,,I and some friends went on a hiking tour in Baiului Mt. in Romania and it was amazing. We asked Dan from Outdoor Activities in Romania to join us in the trip and it worth it! Dan has been an amazing guide as he was there all the time to support us and show us amazing views. If Dan weren’t with us we probably would have picked another route not as spectacular at the one we went. Dan is a truly devoted to what he’s doing and it was a pleasure having him among us. We laughed a lot and we found many interesting things about the mountains and not only.
We highly recommend Outdoor Activities in Romania!‘’ Ciprian, from Romania, about this tour
