4x4-tours, THE adventure you HAVE to give it a GO. - For me it was the third time having the opportunity to be apart of this amazing experience, Marius, the best travel guide known by me, who I highly recommend to all of you whom are reading this review. From the very beginning of the tour Marius started to explain via walkie-talkies all the things that were passing around by us, making us learn new things throughout the whole experience. As in the cars that made our trip possible, outstanding 4x4 machines that can push their limit to their maximum while also creating the safe feeling and relaxing trip from the very start of it. We highly recommend Marius and his higly appreciated 4x4 tours throughout our beloved country, Romania.

Unforgettable event in untouched nature away from the usual paths and roads - There were 8 of us and we had a fantastic off-road tour through the Carpathians in wonderful autumn weather with great views of the surrounding mountains and landscapes. The trip was simply fantastic and our tour guides were excellent. Thanks again to Marius who put together such a great tour for us. I can only recommend it.

Off-road enthousiast - We had a great one day trip with Marius. Marius is an off-road fan and this is something you notice in his enthusiasm of going off-road. He has found some real pearls of off-road tracks and he has shared his knowledge regarding the country and the people. Excellent experience. Even so we did the one day tour, after speaking with Marius I would recommend a multi day tour to get more experience and find more hidden gems in Romania. Thank you Marius!!

Amazing experience! - Amazing experience! A real way to experience the nature of Romania! The company's service is excellent, from the initial contact to after the trip. Marius was very helpful and answered everything we wanted to know. A few days before the trip we received a message from the guide / driver who will accompany us on the trip. Dragus the guide was great, we had an excellent experience with him. Picked us up exactly at the time we agreed (arrived even earlier), Dragus explained everything in a detailed and interesting way and took us to amazing places. Starting with the picturesque villages and the mountains that surround them, We did a hike in Zarnesti canyon which was amazing and added to the experience. The experience was above and beyond what we expected. We strongly recommend everyone visiting Romania to experience it in this way.

Totally recommend this!! - We had an amazing afternoon in the company of Dragos, who was our guide for the tour. The experience itself is amazing due to the breathtaking views (make sure to book the tour on a day with visibility, 100% worth it) and the offroad tour itself is done in a controlled and safe environment, Dragos was an excellent driver.

Relaxing adventure with amazing scenery - It was a fresh day off with a couple of friends that showed us even the locals (we live in Brasov) have a few new things to discover. The scenery is amazing and it was a relaxing atmosphere with the Marius driving in a safe manner. We had a few memorable moments, one of which involved eating a load of cherries straight from an old tree at the top of the hills on a long forgotten path. Will come back with the family later in the year, as it's a good way to show our young boy the beauties of the land.
