Begin your adventure with Poenari Fortress, built by Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) in 1456. Here we will not be able to enter the fortress but we will see it from the outside. Next is the massive engineering marvel of Vidraru dam, standing at 166 meters tall. Enjoy the stunning vistas of Vidraru Lake and the surrounding mountains while learning about the dam's role in Romania’s hydropower system. Travel along one of the world’s most spectacular roads, known as the “Road to the Sky.” Winding through the Carpathian Mountains, the Transfăgărășan offers hairpin turns, dramatic drops, and awe-inspiring views at every bend. We stop at the Capra waterfall to admire the beauty of the mountain. Conclude your tour at this glacial lake, nestled at 2,034 meters above sea level. Surrounded by rugged peaks, the lake offers an idyllic setting to relax, enjoy a traditional Romanian meal, or even take a dip in the cool alpine waters.

This was an absolutely amazing experience and really a highlight of my trip. Matei was a very safe driver and great guide. The stops were well spaced and interesting, so the 12 hours didn’t seem too long. We were so fortunate, we saw 13-14 bears, and 4 of them had cubs. Absolutely recommended, and I’ll definitely do it again if I get back to Romania
Great trip - best of our time in Romania

I would like to start the review by thanking Pavel (our guide) for the magnificent experience that he gave us. The first stop of the tour was at the dam, it had some beautiful views. After that, we started the ride along the road, through astonishing and lush forests. We were able to spot 12 bears! The last stop of the top gear road was near a waterfall with breathtaking views, it was cold but the silence and the landscape were magical. We ate in a restaurant, build like a wooden house/treehouse, with very good dishes, specially the meat. To sum up, thank you again for the experience and the explanations of the different places.
Stunning scenery with bears!

We had this tour with Pavel today....what a great trip! I highly recommend it. We saw 12 bears en route and the scenery is breathtaking. I could have stayed there for hours and hours. We visited a Monastery, which was a stunning building. We had a very tasty lunch in a beautiful woodland/treehouse setting. We also stopped at the dam. Nothing was rushed, plenty of stops and nothing was too much trouble. Pavel was full of local knowledge & very happy to competently answer all questions. And a fabulous soundtrack the whole way and back too! (That may be personal taste of course, I thoroughly enjoyed it😆) Thanks again Pavel

It’s a long day but the “Top Gear” road and seeing the bears make it all worth while. We had a spectacular day and our guide Matt kept us well informed of all relevant facts, as well as leading some interesting discussions about world travel. Have paid twice as much for a tour half as good several times before. Can recommend.
The 4 star rating does...

The 4 star rating does not apply to our guide Victor, who would deserve a 10. He was so knowledgeable and attentive he really made the tour interesting. The reason for not giving a 5 star rating is because we were not able to go sledding as the snow had started to melt, then froze solid into sheet ice which made it impossible to sled. We were meant to take a ski mobile trip that day but the guide cancelled so we took this trip instead. It was for my husband’s birthday and whilst Victor made the day as enjoyable as possible we were very disappointed with the outcome. Maybe checking the conditions before accepting bookings would be the way forward.
A great day out!

Our experience was absolutely amazing! Since we were the only ones booked for the day, we were greeted with a car and received exceptional treatment throughout the entire trip. Our guide, Sebastian, was incredibly knowledgeable about Romanian history and the landmarks we visited, making every stop even more fascinating. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest who wants to escape the city for a day—it was easily the highlight of our trip. The places we visited were stunning, and we had so much fun sledding on the mountain. Plus, we appreciated having free time at each stop to explore on our own.
