To discover the Transfagarasan road with its unforgettable scenery is indeed an adventure, especially for those daredevils who wish to reach peaks once untouched but by chamois and golden eagles. Transfagarasan Highway - rated by Top Gear as the most spectacular road in the world, the Transfagarasan impresses with its extraordinary scenery, the number of serpentines and the height at which it was built, the Fagaras mountains being the highest in Romania; thus, the Transfagarasan reaches altitudes up to 2042 meters at Lake Balea where it starts its descent to Cartisoara village; here, on a 30 km stretch we can enjoy the sight of the road in all its splendor. Lake Balea - a glacier lake formed in a cirque (a depression surrounded by high mountains) at an altitude of 2040 metres; it lies on an area of 4,6 hectares (the length of the lake is 360 metres) and its depth is of approximately 11 metres.

The whole family loved it. The guide Alin was incredible, he gave us all the explanations and was very pleasant.
Our trip to Transfagarasan with Alin was perfect from start to finish! Alin is exceptionally friendly and shares a wealth of local knowledge during the trip. The van he transported us in was very comfortable and he stopped at all of the best spots to see the most spectacular views and take plenty of photos. We would highly recommend Alin to anyone who wishes to do this day trip! Thank you again for an unforgettable experience :-)

Actually, this tour was amazing! Alin picked us up straight from our hotel and dropped us back after – zero hassle. He's such a great storyteller, and he shared so many interesting facts about Romania along the way – history, culture, legends, you name it. The whole ride just flew by. And the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking! Winding roads carved right into the mountains, huge valleys below and lake. We stopped at a bunch of awesome viewpoints for pics and just stood there taking it all in. At the end we got to take the cable car down, gliding with incredible views the whole way, and Alin was already waiting for us at the bottom. Seriously unforgettable – if you're thinking about it, just book it!
We spent the day with Alin on a private tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly very passionate about Romania, which really brought the experience to life. Part of the road is closed at this time of year due to snow, so we took the cable car up instead — which was a great experience with stunning views at the top. Just make sure to wear proper snow boots as it’s very snowy up there! Overall, a fantastic day with a genuinely lovely guide. Highly recommend.
Had an amazing day even though the weather was against us and we did not get the views we were hoping for. Alin was very knowledgeable and made this a lovely day. On a clear day this trip will be out of this world !
Incredibly awesome trip! and Romania's best guide Alin! An awesome landscape that must be experienced! and many interesting conversations with Alin!
Great experience it ended up just being my mom and I and he was able to accommodate for us. The drive from Brasov was easy and the views on the highway spectacular. We had lots of great conversations and he provided some great local tips.
Had a really great time exploring! Alin is a great tour guide and knows a lot about the area and Romania in general. How communication was quick and clear leading up to the tour. Would 100% recommend!
I had a really nice day trip to the beautiful transfagarsan road , every thing was very well organized and the guide was very friendly and helpful, I highly recommend this trip.
