Travel with a private guide from Bucharest to Sinaia, hike across the Bucegi Plateau toward Omu Hut, sleep in the mountains, and visit Bran Castle. Andrew and Dima have guided this route, adapting the trek to weather, fitness, and trail conditions.

“Andrew was brilliant and attentive to all our needs - he knew the area so well which really helped when I had an injury and had to take a more gentle route down. We are not terribly experienced hikers but would say it was a moderate hike. The landscape was stunning and the cabin we stayed in Padina was comfortable with good food. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about Romania and its history, and gave us a very detailed overview of the area which made the castles all the more interesting. We really appreciated how personalised the tour was and had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!”
