necessary) and no submersion in water. Once you have experienced the very large spacious 'tourist' caves there are the locked-gate 'wild' caves. Stunning, exciting, beautiful and unforgettable.

I had read very complimentary reviews on our tour guide, Tic, who radiates a passion for Romania, the natural world and caving, and is a fabulous, thoughtful and kind leader. Our cook Cornelia kept us very well fed and watered and our accommodation was perfectly rustic!

One hundred percent do not miss the opportunity of experiencing this trip. The four days in this beautiful countryside was not very long yet it felt like we had been there for two weeks with an instant state of relaxation on our active break. It was like pressing CTL ALT Delete on our busy lifestyles.

Thank you to MBA for bringing this opportunity to us and to the tour company for putting together a fantastic trip!!

Super accommodating, couldn't be more helpful and love the location and activities. The caving and via ferrata were simply mind-blowing.

Our guide, Tic, made the trip. It was fantastic having someone so passionate about their country and the activities looking after us for the weekend. Nothing was too much trouble for Tic. Cornelia, our cook, was wonderful and helped to give us an authentic Romanian experience. The activities were great fun and everything was very well organised.

Everything was great. The itinerary was perfectly paced and always exciting, our guide was fantastic and interesting, our host looked after us well and cooked delicious food.

Great trip, excellent host in Tic, the man whose knows everything there is to know about well everything & a beautiful country well worthy of exploration. I was 1 of 5, travelling alone, who fancied something a bit different to the usual weekend of hiking. After a couple of days being fed by Cornelia (the best chef in Romania) & downing a shot of Palinka at almost every opportunity, let me tell you it was definitely different! I would have loved to do more of the caving & in particular technical caving but overall it was worth it. It wasn't too strenuous but I certainly had a sore rear end after cycling amongst the picturesque countryside. I also managed to make friends with every dog we passed, of which there are many (tip: they love a belly rub!). If you don't want something too active but active enough to indulge in Cornelia's feast, this is ideal. Tic, our guide, was astounding. Definitely one of my favourites so far.
