The Transylvania Amphitheater is the name given to an ensemble of old houses, remodelled from natural materials in a very personal style, scattered among the hills, at a considerable distance from any other settlement. It is the story still being materialized of a family originating from the Republic of Moldova. They accidentally discovered the spectacular generosity of nature in the area and decided to add some comfort elements to spend weekends and holidays here. Running water, electricity, a stable road and rooms formed in reconsolidated old wooden houses

Amazing!
Ramona is a great guide. The hike was super divers and the views were incredible. We didn’t not have our raincoats with us so Ramona took jackets for us, so nice! The lunch was very tasty with traditional Romanian cheeses. All in all, definitely recommend to book this hike. We enjoyed ourselves so much and definitively one of the highlight of our holiday.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review :)

Idyllic trip through the Romanian countryside
This was an absolutely fantastic trip! The views along the ridge line of the Bucegi mountains were stunning. Ramona was an excellent guide, gave us great tips on Romanian food and knew the area very well. You get to hike through a post-card like landscape and see amazing views from the Bucegi mountains. The surrounding village had no tourists and the landscape was remote and gorgeous. Our favorite trip by far.
Response from the operator: Sounds like you had a fabulous experience in Romania! Thank you for the review :)

Transylvania Amphitheater, lovely place
We took this tour not knowing where it would take us, as some friends recommended it. The tour is really landscapes and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She was also very reliable and showed up at the meeting point exactly at the time mentioned, which is a plus. She really seemed passionate about Romania so that’s another plus from my side. If we ever come back, we’ll think about booking another tour with her.
Response from the operator: Thanks for leaving this great review!
