Untravelled Paths Reviews 

Our trip was fantastic, we loved seeing Romania, it's brown bears and mountains, it is such a beautiful country. Cristina, our guide made it such a special experience for us: guiding us to some amazing hiking locations in the mountains; great recommendations on where to eat, drink and visit in Brasov and Budapest; entertaining stories and local knowledge; and such good fun to be with. Thank you so much!

Many memories. We were lucky that we got on really well with the other couple on the tour. Marius our guide was very knowledgeable. Had a great sense of humour & put up well with us four. All hotels were good, some a bit quirky. Enjoyed everywhere we went. Great wine. Highlights were the bears & the cows coming home! Cant thank Marius enough for his kindness. He drove us many miles. Very patient.

The tour guide and the trip to the various breath taking views around Transilvanya.
Marius the guide tour leader was exceptionally helpful and made sure that the old grumpy boys. Definitely was a real gentleman to the two beautiful ladies.
Every day the adventure got better and better. The mountains and seen the bears in the wild would be unforgettable. I love it all. Thank you Marius and the group.

and my husband (Alexandra and Joe Ellis) have just come back from a trip to Transylvania with Marius. The trip was amazing, beautiful places, great myths and legends and very well timed and spaced out. 

What a great guide we had in Marius. He was just great, we gave him the nickname of Marius the Magnificent!  He was so affable, friendly and easy. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt entirely looked after. 

He gave us loads of info, not just about places on the trip, but about Romania in general and was happy to answer every question we threw at him. He laughed and joked with us and made us so at ease. He messaged me each day just to say good morning, what a lovely gesture. He also messaged me to make sure we had been picked up on our last day and asked me to pass on his regards to the other couple with us. What a lovely guy. 

We want to pass on our thanks to Untravelled Paths for a fabulous trip but especially to Marius the Magnificent for being the most perfect guide.

Thank you very much our lovely Marius the Magnificent, you were an absolute treasure. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you Marius.

A fabulous, well organised tour with a wonderful guide, Cristina. We would thoroughly recommend.

Happily everything went according according to plan and we stayed in some really interesting and unique accommodation in Matera and Alberabelo and Bari. The activities (olive farm, vineyard, pasta making, bike rides, etc) were well run and interesting. Transport in the minibus was comfortable. Special mention must go to Marius who added a few extra activities for us and looked after us very well.

Could not recommend Christina (and her Mum who drove us :-) highly enough ...Me and My wife just completed last week the 4 x day Winter Dracula Tour in Transylvania and it was nothing short of incredible :-)

from the moment we arrived to Christina's smiling face at the airport we were already put at ease and the rest of the trip went without fault.
Christina was knowledgeable about the topics and all the questions we asked Her whilst we took a 4 x day trip in incredible surroundings of Bucharest city and old town, Snagov Monastary ..the incredible Bran Castle, Brashov, Sibiu ..the Carpathian Mountains many other scenic delights in a truly impressive county ....

rather than the stale, stuffy and boring tours by numbers you can go on sometimes ..Christina , Her mum and the Untraveled paths team ...instead made it Fun, friendly, informal and full of energy ....we can’t wait to go back ...and would most definitely recommend ..thanks once Guys for a truly great, fun and memorable trip :-)

Our Dracula experience could not have been better. All made possible by our wonderful Untravelled Paths guide Alin. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Dracula legacy and the natural history and wildlife of Transylvania and he offered us a real local insight into this fascinating area of Europe. Quality accommodation at all our overnight stops in Bucharest, Brasov and Sibiu with some interesting daytime stops in Sighisoara and Targoviste. Hats off to Untravelled Paths for this Experience.

Fabulous trip and worthwhile experience which we would highly recommend. Our tour guide Marius was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable, funny & caring. He really looked after everyone on the tour and ensured that we all had a good time. When we missed our connecting flight on the way to Romania, we were very stressed and Marius was so helpful and arranged our shuttle from the airport when we arrived on a later flight. Terrible experience with Ryanair but nothing to do with Untravelled Paths. Our walking tour guide in Brasov was also very good. Hotels were nice and transport was very comfortable and we had regular comfort stops as lots of travelling involved. Really enjoyed visits to both castles and the meal and stay at the ice hotel. Had great fun in the snow, enjoyed the tunnel trek and the disco in the ice bar. Staff were really nice in the chalet at Balea Lake. Thanks to Untravelled Paths for a fabulous trip and especially to Marius.

From the moment we landed at Bucharest Airport to the moment we said goodbye to our driver for our return, everything was perfect.
We were on the 4 night Ice Hotel Experienceat Easter.
We visited Peles Castle, Brasov, Bran Castle and Balea Lac. We never felt rushed and everything went to plan. Weather could have been better up the mountain but that is all down to luck. So glad to have had the opportunity to eat and sleep in the Ice Hotel. It was amazing!
Thank you to the office team who provided an excellent guide and plan for our stay.
Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Also, a big thank you to Alin, our excellent guide.

Marius was amazing
Hotels were amazing
Days out were amazing
Loved all of it !

My husband and I had an amazing time during our Dracula Experience a few days ago.Marius was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide and host and the trip was organised fantastically .Everything went so smoothly and we had an unforgettable holiday.

Kristina our guide was great very knowledgeable and helpful.
Peles castle was beautiful well worth the visit and would definitely recommend.
The Ice hotel was amazing, it was snowing most of the time that we were there, only disappointment was no snow mobiles and nothing to do just sat in the cafe, they need more activities available.
Bran castle was nice outside, but not much to see inside.
Overall excellent experience and trip

This was a fantastic experience, being picked up at the airport by a courteous friendly driver, having a brilliant knowledgeable tour guide (Christina) and supplying some wonderful hotels to stay in. Would highly recommend and use these guys again. We are already looking for a mountain holiday after a taste of the ice hotel in the Romanian mountains!

Had a great time exploring Romania, the trip was well organised, everything ran to schedule and our guide Christina was wonderful - full of energy and nothing was too much trouble.

We had a fantastic trip well organised and our guide Cristina was always very happy and helpful even organised surprise birthday wishes to people on our trip.
The trip was a great adventure with highlight being ice hotel.
Keep up your fantastic work Christina

We did the ice hotel experience and absolutely loved it.

The trip was a good price and very well organised.
Marius our guide was superb, he was exceptionally knowledgeable and his passion for the history of Romania and the places we visited shone through. He was also entertaining and fun and made sure we all had a great time.
The hotels were all high standard.

Would definitely recommend untravelled paths to anyone.

The whole trip was amazing .we were picked up by a fabulous guide driver who gave us a potted history of Bucharest as we drove to the hotel.All the hotels were lovely welcoming staff and friendly. Bur without a doubt the thing that made this trip really special was our fantastic guide Christina.She went above and beyond to help everyone she was cheerful...heloed me down the stairs in the snow and even carried my bag.Everyone on the tour agreed she is very special and a national treasure. My only suggestion is to remove the trip to Bran Castle which is a disappointment and not worth the money or the effort.it might also be useful to suggest that the mountain trip gorgeous as it was might not be suitable for people with mobility issues.i will definitely travel with you again but if you could send Christina it would be even better.

What an incredible trip. Something completely different. We fell a little bit in love with Romania. Unspoilt, clean air, mountains, snow, sunshine, great food and wine, we got to sample it all. Christina, our guide, is a ray of sunshine, knowledgable and such a happy fun person. She made the trip extra special!
