Andrei was an incredible tour guide. Very informative on the country/region.
Tour date was on October 8, but due to heavy snowfall Andrei offered to move it to the next day.
It was the first heavy snowfall of the year and unusually early, so the road was closed to cars, meaning we had the road to ourselves. We had to walk the last 2-3km with our bikes because the snow was too deep. Andrei offered to stay with the bikes whilst I go up to the lake. However, we both persisted despite the cold and low visibility conditions. A well-deserved meal and hot drink was consumed once at the lake.
The downhill trip was much easier and the clouds had started to clear up, offering incredible views!
Andrei was also able to drop me off at the bus station on the way back.
Many thanks Andrei. An incredible experience and I hope to come back one day.

Andrei was an excellent guide. It was rainy and cold and we sadly didn’t get to see much but it was still an excellent day!

This was definitely a highlight of my Romania trip! Top bikes, amazing organisation, and Andrei is a wonderful guide. I can only recommend this to experience the Transfagarasan! Any fitness level can do this tour.

Good way to see the Transfagaran road. All care is taken and it is a very safe ride and made easy by the e-bike.

We loved our e-bike ride on the transfagarassan! Andrei is a wonderful guide and we had a blast while seeing the amazing mountains of romania!

This is a great once in a lifetime experience. Andrei was amazing and so friendly. It was great even for someone with no experience like me. And the scenery breathtaking. We are already thinking about other trips for next year. Andrei recommended some mountain trails I would love to do.
