Tudor was a great guide, flexible, and the experience itself was incredible. It can be quite difficult at some points, so I would not recommend if you have fear of heights, but otherwise it's accessible for anyone who has a good physical health. Tudor was really helpful on harder parts and the views were amazing !

Via ferrata with Tudor

Romy_D, Apr 2024

Tudor was oure guide. We had an amazing klimb. We never did this before and we had a hard time, bud we made it! Good shoes would help us better. Beautiful memory en a lot of pictures. Thanks Tudor!

Buckle up go forward... it's worth it

The gorge is.... gorgeous. It's not unfair to compare it to utopia. Andrei work me so hard hiking up steep hills and slippery slopes for 2 hours...no regrets. I will do it all over again. I am also constantly being fed information about the history.

Amazing experience

Helene_D, Sep 2023

This was an Amazing experience! Really recommend it to everyone. The guides Tudor and Julia was so kind and helpful people, we felt really safe! We had a lot of fun with them from when we got picked up, under the climb, to the end when they dropped us off at where we stayed. They also took a lot of pictures of us under the climb which was really nice. All was just perfect!🤩🤩🤩

Tudor was a great guide,...

Amazing first via ferrata experience!

Victoria_S, Sep 2023

This was my first time doing a via ferrata. Tudord and his girlfriend Julia were amazing guides. They made me feel comfortable and confident that I could do it and shared a lot of knowledge about Romania and their region. Just very nice people. I've already recommended this trip to many people while I've been traveling!

Awesome climb and views

Aisling_K, May 2023

Had a great time out with Andrei on the via Ferrata and hike around Cheile Turzii. You definitely need to have a decent strength/fitness level if you choose to do the climb but I would highly recommend you do as the views all the way up and on the top are just incredible. Andrei was a great encouragement the whole way, and we had lots to talk about regarding Transylvania, the history and topography of the land. Really happy I did this (despite having no typical hiking gear thanks to a lost luggage) and is a great way to see the gorge safely.

Great Experience in a Beauitful Area

Marc_H, May 2023

Great experience and an amazing guide. Beautiful area and a fun trip. Would reccomend highly. Andrei knows his stuff!

Must do in Cluj!

Malene_T, Mar 2023

All in all, no complaints! .. perfect weather conditions, really good and cool guide, safe equipment, amazing scenery and just a really great experience, that we would recommend with out a question to everyone!

Awesome climbing and hiking.

Lucas_T, Sep 2022

It was the afternoon and evening after a rain, and it was absolutely stunning. Some fog was in the gorge, and the sunset was insane. Guide was super nice and had lots of knowledge for the trip and for surrounding areas. I would recommend being physically fit for this activity, as it was somewhat difficult at points. Climbing and hike was so cool.

Perfect first via ferrata experience

Salah_E, Jun 2022

Great fun in the beautifull Cheile Turzii mountains

Noah_R, Apr 2022

The hike is very doable and a lot of fun thanks to the tour guide Tudor. Definitely a must do while you are in Cluj!

Adrenaline filled adventure with great sights and guide

PaulaP, Aug 2021

Tudor was very open and friendly. As we were first time via ferrat'ers we had no idea what we are getting in to, but he clearly explained us everything we needed to know and helped us along the way by calmly pushing (sometimes literally) us forward. There was no rush and whenever we got tired or didn't know how to proceed he was there to help us. We think that if you feel a bit more adventures this defiantly beets the other offers we saw for this location. You can challenge your fears, see the park in unique and thrilling way. We drove with a rented car. He gave us the location for meetup and took us to the park and dropped us of afterwards. We loved the challenge and most of all the feeling of accomplishment after the climb. As for tips - maybe you should be able to do a pull up 1-2 times to make it easier, come on a weekday (as there were no other climbers and we could take our time), get a beer with Tudor at the parks restaurant after the climb!

Ne passer pas à côté

Emie_H, Mar 2024

Juste incroyable, un point culminant de notre voyage en Roumanie. Tudor est un guide d'exception et une personne incroyable avec de très bon conseils. Les gorges sont juste splendide. Nous l'avons fait en début mars entre 10 et 18° les conditions étaient parfaites. La via ferrata ne fait pas peur en soit et les prises sont assez intuitive (que 2 via ferrata à mon actif). Nous recommandons à 300% ! Une très belle randonnée à faire pour compléter l'aventure. Merci encore !
