Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I had a fantastic time in the Apuseni Mountains. Bogdan's knowledge of the area, his skill in hiking and caving and his past experiences were absolutely stellar, and were matched by his kindness and good humour. I would recommend to anyone!!!

This was one of a kind experience! Bogdan organized for us a tour of Gruieț Cave. A real adventure, under a safe surveillance, which included them all: adrenaline, a wild cave, a story. We liked it and will definitely repeat the experience.

Me and my friend wanted to do via ferrata at Pietrele Negre:I have fear of hights and for her this was the very first via ferrata experience. Bogdan was very understanding,patient and wanted us to have a great adventure:we were explained the basics,took several breaks în order to look at the landscape and take pictures or to receive extra help when needed.I recommend this type of activity as I became much closer to it and more willing to do it again after this day.

We had an awesome adventure despite this tour was are 2nd caving experience. Cristina (our guide) was so nice and patient towards us that we did not feel bad anytime during the rout. Also she made plenty of pictures for us so we could concentrate on climbing much more. Honestly, it was amazing...

Boghdan and Cristina have taken us for a full day in the Apuseni mountains. We started with an awesome via Ferrata trail, that perfectly suited our needs and abilities -- looking for some adrenaline, but hiking with three girls, the youngest of whom is 9. We continued to a caving excursion in a neat and cool (literally) cave in the mountains -- a really unique experience. Boghdan and Cristina were both professional, punctual, and very nice. Strongly recommended!

The canyoning in the Retezat mountains was super nice with Christina and Bogdan! Beautiful nature, laughing, big rappels from waterfalls and nice jumps into the water!

We took a half day canyoning expedition with our lovely guides SEP 2018 and had a great time. The canyon was fairly simple to descend and suitable for beginners. The guides were very friendly and took many photos which provided a nice memory of our trip. Location is convenient and certainly worth a visit. Romania is a beautiful country and we thoroughly enjoyed our road trip from South to North via the mountains. Prior to canyoning liaise with the guides to ensure that the trip can be tailored to your skill and experience level. If you enjoy canyoning sign on to this trip!

