Embark on a private day hike through the remote and untouched Taga Mountains, just outside of Brașov, near Piatra Craiului National Park. This off-the-beaten-path trek takes you along unmarked forest roads that open up to breathtaking panoramic views over the Southern Carpathians. The hike offers a unique glimpse into the beauty of Burzenland, a historic and ethnographic region in southeastern Transylvania also known as “The Little Transylvania,” home to a diverse mix of Romanian, German, and Hungarian cultures.
As you journey through deep forests and open meadows blooming with wildflowers, take in the spectacular views of Piatra Mare, Postăvarul, Baiului Mountains, Bucegi Natural Park, Iezer-Păpușa, Făgăraș Mountains, and Piatra Craiului. The trail provides perfect vantage points for photography, offering some of the most scenic perspectives in the region.

Thanks Patrick, even with a near constant rain all day- it was still a great experience & we will do it again someday without the fog! Patrick made the best of the weather and still fulfilled all aspects of the tour with positivity and a smile. He shared a wealth of info and provided a good amount of time at each of the stops. Each of the stops was thoughtfully planned and didn't feel touristy. If you get the opportunity to take this tour, do it- you'll enjoy the day regardless of the rain!
What an amazing experience! We had a very nice, funny and good guide. He knew a lot to tell and took the time to visit the beautiful places and take pictures. The tour has run a lot late, but that didn't stop Neil from getting everything out of the tour for us until the last minute. Definitely recommended to do when you are in Dublin! The photos show some places that we were allowed to visit, I think they speak for themselves!
This was a truly memorable small-group tour – a perfect choice for anyone wanting to explore the area in depth. We visited a number of fascinating sites, learned so much about the landmarks, and enjoyed the friendly, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. The highlight for me was travelling through the Sally Gap, where the mist created an almost mystical and unforgettable landscape. The Guide was fantastic!
A great tour that I would definitely recommend. The itinerary is complete enough that you can stop in many great spots for pictures, while not being so full that you have to run from one place to the other. Our guide, Patrick, was the best! Lots of interesting information about the sites we visited as well as Ireland in general. I really enjoyed talking rugby with him. Overall a great day.
Led by Patrick, the Wild Wicklow tour on 25 May provided an exceptional opportunity to experience the remarkable natural beauty of Glendalough and Wicklow. The tour was absolutely amazing! I will cherish the memories of this day for a long time. We set off on time in the morning in a modern, very comfortable coach, which Patrick drove expertly through the difficult roads. From the start of the tour until the end, Patrick gave an engaging presentation on the history, culture and botany of the areas covered, demonstrating a high level of enthusiasm and expertise. His genuine, polite and organised manner was absolutely perfect! He did brilliantly, managing to stay within the set time and allowing us to enjoy the stops without worrying about time. We can't thank him enough for his suggestions — they were invaluable! And what a fantastic way to end the tour — with a whisky tasting! It was great to meet you, Patrick!
