Review of Bucharest’s Transfăgărășan day trip, with bears, Vidraru Dam, Bâlea Lake, mountain views, practical tips, price, and seasonal limits.
“I can really say that both our driver and guide were really nice and kind people. The guide was explaining everything about its history and how it is today; his English was really good, and he was also telling us many funny stories. The trip was indeed a lot of hours and tiring, but in my opinion, it was 100% worth the view and experience; we even saw bears! One thing I would recommend is being able to stay a bit longer at the destination, as there are views, restaurants, and mini shops!”