As promised on my last year's review, we've returned for more
Suits Bat/Bar Mitzvah trip or any other opportunity of adolescent & parent bonding.
We share our experiences of a week-long Bar Mitzvah trip in Romania. The trip suits families in favor of and experienced in nature-focused trips, comprising some adventure and physical effort.
We have chosen son & father trip in Romania following previous year family trip, when we experienced Romania for the first. Following a very satisfactory experience we wanted to come for more. Note that we have no Romanian background and no family links there.
The guiding principles planning the trip were:
• No driving
• Guided days and days on our own interleaved
• Equivalent effort for all days; no exceptional effort day followed by lazing
• One week duration
We planned the trip with the help of Cristina of travelguideromania.com, whom we met first on couple of guided days during the family trip. Cristina has proposed few alternatives and we chose browsing through information & photos available on the web. Let me stress that sites & landscape are far more beautiful & impressive than depicted in images one finds on the web.
Trip are were Apuseni mountains in the West of Romania. Apuseni are best accessed flying to Cluj-Napoca. Apuseni are different form Carpathians, even if often considered part of. These are low mountains with few peaks above 1600 meters. The mountains comprise mostly Karst rock, intensely worn by water, creating amazingly dense concentration of natural phenomena in a small area – caves, gorges, waterfalls, cliffs as well as a unique formation of completely enclosed by slopes dales or valleys, locally called “dolina”.
• Day 1: Picked at Cluj-Napoca airport in the afternoon and driven to Suncuius, about 2.5 hours away. Originally we have planned climbing a via ferrata there, however rain has started upon arrival and dark skies indicated more to come. Therefore we postponed climbing to the next day and strolled along the river instead. Then enjoyed dinner on a terrace overlooking the river. We have stayed and dined at Lavinia Pension, a very nice, quiet & pleasant place. Tip: there are no shops through the entire trip; make any needed shopping on the way from the airport. Particularly important a local sim.
• Day 2: After early breakfast a short drive to via ferrata location. Climbed for about an hour, descended back to the car and driven to rafting meeting point. Rafting lasted about 3 hours. Water is very shallow at the end of the summer, hence we have chosen a canoe for 2. I guess that visiting earlier in the year one better chose a large rafting boat with a guide. Rafting has been enjoyable and not challenging at all. After rafting we were driven to Vartop, a tiny ski resort where we chose to stay for the night. On the way a short stop at our guides’ Cristina & Bogdan at Beius to equip us with hiking map and instructions.
• Day 3: After an early breakfast we set off from Vartop to Padis, a tiny vacation resort as well. The walk was about 12km and included crossing two ridges and climbing a third. The route traverses diverse landscape: dense and sparse forests, pastures on steep slopes and hilltops, small creeks, wide dale crossed by a stream. There are neither villages nor individual house on the way, except Cabana Cetatile Ponorului – a hostel in the midst of the forest. We have stopped there for a short rest and a hearty soup. All cabanas serve soups as hikers’ lunch and they have never disappointed us.We have stopped for another rest at Poiana Ponor, a wide and very pleasant dale serving as pasture. Arrived at Padis in the late afternoon hours, finding our suitcase already there brought timely by our guides. Through the entire hike we met a single elderly local picking mushrooms; btw these are plentiful. Padis is located quite in the center of the trip area. Therefore we have chosen to stay there for 4 consecutive nights. This time we have stayed at Pensiune Bradet. We liked the nearby 5 Casute where we stayed the year before, better; even if it is very basic comparing to Pensiune Bradet.
• Day 4: Pick-up by Cristina after breakfast and drive to the starting point of Galbena river hike. Marched couple of kilometers along Galbena valley high above the water, enjoying views of the slopes and cliffs above. Arrived at valley bottom, where track comes close to water. There put on water socks, rubber boots & helmets on and entered the river. It is beautiful unmarked trail, including walking in the water and bypassing obstacles experiencing little technical difficulty. Completed the hike where we left the car, wet, tired, hungry and happy. Driven back to Padis; good shower, dry clothes, basic yet tasty dinner and early bed.
• Day 5: The original plan was hike to House of Stone, a tiny village concealed in a secluded valley. Studying the map we decided to forsake the original plan because it fairly mandates forth & back on the same route. We haven’t found circular route alternative within our capabilities. Instead, we have chosen a circular route traversing Pietrele Boghii; these are cliffs with amazing views down into Boga valley and onto mountains above Boga & Galbena. The trail starts with flat pastures, goes uphill through dense forest, arriving at the cliff, where we stopped to experience the landscape. Descent to Varsoaia valley, first through dense forest on a steep slope, then through pastures. The valley hosts Cabana Varsoaia, a very basic hostel suitable for backpackers. Stopped there for soup meal, as customary. Apart from an elderly couple, which keeps the cabana we have met nobody along the route. Returned to Padis for an early afternoon nap, the only one on this trip. Late afternoon climbed to Biserica Motului, a tiny prayer site on a hilltop above Padis with nice views on Padis & surroundings. The ascent looked short, yet proved to be tiring.
• Day 6: Pick-up after breakfast and driven to Glavoi, where the route to Cheile Galbenei starts. The hike starts uphill to Piatra Galbenei cliffs. The cliffs are a popular and fairly easy to reach site. Hence one should expect meeting other hikers there and on the way. The cliffs offer great views into Galbena valley below and the higher mountains above. From Piatra Galbenei a long descent through varied forests interleaved with some small pastures till arrival at the gorge, the prime objective of the hike. The gorge comprises waterfalls of various sizes and shapes. Most of the walk through the gorge is on stones and narrow path on the steep slope above (great care advised). There are some technical segments, equipped with cables or chains. This hike was probably the most beautiful we have experienced on our two visits to Apuseni and definitely the most tiring one. At the end pick-up and driven back to Padis. There we rapidly showered, packed and handed the suitcase to our guides, leaving with us only the essentials or the next day hike.
• Day 7: After early breakfast set-off for the hike from Padis to Stana De Vale, the longest hike on this trip with greatest altitude differences – about 20 km with over 600 meter ascent. This route differs from the previous ones – through most of it there are wide views into distance, as forested segments are small and mostly to the end of the trail. One must be well equipped with water & food for this hike. Walking on the ridge one may experience chilly wind, even on a warm day. Appropriate clothing advised. Views on the way very impressive – number of ridges in either direction, valleys hundreds of meters below, remote mountains on the horizon. Along the route we have met a single couple with mountain bikes. We’ve seen herdsmen far away and heard they dogs; nobody else. Descended into Stana fairly hungry. Though we haven’t planned that, we settled for a meal at the restaurant of Iadolina hotel. The restaurant excellent with great selection of surprisingly elaborate dishes. Our guide Bogdan has picked and driven us to their place in Beius for a short rest before our flight back.
• Day 8: Departed after midnight to the airport. Unfortunately our flight departed from Cluj-Napoca at 6:10. This has been the sole deficiency of the trip.
In summary – we had a great experience, which could have hardly been better. Cristina & Bogdan have done a great job planning our trip and guiding us through it.
